Ojos de Oliva

Olive Eyes

Ojos verdes son un problema para mí.Green eyes are a problem of mine.
Oh chica, no suplicaré por perdón; errar es divino,Oh girl,I won't beg for forgiveness; to err is divine,
Y desde que esas campanas sonaron, anhelas por ella,And ever since those bells had played you long for her,
Casada con un hombre que tus padres criaron, tu propio hermano.Married to a man your parents raised, your own brother.

La noche es joven,The night is young,
Abstente de encender su cigarro. Rostro familiar,Refrain from lighting his cigar. Familiar face,
¿Crees que solo criaremos desprecio?You think we'll only breed contempt?
¿Tienes un útero?You have a womb?
Debes entregarme un niño.You shall deliver me a boy.
Él tendrá mis ojos,He'll have my eyes,
Mis ojos de oliva.My olive eyes.

Ojos verdes es un sobrino míoGreen eyes is a nephew of mine
Oh chico, no pediré a mi hijo ahora, el clima está bien.Oh boy, I won't ask for my son now, the weather is fine.
Y sabiendo como ella sabe, su hermano sabe, ella se muerde la lengua.And knowing as she does, his brother does, she bites her tongue.
Matándola porque su fanfarronería era, cuando ella era joven.Killing her because his swagger was, when she was young.

La noche es joven,The night is young,
Abstente de encender su cigarro. Rostro familiar,Refrain from lighting his cigar. Familiar face,
¿Crees que solo criaremos desprecio?You think we'll only breed contempt?
¿Tienes un útero?You have a womb?
Debes entregarme un niño.You shall deliver me a boy.
Él tendrá mis ojos,He'll have my eyes,
Mis ojos de oliva.My olive eyes.

Ojos verdes que habían entendido esto a tiempo.Green eyes who had clocked this in time.
Oh querido, tenía desprecio por su tío, su madre estaba bien.Oh dear, had contempt for his uncle, his mother was fine.
Y sintiendo como él lo hizo, la brecha de confianza rodea su nacimiento,And feeling as he did, the breach of trust surrounds his birth,
A través de su verdadero padre, hunde el arma, lleno de alegría.Through his real father, plunges weapon, full of mirth.

La noche es joven,The night is young,
Abstente de encender su cigarro. Rostro familiar,Refrain from lighting his cigar. Familiar face,
¿Crees que solo criaremos desprecio?You think we'll only breed contempt?
¿Tienes un útero?You have a womb?
Debes entregarme un niño.You shall deliver me a boy.
Él tendrá mis ojos,He'll have my eyes,
Mis ojos de oliva.My olive eyes.
