Ojos Tristes
Lyrics:
[Español]
No, it's not hard to see that you probably feel worse than me
It's not your fault I have to leave
Please don't you look that way, baby
Those sad eyes, sad eyes
You know I don't wanna say goodbye
Don't cry, don't cry, just hold me for one last time
El muchacho de los ojos tristes
Vive solo y necesita amor
Como el aire necesita verme
Como el sol lo necesito yo
El muchacho de los ojos tristes
Ha encontrado al fin una razón
Para hacer que su mirada ría
Con mis besos y mi gran amor
Han passado dos anos
Te sigo pensando
En todos mis sentidos
Antes eran tus ojos
Lloviendo en otoño
Y ahora son los míos
Como cambió, amor
Felices éramos los dos
Y ahora lloro, por Dios
Tristeza en mi amaneció
El muchacho de los ojos tristes
Vive solo y necesita amor
Como el aire necesita verme
Como el sol lo necesito yo
El muchacho de los ojos tristes
Ha encontrado al fin una razón
Para hacer que su mirada ría
Con mis besos y mi gran amor
La-da-da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da
La-da-da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da
La-da-da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da
La-da-da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da

Grammar:
-
It's not your fault I have to leave
➔ Subjunctive Mood with 'have to'
➔ While not overtly subjunctive, "I have to leave" implies a sense of obligation that is not directly the subject's choice. The structure suggests a reason or external force compelling the speaker to leave. The "fault" is explicitly stated not to be the other person's, highlighting an unavoidable circumstance.
-
El muchacho de los ojos tristes
➔ Prepositional Phrase as an Adjective
➔ The phrase "de los ojos tristes" functions as an adjective modifying "muchacho". It describes the kind of boy being talked about – a boy with sad eyes.
-
Como el aire necesita verme
➔ Subjunctive Mood in 'Como' clauses expressing comparison and hypothetical situations
➔ While the verb used here, "necesita," is in the indicative, the "como" here is expressing a strong need similar to how air needs to see the speaker. In Spanish, expressing something of high unlikelihood or desirability would trigger the subjunctive. In the colloquial, it can be passed over. This exemplifies nuanced subjunctive usage.
-
Han passado dos anos
➔ Impersonal 'Haber' with past participle
➔ 'Han pasado' uses the impersonal form of 'haber' to indicate the passing of time. 'Haber' remains singular even if the time period is plural ('dos años').

➔ Gerund with 'Seguir'
➔ 'Seguir + gerund' expresses continuing action. 'Te sigo pensando' means 'I keep thinking about you'.
-
Felices éramos los dos
➔ Imperfect Tense to describe past states with 'Ser'
➔ The imperfect tense ('éramos') describes a past state or condition that was ongoing or habitual. 'Felices éramos los dos' means 'We were happy (back then)'.
