Dark Eyes Lyrics

1.

Dark eyes, passionate eyes

Burning and splendid eyes

How I love you, how I fear you

Verily, I espied you in an ill-starred moment

2.

Oh, not for nothing are you darker than the deep!

I see mourning for my soul in you,

I see a triumphant flame in you:

A poor heart immolated in it.

3.

But I am not sad, I am not sorrowful,

My fate is soothing to me:

All that is best in life, God gave us.

In sacrifice I returned to the fiery eyes!
