by Juan López de Úbeda (flourished 16th century)
Translation by Paul Heyse (1830 - 1914)

A los ojos del Niño Jesús
Language: Spanish (Español) 
Los ojos del Niño son 
graciosos, lindos y bellos
y ti enen no se qué en ellos 
que me roba el corazón.

Pídole quiera mirarme 
porque viéndose él en mí
el mirar y amarse allí 
es mirar por mí y amarme.

Mis ojos van con razón 
tras los del Niño tan bellos
pues ti ene no se qué en ellos 
que me roba el corazón

Our translations:  CAT ENG FRE ITA
  Ach, des Knaben Augen sind
Mir so schön und klar erschienen,
Und ein Etwas strahlt aus ihnen,
Das mein ganzes Herz gewinnt.
 
  Blickt' er doch mit diesen süßen
Augen nach den meinen hin!
Säh' er dann sein Bild darin,
Würd' er wohl mich liebend grüßen.

Und so geb' ich ganz mich hin,
Seinen Augen nur zu dienen,
Denn ein Etwas strahlt aus ihnen,
Das mein ganzes Herz gewinnt.
