Mis ojos tienen la culpa (Canción al estilo nativo)
Language: Spanish (Español) 
Our translations:  ENG
Pasaré mi triste vida... ¡Ay de mí!
Buscando en ella disculpa
Por no tener qué decir ¡Ay de mí!
Mis ojos tienen la culpa
Mis ojos tienen la culpa
Con ellos he de pagar
Porque con ellos he visto ¡Ay de mí!
A quien no puedo olvidar
Pasaré mi triste vida
Buscando en ella disculpa
Buscando en ella disculpa
Por no tener qué decir ¡Ay de mí!
Mis ojos tienen la culpa
Pasaré mi triste vida... ¡Ay de mí!

My eyes are to blame
Language: English  after the Spanish (Español) 
I will spend my sad life... Poor me!
Seeking in it forgiveness
For not having what to say, poor me!
My eyes are to blame
My eyes are to blame
With them I will pay
Because with them I have seen, poor me!
Whom I cannot forget
I will spend my sad life
Seeking in it forgiveness
Seeking in it forgiveness
For not having what to say, poor me!
My eyes are to blame
I will spend my sad life... Poor me!
