A unos ojos

Language: Spanish (Español)

Our translations: FRE

¡Ah! Luceros radiantes, luceros hermosos,
Sois ojos graciosos:
Mas ¿que fuisteis antes?
¡Ah! Teneis de estudiantes el ser revoltosos;
Más por lo alevosos,
Pareceis matantes.

Alegres ojillos, ojillos traviesos,
¿Cómo sois tan sabios,
Cómo sois tan pillos,
Qué sabéis de besos
Cual si fueseis labios?
¡Ay!

À deux yeux

Language: French (Français) after the Spanish (Español)

Ah ! étoiles rayonnantes, belles étoiles,
Vous êtes des yeux magnifiques :
Mais, qu'étiez-vous avant ?
Ah ! Vous tenez des étudiants le caractère rebelle ;
Mais pour les traîtres,
Vous semblez prêts à tuer.

Petits yeux effrontés, petits yeux coquins,
Pourquoi êtes-vous si sages,
Pourquoi êtes-vous si méchants,
Que savez-vous des baisers,
Comme si vous étiez des lèvres ?
