ABOUT THIS SONG
release date of original song (Al Martino): 1965
music: Bert Kaempfert
lyrics: Charles Singleton and Eddie Snyder
release date of this version: January 25, 2026
length: 3 min 3 sec
vocals: Chris Tong
karaoke arrangement: KaraFun

My cover of the beautiful song, Spanish Eyes. While Al Martino's original version was more forceful throughout (like the movements of a bullfighter or tango dancer), my version saves the force for the song's high points, and focuses more on the sensual quality of Latin music the rest of the time (as I did in my cover of Sway). I'm using a karaoke arrangement based on Engelbert Humperdink's version of the song. I love the steady pulse of the drums! It's the song's heartbeat.


LYRICS

Blue Spanish eyes
Teardrops are falling from your Spanish eyes
Please, please don't cry
This is just adios and not goodbye
Soon I'll return
Bringing you all the love your heart can hold
Please say, "Sí, sí"
Say you and your Spanish eyes will wait for me

Blue Spanish eyes
Prettiest eyes in all of Mexico
True Spanish eyes
Please smile for me once more before I go
Soon I will return
Bringing you all the love your heart can hold
Please say, "Sí, sí"
Say you and your Spanish eyes will wait for me
Say you and your Spanish eyes will wait for me


ADDITIONAL NOTES

Key change. I lowered the key of the song a couple of notes to better suit my voice.
