Lyrics Enric Granados El Mirar De La Maja (Englisch)

The Gaze Of The Maja

Why is it that the gaze in my eyes is so deep
that to avoid scorn and anger
I am to half close them?
What fire must they carry within
that if I fix them warmly on my love
they make me blush?
And so the rogue to whom I gave my soul,
finding himself before me, throws his hat to my
feet and says to me:
“My dear! Look at me no
more, for your eyes are rays burning
with passion that kill me”.
