Ojos Tapatios
Alejandro Fernandez · 100 Años de Música Mexicana en Vivo [2004]
En la tierra mía
Que los negros ojos
De una Tapatía.
Miradas que matan
Ardientes pupilas
Sombra cuando duerme
Luz cuando nos miran.
En noche de luna
Perfume de azahares
En el cielo estrellas
Y tibios los aires.
Y tras de la reja
Cubierta de flores
La novia que espera
Temblando de amores.
Y al ver esos ojos
Que inquietos esperan
Apagan sus luces
Las blancas estrellas.
Los aires esparcen
Aromas mejores
Y todas las aves
Suspiran de amor.
Por una mirada de tan lindos ojos
Estrellas y flores padecen enojos.
Los aires suspiran el cielo se apaga
Y en el alma vaga la queja de amor.
