Ojos Verdes Lyrics (English Translation) – Nicki Nicole

I know that you dream of being able to change things
You regret it and you are dying to see me
But, baby, it doesn’t hurt me anymore, the roses have withered
Good luck finding me in other green eyes

But I brought out the best in you
And you realized the day I left
Who are you going to fool? Who are you going to lie to?
Saying you don’t miss me?

I know you’re with someone else, but thinking of me
And you give him the kisses that one day I gave you
Who are you going to fool? Who are you going to lie to?
Saying you don’t miss me?
(Ay, ay, ay, ay)
You will regret
(Ay, ay, ay, ay)
When you see me there
(Ay, ay, ay, ay)
You’re going to have to pretend
When you see me face to face

I know it bothers you
That when you call me, there is no answer
And that, to forget you, there was no need for alcohol or party
It hurts you that you are past for me
And that you think of me ‘every time he sleeps with her’

I don’t wish you the best, because you already lost me
But may you do well with what you got.
I already forgave you, but don’t come back
I already closed the door on your love

people tell me
Who sees you badly, don’t make you look innocent
Good luck finding me in other green eyes

But I brought out the best in you
And you realized the day I left
Who are you going to fool? Who are you going to lie to?
Saying you don’t miss me?

I know you’re with someone else, but thinking of me
And you give him the kisses that one day I gave you
Who are you going to fool? Who are you going to lie to?
Saying you don’t miss me? (Come on, NICKI)

(Ay, ay, ay, ay)
You will regret
(Ay, ay, ay, ay)
When you see me there
(Ay, ay, ay, ay)
You’re going to have to pretend
When you see me face to face
