Rubén Blades

Rubén Blades Bellido de Luna (Spanish pronunciation: [ruˈβen ˈbleðz]; born July 16, 1948) professionally known as Rubén Blades is a Panamanian salsa singer, songwriter, actor, Latin jazz musician, and activist, performing musically most often in the Afro-Cuban and Latin jazz genres. As songwriter, Blades brought the lyrical sophistication of Central American nueva canción and Cuban nueva trova as well as experimental tempos and politically inspired Nuyorican salsa to his music, creating thinking persons' (salsa) dance music. Blades has composed dozens of musical hits, the most famous of which is "Pedro Navaja," a song about a neighborhood thug who appears to die during a robbery (his song "Sorpresas" continues the story), inspired by "Mack the Knife."

Hay ojos de miles miradas
Cristales que observan al mundo pasar
Ojos que encuentran fortuna
Mirando a la luna y a su resplandor

Hay ojos que emanan ternura
Y hay ojos de inmenso dolor
Ojos que en noches oscuras
Viven de amarguras y desolación

Pero hay ojos que saben reír
Hay ojos de eterno fulgor
Ojos que ven en las flores
De multicolores
La gracia de Dios

Ojos

De jóvenes y viejos
En todos laos' del mundo
De todos los colores
De rey o vagabundo

Ojos que ríen, ojos que lloran
Ojos que piden, ojos que imploran
Ojos que están llenos de esperanza
Dando gritos de hasta cuándo

Que dicen la calle está dura
Ojos del pobre esperando
Ojos de aquel que se aleja y espera su libertad
De América Latina, ojos llenos de verdad

Ojos

Siguiendo los pollos en las esquinas
O mirando papeles en la oficina
Ojos dichosos, como el ojo 'e la vecina

Como los del ciego que miran más por dentro
Ojos de papisos en entierros llenos de sentimiento
Aeh, aeh, yo vine pa' mira'
Aeh, aeh, yo vine aquí pa' ve'

Ojos

Ojos que preguntan, ojos que responden
Ojos desconfiados, ojos bonachones
Ojos 'e policías, ojos de ladrones
Ojos de señoras y ojos de señores

Son los ojos de mis pueblos
Viendo como echar pa'lante
Esos ojos de estudiantes, que el cielo los bendiga
Y el futuro 'e nuestra raza y de América Latina
