“Ojos Color Sol” is a playful love poem that turns the entire universe upside-down just to show how dazzling one person’s gaze can be. Calle 13 and legendary Cuban songwriter Silvio Rodríguez imagine a morning so bright that the actual sun hides in embarrassment, handing its paintbrush over to the lover’s eyes. Those eyes become tiny suns that feed the singer with “vitamina D,” color the mountains on the lakes, and spark fruit on every tree. In this world lit by love, constellations get shy, beauty “smells like morning,” and the simple act of waking up rewrites the laws of nature.
The song’s second wave of imagery goes full dream-logic to prove that affection can redraw reality. Wars turn into kisses, bankers build houses, and animals switch voices—cows cluck while chickens moo—because joy no longer depends on taking from others. Love fills bellies with butterflies, rains flowers onto deserts, and lets humanity finally dream while awake. It is an exuberant celebration of how one radiant soul can start a chain reaction of kindness, creativity, and wonder, thanking those sun-colored eyes for teaching the world a brighter way to spin.

Their thought-provoking songs and activism, especially concerning Puerto Rican independence, have earned them critical acclaim and multiple Latin Grammy Awards, solidifying their influence in Latin music and beyond.
