Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Ojos Color Sol by Calle 13 from Spanish to English.

Verse 1

Today the sun hid and didn't want to come out

It saw you wake up and got scared of dying

You opened your eyes and the sun put away its paintbrush

Because you paint the landscape better than it does

When your beauty dawns

Any constellation gets insecure

Your beauty smells like morning

And it feeds me all week long

Your eyes do magic, they're magicians

You opened them, and now the mountains reflect in the lakes

The only absolute truth

Is that when you were born, fruit sprouted on the trees

Sweet orange, a planting of cherubs

Since the sun was afraid, it hid in a cloud

Today the sun isn't needed, it's on break

You give me vitamin D with a kiss

Chorus 1

The moon goes out to walk following your pupils

The night shines original after you look at it

Now nobody knows how to be happy at the cost of plunder

Thanks to you and your eyes

Verse 2

You're a verse in reverse, a riverso

You woke up and you turned my universe around

Now we reach the summit by going down the mountain range

Earth no longer spins; you spin the Earth

In wars they give kisses, they don't fight anymore

Today hens moo and cows cluck

Worms and fish catch the hooks

We fly over the sea and sail through the sky

Flowers grow in the sand, rain falls in the desert

Now dreams are real because you dream awake

And that dream is certain and that's how it reproduces

And innocence at last doesn't hide from the lights

The shortage of food turns delicious

Because our bellies are full of butterflies

The galaxy reveals its hidden territory

And on Earth it seems that life is starting

Chorus 2

The moon goes out to walk following your pupils

The night shines original after you look at it

Now nobody knows how to be happy at the cost of plunder

Thanks to you and your eyes

Outro

And in the military academy they teach medicine

And bankers will now build housing and food

Now nobody knows how to be happy at the cost of plunder

Thanks to you and your eyes

SONG MEANING

“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.
