Aquellos ojos verdes
De mirada serena
Dejaron en mi alma
Eterna sed de amar
Anhelos y caricias
De besos y ternuras
De todas las dulzuras
Que sabían brindar

Aquellos ojos verdes
Serenos como un lago
En cuyas quietas aguas
Un día me miré

No saben las tristezas
Que en mi alma han dejado
Aquellos ojos verdes
Que yo nunca besaré...

Nat “King” Cole

Nathaniel Adams Coles (17 March 1919 – 15 February 1965) was born in Montgomery, Alabama and used the stage name Nat “King” Cole throughout his career as a jazz pianist and later as a singer.

Cole’s first mainstream hit was “Straighten Up and Fly Right” in 1943. Bo Diddley, who performed similar folk-based material said that song was a big influence on him.

In the late 40s, Cole began recording more pop-oriented material. His stature as a pop singer was cemented by hits like “Route 66”, “Mona Lisa” and “Unforgettable”. In the 50s, virtually every home had a copy of his Christmas album.
