美國歌壇女皇［瑪丹娜］──拉丁味流行抒情曲──［Pray for Spanish Eyes／向西班牙之眼祈禱］

I know for sure his heart is here with me

Though I wish him back, I know he cannot see

My hands trembling, I know he hears me sing

I light this candle and watch it throw

Tears on my pillow

And if there is a Christ, hell come tonight

To pray for Spanish eyes

And if I have nothing left to show

Tears on my pillow

What kind of life is this if God exists

Then help me pray for Spanish eyes

He had to fight like all the rest

In the barrio all the streets are paved with fear

I dont understand; at least he was a man

I light this candle and watch it throw

Tears on my pillow

And if there is a Christ, hell come tonight

To pray for Spanish eyes

And if I have nothing left to show

Tears on my pillow

What kind of life is this if God exists

Then help me pray for Spanish eyes

How many lives will they have to take?

How much heartache?

How many suns will they have to burn?

Spanish eyes

When will they ever learn?

You were not the Maravilla in our minds

We were proud to fight but we cannot win this blind

Stand your guns against the wall

Whos next in line to fall

I light this candle and watch it throw

Tears on my pillow

And if there is a Christ, hell come tonight

To pray for Spanish eyes

And if I have nothing left to show

Tears on my pillow

What kind of life is this if God exists

Then help me pray for Spanish eyes

Tus lagrimas de tristeza

No me dejan olvidarte

How many lives will they have to take?

How much heartache?

How many suns will they have to burn?

Spanish eyes

When will they ever learn?

１９８９年春天　３０歲半的美國歌壇女皇瑪丹娜（Madonna）發行第四張個人專輯［Like A Prayer／宛若禱者］（Sire／Warner Bros.）

由瑪丹娜與Patrick Leonard主製作（８曲）, 另有Stephen Bray， 王子（Prince）與娜姐製作其它三曲

獲得高度讚譽　被譽為是她事業最坦誠, 也是最出色的大碟。

全球大賣　至今銷售一千三百多萬張。

並推出數首經典名曲。

１９９０年,　唱片公司在西班牙推出宣傳用的７吋單曲［Pray for Spanish Eyes／向西班牙之眼祈禱］－－這是將專輯中的［Spanish Eyes］重新命名。

此曲由瑪丹娜與Patrick Leonard譜寫, 並製作成一首拉丁味的流行抒情曲

在西班牙吉他與意拖曳的搖擺節拍間, 娜姐時而呢喃, 時而類似哭訴的詮釋

由於只是宣傳曲,［Pray for Spanish Eyes］並沒入榜。

在［Like A Prayer／宛若禱者］大碟中, ［Spanish Eyes］是個人頗為喜愛的歌曲,

只可惜沒以正式單曲宣傳, 讓她成為廣為人知的名曲。
