At its core, ‘POR ESOS OJOS’ (For Those Eyes) tells the story of a man who has drastically transformed his life—rising from poverty to a world of luxury, power, and danger—all driven by his love for a woman. Her eyes are the central symbol in the lyrics, representing his motivation, obsession, and emotional vulnerability. He even confesses he would “steal and kill” for them, an exaggerated but powerful expression of how deeply consumed he is by his feelings.
The lyrics reflect his journey from humble beginnings to a lavish but violent lifestyle. Even though he now wears diamonds and enjoys status, he admits that none of it truly fulfills him. Despite the fame, money, and recognition, the only thing that gives him a real sense of purpose is his love for her.
There’s a striking mix of vulnerability and bravado throughout the song. He’s willing to risk everything—even embracing the identity of a malandro (a gangster or outlaw)—just to be with her.
The song captures a deep, obsessive love, woven with themes of masculinity, loyalty, and the emotional cost of success. It’s raw, emotional, and very much in line with Fuerza Regida’s signature style—blending regional urban sounds with stories of love, struggle, and street life.
‘Por Esos Ojos’ English Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I know I’m not the same And there’s a chain with diamonds on my neck I saved myself from poverty Crazy, but deeply in love You can tell I’m living life to the fullest Blessed by my mother
[Chorus]
For those eyes, I’d steal and kill For the haters, I carry protection Girl, don’t tell me no ‘Cause tonight I’m making love to you For those eyes, I turned into a hustler You, the hottest one—the envy of the club Girl, don’t tell me no ‘Cause tonight I’m making love to you
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
Hard life—luxury, fame, jewels, women I have it all, but nothing really fills me Money doesn’t mean a damn thing Ah, what a life I’m living And if I leave this world first I’ll watch over you from the sky No one will ever love you like I do
[Chorus]
For those eyes, I’d steal and kill For the haters, I carry protection Girl, don’t tell me no ‘Cause tonight I’m making love to you For those eyes, I turned into a hustler You, the hottest one—the envy of the club Girl, don’t tell me no ‘Cause tonight I’m making love to you
