"Green Eyes" is a popular song, originally written in Spanish under the title "Aquellos Ojos Verdes" ("Those Green Eyes") by Adolfo Utrera and Nilo Menéndez in 1929.
The song, a bolero, was written in 1929 and recorded in Cuba the same year.
It was the only major hit, both originally in Cuba and then again in the Latin community in New York for Cuban pianist Nilo Menéndez.
The lyrics were supplied by Cuban tenor Adolfo Utrera.
