Those green eyes of serene look
left in my soul eternal thirst to love
longings of caresses, of kisses and tenderness,
of all the sweetness which they knew to provide.
Those green eyes, calm like a lake
whose quiet waters I looked at myself one day
They doesn't know the sadness which
have left in my soul
Those green eyes which I will never kiss
(Nat King Cole)Lyrics

In the first sentence, it speaks about how is the look in her eyes. Can't we say "sad look" or "haunted look" or serene look", etc...?
ReplyDeleteI love your questions like this. They challenge me to look for a rational explanation of what sounds right and what doesn't. Certainly, "she had a sad look in her eyes" sounds good. Also, "he had a haunted look". I guess the expression "of ______ look" just didn't sound right, although the more I say it, the better it sounds :-). I'm pretty sure that there is no general rule here; it's just a matter of which combinations of words people tend to use.
ReplyDeleteIt's OK. Actually "de mirada serena" sounds a little out of fashion in Spanish. Anyway thanks for all.
