Yes John, I also think 'Blue Spanish Eyes' does mean sad. Even lyrics like 'Tear drops are falling from your Spanish eyes' sound like something sad. However among Hispanics people world there is a dispute about it. The Spanish version has nothing to do with the English original lyrics, is totally different, and 'blue' is assumed as the character's eyes colour.
That happened because English lyrics were difficult to translate to Spanish with a meaningful metric and rhyme to the Hispanic audience. Which ultimately were the main factor for artist producers in that time, to get a successful hit song. Interesting.
