Morena [English translation]

I was born white.

From walking, galant,

I’ve lost my colour.

Calls me brown girl.

If he calls me again

I’ll go with him.

The sailors

Call me brown girl.

If they call me again

I’ll go with them.

Will you tell me I’m galant

If you want to come?

I’ve got big pretexts,

I can’t come.

They call me brown girl,

I was born white.

From walking, galant,

I’ve lost my colour.
