Morena, menina linda [English translation]

Today, I came here only to see you

Beautiful morena, with amber-coloured skin

Your eyes as dark as the deep night

Your hair loose, dancing in the air

Today you're dressed with the colour of the moon

Girl, star in the sky, you've got the sun in your necklace

And in your face, a pure smile:

Sure steps to discovering the world in you

Morena, I came here to bring you to your youth

Girl, I came here to make you understand

That life plots its own plan

Give me your hand, come to live

Woman, in the altitude of the 21 years of your life

I sense your thirst for freeing yourself

Morena, I came here to make of you a child again

Girl, I came here to let you toy carefree

Today, the day has dawned in so great sadness

morena, today I'm leaving, my heart in grief

Girl, I feel such a pang in the heart

Seeing our love to be broken this way

Today you're dressed with the colour of the wind

Warm skinned girl, you've got in your eyes

A grey-coloured sky, and in your singing is

the lament, that lulles your weep

I came here to let you ponder about

Morena, I came to show you

that your certainties may be wrong

Give me your hand, morena, come to love me

Girl, I came here only to say that I want you

Morena, I came here to make you dream

Morena, lass, I came to tell you "I love you"

Girl. I came here to make you a woman*
