El morenito
Language: Spanish (Español)
Morenito de mi corazón,
Eres un niño engañador.
Cuando dices que me quieres
Lo dices no es verdad.
Mas el beso de Morenito
Es ardiente, mas caliente,
Es engaño, mas que bonito, ¡Ay! que bonito,
Morenito de mi corazón.
El tormento de mi vida
Que no puedo abandonar.
Aunque yo soy su querida
Que tiene el fuego de amor.
Al diablo todo ese amor
Que no es más que engañador!
¡Quiá! pero cuando el Morenito
Con su beso fascinador
Me revuelve todo el ardor
De mi alma enamorada,
Es engaño, mas que bonito, ¡Ay! que bonito,
Morenito de mi corazón.

The dark‑eyed man
Language: English after the Spanish (Español)
Morenito of my heart,
You are a deceiving boy.
When you tell me you love me
What you say is not true.
But the kiss of Morenito
Is passionate, but hot,
It is a ruse, but how handsome,
Morenito of my heart.
The torment of my life
Who I cannot leave.
Even though I am his dear one
Who has the fire of love.
To hell with all of this love
That is nothing more than deception!
Never! but when Morenito
With his fascinating kiss
Gives back to me all of the ardor
Of my love-stricken soul,
It is a ruse, but how handsome,
Morenito of my heart.
