by Ernesto de Souza (1864 - 1928)

A morena
Language: Portuguese (Português) 
Morena, Morena
Dos negros cabelos
Tu és meus encantos
Tu és meus desvelos
Bem sabes que és bela
Qual não há ninguém,
Por isso desdenhas
De quem te quer bem

Morena, Morena
Dos negros cabelos
Tu és meus encantos
Tu és meus desvelos.
Morena não sejas,
Assim tão vaidosa
Tem pena da gente,
Morena formosa.
 
Morena, Morena
Dos negros cabelos
Tu és meus encantos
Tu és meus desvelos.
Se falas, eu ouço
Baladas de amor,
Dos anjos escuto
Da pressa o rumor.

Morena, Morena
Dos negros cabelos
Tu és meus encantos
Tu és meus desvelos.
Morena, morena
Dos olhos castanhos
Quem te deu, morena
De encantos tamanhos
 
Morena, Morena
Dos negros cabelos
Tu és meus encantos
Tu és meus desvelos.
Encantos tamanhos
Assim nunca vi
Morena, morena
Tem pena de mim
