Serenata gitana
Language: Spanish (Español) 
Ay, morena del alma,  
tus besos me han robado la calma!  

Tú me dices que te olvide,  
como puedo yo olvidarte  
si en mi mente nunca ceso de besarte!  
Ay, morena!  

Son tus labios la fuente  
que puede apagar mi sed ardiente,  
pero a ti no te da pena  
hoy me niegas esa fuente  
sin tus besos yo me volveré demente!  
Ay!  

Y tus ojos son las estrellas  
que alumbran el sendero de mi vida.  
Si tu cierras los ojos, las estrellas no brillan  
y me encuentro perdido mi alma  
pues sin sus reflejos obscura es la vida!  

Abre tus ojos, mi alma,  
bésame, alma querida!  
Tú puedes darme la calma,  
tú puedes darme la vida.  
Tod la dicha del mundo  
está en tus besos, mi vida.  
Ah, ah!  

No me niegues esos labios,  
no me niegues tus caricias,  
morenita de mi vida!
