"Morena" me llaman,  
yo blanco nací,  

"Morena" me llaman,  
yo blanco nací.  

De pasear, galana,  
mi color perdí,  

De pasear, galana,  
mi color yo perdí.  

De aquellas ventanicas  
m'arronjan flechas,  

D'aquellas ventanicas  
m'arronjan flechas;  

Si son de amores,  
vengan, vengan derechas,  

Si son de amores,  
 vengan derechas!
