Morena me llaman
Language: Spanish (Español)
"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!

They call me Black
Language: English after the Spanish (Español)
They call me Black
I was born white
They call me Black
I was born white.
Nobly walking around
I lost my colour
Nobly walking around
I lost my colour
From those little windows
they threw me arrows
From those little windows
they threw me arrows
If they are of love
I accept them,
If they are of love
I accept them!
