Lyrics of Morenita - Cafe Quijano

Morenita (original)

Morenita no te escondas, no te escondas
Que la gente sepa que eres preciosa
Que las flores te reclaman junto a ellas
Morenita eres linda, eres bella
Morenita que me matas, que me muero
Que en la calle no te veo, no te veo;
Los vestidos que te pones de colores
Son dibujos de tu cuerpo, morenita
Dile a mami, morenita
Que afuera un hombre te espera
Dile a mami, morenita
Que ya eres mujer
Los collares y las perlas de mi abuela
Te regalo con su consentimiento
Pues me dijo que eran tuyas, morenita
Por que tu eres la perla de mi vida
A la puerta de tu casa yo te espero
Tengo el resto de mis años para ti
Sal de mis brazos, morenita, yo te quiero;
Ven mi niña con la flores de mi jardín
Dile a mami, morenita
Que afuera un hombre te espera
Dile a mami, morenita
Que ya eres mujer

(translation)

Brunette, don't hide, don't hide
Let people know that you are beautiful
That the flowers claim you with them
Brunette you are cute, you are beautiful
Brunette you kill me, I'm dying
I don't see you on the street, I don't see you;
The colored dresses you wear
They are drawings of your body, brunette
tell mommy, brunette
That outside a man awaits you
tell mommy, brunette
that you are already a woman
My grandmother's necklaces and pearls
I give you with your consent
Well, she told me they were yours, brunette
Because you are the pearl of my life
At the door of your house I wait for you
I have the rest of my years for you
Get out of my arms, brunette, I love you;
Come my girl with the flowers of my garden
tell mommy, brunette
That outside a man awaits you
tell mommy, brunette
that you are already a woman
