La Morena

Ya se va la morena

She's leaving, the dark-skinned girl

No la dejes ir porque lleva penas (x2)

Don't let her go because she carries sorrows (x2)

Ella va llorando, ella va llorando

She goes crying, she goes crying

No la dejes ir porque lleva penas

Don't let her go because she carries sorrows

No la dejo ir , no la dejo ir

I won't let her go, I won't let her go

Porque si se marcha sería mi condena

Because if she leaves, it would be my condemnation

Ya se va la morena...

She's leaving, the dark-skinned girl...

Muy triste me dijo un día que me tenía que abandonar

Very sadly, she told me one day that she had to leave

Porque mi comportamiento no lo podía ya tolerar

Because she could no longer tolerate my behavior

Muy triste me dijo un día que me tenía que abandonar

Very sadly, she told me one day that she had to leave

Seguro se encontraría a otro ser a quien amar

Surely she would find another being to love

Ya se va la morena

She's leaving, the dark-skinned girl

No la dejes ir porque lleva penas (x2)

Don't let her go because she carries sorrows (x2)
