Morena
Juan Caoile Lyrics

Tagal kong hinanap ang tulad mo
I've been searching for someone like you for a long time

Ikaw ang papawi sa uhaw ko
You are the one who can quench my thirst

Ikaw lang nag-marka sa mga nagdaan
Only you have left a mark in my past

At lahat ng iba ay burado
And everyone else has been erased

Tumingin ka sa mga mata ko
Look into my eyes

Ng malaman kung anong totoo
To know what is real

Hindi mo man kasing puti ang ulap
Your skin may not be as white as the clouds

Ngunit ang isla na 'to ay kasing ganda mo
But this island is as beautiful as you

Ramdam ko ang init kahit 'di ka naka bikini
I feel the heat even when you're not wearing a bikini

Tunaw na ako hindi ka pa man tumititig
I'm already melting even though you haven't looked at me yet

Nakakapipe walang sinabi sa 'yo
You leave me speechless

Ibang babae kahit na simple ka lang binibini
Other women pale in comparison even though you're just simple, my lady

Bigyan mo sana ko ng pagkakataon
Please give me a chance

Na tayo'y magpainit sa harap ng bonfire
To warm ourselves up in front of a bonfire

Pagmasdan natin ang langit whole night
And gaze at the sky the whole night

Habang nakikinig ng music na lo-fi
While listening to lo-fi music

Nasa puso't isip
In my heart and mind

Pati sa panaginip
Even in my dreams

At itong awitin ay ang aking pag-amin
And this song is my confession

Sa binibining marikit
To the lady who is lovely

Sa kutis mong kayumanggi
With your brown skin

At matamis mong mga ngiti
And your sweet smile

Ako ay nabighani
I am captivated

Ang daming 'di pa
So many of them have not yet

Nakikitang dalagitang nakamamangha
Seen an amazing woman

At dahil iba pinakita mong karisma
And because you showed a different charisma

Ikaw sa kanila gandang morena
You are the beautiful morena among them

Please lang ika'y umuwi na
Please go home

Oh oh oh aking morena
Oh, oh, oh my morena

Tunay mo 'kong nahalina
You truly captivate me

Gandang morena
Beautiful morena

'Pag nasilayan talagang hahangaan
When seen, truly admirable

Tila ba si Gloria Diaz nung kanyang kabataan
As if Gloria Diaz in her youth

Matalinong mabait at merong pinaglalaban
Intelligent, kind, and with something to fight for

Kaya 'di lang panglabas ang kanyang kagandahan
So her beauty is not only external

Tanong bakit pa ba ako lalayo
Why should I go far

Kung lahat ng hinahanap mahahanap na sa'yo
If everything I need can be found in you

Bibihirang makakita ng isang pilipinang
It's rare to see a Filipina

May taglay ng iyong katangiang pambihira
Who possesses your extraordinary qualities

'Di ko maitatanggi ika'y natatangi ('di ko)
I can't deny that you're exceptional

Iba ang dating ng gandang kayumanggi (kayumanggi)
There's a unique charm to your brown beauty (brown beauty)

Pagmalaki ang kulay ng iyong balat
Your skin color should be celebrated

'Pagkat sa gandang mong angkin giliw
Because of the beauty you possess, my dear

Daig silang lahat (daig silang lahat)
You're better than them all

Nasa puso't isip (nasa puso't isip)
In my heart and mind (in my heart and mind)

At itong awitin ay ang aking pag amin
And this song is my confession

Ako'y nabighani
I am captivated

Mainit na panahon
It's a hot season

Dagdagan mo pa ng ganda mo
Add the beauty you possess to it

Talagang mapapalingon lahat ng mga ginoo
Truly, all the gentlemen will take a second look

Kutis ng balat ay pambihira (pambihira)
Skin as unique as yours (as unique as yours)

Ibang-iba ka sa lahat
You're different from everyone

Sa 'yong katangiang masarap na tignan
With your qualities that are great to look at

Salamat kay bathala
Thanks to the supreme being

Sa napakagandang likha nya
For creating something very beautiful

Kutis ng balat ay perpekto
Your skin is flawless

'Di na kailangan ng iba't ibang effect 'to
It doesn't need any other effects

Isang ngiti mo lamang ay sakto na
Just one smile from you is enough

Sa puso ko walang halong panloloko
In my heart there's no deceit

Gustong kong ipagmalaki ka
I want to brag about you

Buhay ko ikaw ang nagpinta
You are the one who painted my life

Kaya 'wag mo nang ikahiya
So don't be ashamed

'Yong nakatagong ganda
Of your hidden beauty

Na parang yamashita
That's like Yamashita's treasure

Ikaw walang iba gandang morena
You are the stunning morena, no one else
