La morena
Los Cojolites Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mujer que robas pasion
Que cambiaste mi destino
Anda dime la razon
De cruzarte en mi camino

Mi morena mi morena
Adios mi morena adios
Y vuelvo a decir a dios
Y vuelvo a decir a dios

Eres mujer que parece-
Tienes tantos atractivos
Como ya no puedo amarte
Ni tampoco ser tu amigo
Ni tampoco ser tu amigo
Me conformo con mirarte

En esta noche serena
Mi cantar es para ti
En esta noche serena
Mi cantar es para ti
Para decirte morena
Que te amo con frenesi
Para decirte morena
Que te amo con frenesi

Adios morena y adios adios
Hay mi morena adios
Y vuelvo a decir morena
Y vuelvo a decir morena

Cada vez que paso y veo donde vivia
Veraz como siente feo alla por alma mia
Veraz como siente feo alla por alma mia
Cada vez que paso y veo donde vivia

Anda ingrata que algun dia
Se secaran tus corrientes
Anda ingrata que algun dia
Se secaran tus corrientes
Y bajaras a la mias
Que son de agua permanente
Y bajaras a la mias
Que son de agua permanente

Mi morena mi morena
Adio adios mi morena adios
Y vuelvo a decir morena
Y vuelvo a decir a dios

El viento quiere peinar
Lo negro de tus cabellos
Pero yo voy a luchar
Hasta quedarme con ellos




Hasta quedarme con ellos
Y no dejarte de amar

Overall Meaning

The song "La morena" by Los Cojolites is a passionate piece about a woman who has stolen the singer's heart and changed his destiny. The lyrics describe the singer's fascination for this "morena" (brunette), who has so many attractive qualities that he can no longer simply be her friend. He adores her with fervor but knows that their relationship must end.


The first verse asks the woman why she crossed his path and changed his fate. He is in awe of her and cannot resist her charm. The second verse describes the singer's emotions as he realizes that he can no longer love her or be her friend, he has to make do with just looking at her. The chorus repeats the phrase "adios mi morena" (goodbye my brunette) multiple times, indicating a sense of finality and sadness.


The third verse talks about how every time the singer passes by where the woman once lived, it reminds him of the pain he felt for losing her. This is followed by the singer's warning to the woman that someday, her streams will dry up, forcing her to come down to his "permanent waters." The final verse describes the singer's determination to keep fighting for the woman he loves, even if it means fighting against the wind that tries to take her away from him.


Overall, "La morena" is a song that beautifully captures the emotions of love, passion, and heartbreak. Its poetic lyrics, coupled with traditional Mexican Son Jarocho musical style, make it a timeless piece.
