La morena
Miguel Moly Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yo estuve muy enamorado
de una morena bonita (bis)
Tenía una cinturita
de fuego para el amor (bis)

Y ahora les cuento a todos
que tengo una guapetona (bis)
Que cada vez que ella baila

se pone más sabrosona
la gente lo que le mira
son esas ricas piernonas

Piernona p'aquí (wepa)
piernona pa'lla (wepa)
Piernona pa'lante (wepa)
piernona pa'trás (ay)
(bis)
Esa piernona mi nene

sí me tiene enamora'o
(bis)
