Oyeme caramba porque estoy enamorao. (bis)
Morenita ya dejate de esas cosas;
Oyeme mi vida que eso por mi no ha pasao. (bis)
Morenita ves que no hay como nosotros eh;
Morenita ves que no hay como nosotros (coro). (bis)
Dejame, dejame gozar mi tiempo;
Morenita y asi me tienes contento;
Oyeme caramba sin tenerme que celar (bis)
Morenita ves que no hay como nosotros eh;
Morenita ves que no hay como nosotros (coro). (bis)
Morenita ves que no hay como nosotros eh;
Morenita ves que no hay como nosotros (coro). (bis)
Ella me, ella mando un pañuelo;
Oyeme mi vida y en cada esquina un botón (bis)
Morenita dime si ha sido manchado;
Oyeme caramba con sangre del corazon. (bis)
Morenita ves que no hay como nosotros eh;
Morenita ves que no hay como nosotros (coro). (bis)
The song "Oye Morenita" by Nelson Henriquez depicts the struggles of a man who is in love with a woman who is somewhat jealous and possessive. He tries to convince her that there is no need to be jealous as he is only in love with her. He tells her that he wants to enjoy his time without feeling guilty or judged by her. He acknowledges that she sent him a handkerchief with buttons attached to each corner, which may symbolize her love for him, but he asks her if it was stained with the blood of her heart. In other words, he questions if her love for him is pure and genuine.
Overall, the song showcases the complexities of love and relationships. It portrays the insecurities, jealousy, and doubts that can surface in a relationship, but it also highlights the joy and happiness that love can bring. The chorus emphasizes their unique love, and the repetition highlights the fact that there is no love like theirs.
