Morena
Pa'ella Virgen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A esos ojos yo peligro
De perderme para siempre
A un mundo virgen indiferente
No me pongas mas barreras
Igual el tren ya me atropella
Mucha aduana en la frontera
Trafico solo una doncella.
Ay morena, sos tan dulce
Estas tan buena
Me haces siempre reina,
Lleva la miel a mi colmena.
Ay morena, cada cruz es un poema,
El ragamufin de este tema
Es mi corazon que suena
Esta es la rumba que no es rumba
Que no es salsa que no es cumbia
Es el ritmo que me late
Rienda suelta este disparate
Parece represion infinita
La religi
ón que nos limita
Yo prefiero tus caricias
Y la piel que me palpita
The lyrics in Pa'ella Virgen's song "Morena" speak to the singer's infatuation with a woman, who he finds irresistible due to the danger she poses to him, as well as her apparent indifference to the world around her. He is willing to risk losing himself forever for a chance with her, and sees the many barriers in their way - such as the restrictions imposed by religion - as mere hindrances to be overcome. In fact, he likens himself to a ragamuffin in this wild, passionate love affair.
The lyrics are full of imagery and metaphors. The singer talks about how the woman he loves is like sweet honey to his life, and how each obstacle in their way is like a poetic challenge. He also comments on the fact that their relationship defies categorization - it is not quite a rumba or a cumbia or a salsa, but a unique rhythm that he feels in his heart.
