Morenita Mia
Rigo Tovar Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Conocí a una linda morenita
Y la quise mucho
Por las tardes iba enamorado
Cariñoso a verla

Y al contemplar
Ay, sus ojos
Mi pasión crecía

Ay, morena
Morenita mía
No te olvidaré

Hay un amor muy grande que existe
Entre los dos (entre los dos)
Ilusiones blancas y rosas
Como una flor (como una flor)

Un cariño y un corazón
Que siente y que ama
Si no me olvidas
Siempre felices
Seremos los dos

Yo le dije que de ella tan solo
Estaba enamorado
Que sus ojos como dos luceros
Me habían fascinado

Que cuando más
Pienso en ella
Mucho más la quiero

Ay, morena
Morenita mía
No te olvidaré

Hay un amor
Muy grande que existe
Entre los dos (entre los dos)
Ilusiones blancas y rosas
Como una flor (como una flor)

Un cariño y un corazón
Que siente y que ama
Si no me olvidas
Siempre felices
Seremos los dos

Si no me olvidas




Siempre felices
Seremos los dos
