Morena
Simone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Morena ia sair
E passear suas curvas
Por aí, por aí
Ia correr a cidade
Com seu sapato vermelho
A sua bolsa de pano
Morena, a sua pintura seria
Feita pra denunciar
Que Morena só queria
Amar, amar e amar
Ia lançar pelas ruas
O seu olhar de paixão
De quem garante alegria
A quem garante o seu pão
Mas não...
As poças vão logo formando um rio
O quarto se afoga num vazio
E a vida não tem jeito não
Mas não...
As poças vão logo formando um rio, Morena
O quarto ficando frio, Morena
E a vida sem solução
As poças vão logo formando um rio, Morena
O quarto ficando frio, Morena
E a vida sem solução
The lyrics of Simone's song "Morena" depict a woman who is constrained by the circumstances of her life. The song suggests that on a day when the weather is good, Morena would have gone outside to explore the city and show off her curves. She would have walked around with her red shoes and her cloth bag containing her clothing, some spare change, and a mirror. Morena's appearance would have been made to announce that she only wanted love. She would have launched her look of passion onto the streets to whom they could provide her with joy and bread at the same time.
However, as the lyrics indicate, the weather is bad, and the rain has kept her indoors. Morena is disappointed because her life seems to be filled with potholes and darkness, and there seems to be no solution. The lyrics imply that Morena is stuck in a life of poverty and unfulfilled dreams, which has left her without any hope for the future.
The song's message is one of frustration and longing for change. The lyrics of "Morena" suggest that despite Morena's desire to live a better life, she is powerless to change her situation. The song is a reflection of the poverty and despair that many people in Brazil and other parts of the world experience. It is a powerful reminder that there is much work to be done to address these issues.

Se o dia não fosse de chuva
If the day wasn't rainy
Morena ia sair
Morena would go out
E passear suas curvas
And show off her curves
Por aí, por aí
Here and there
Ia correr a cidade
She would run through the city
Com seu sapato vermelho
With her red shoes
A sua bolsa de pano
Her cloth bag
Com roupa, troco e um espelho
Containing clothes, change, and a mirror
Morena, a sua pintura seria
Morena, her painting would be
Feita pra denunciar
Made to reveal
Que Morena só queria
That Morena only wanted
Amar, amar e amar
To love, love, and love
Ia lançar pelas ruas
She would throw through the streets
O seu olhar de paixão
Her gaze of passion
De quem garante alegria
From who guarantees joy
A quem garante o seu pão
To who guarantees her bread
Mas não...
But no...
As poças vão logo formando um rio
The puddles soon turn into a river
O quarto se afoga num vazio
The room drowns in an emptiness
E a vida não tem jeito não
And life has no solution
As poças vão logo formando um rio, Morena
The puddles soon turn into a river, Morena
O quarto ficando frio, Morena
The room getting colder, Morena
E a vida sem solução
And life without a solution
