And so my love,
From my window I can see
A beautiful vision,
And when the music plays,
Your body rises like a bird of grace.
Mi morena1,
I saw you dancing in the rain,
Holy water,
Shining like a silver flame,
Come like a ghost,
I will watch you dance alone,
Mi morena,
You’re the light within my soul.
And so my love,
The way you’re moving in your dress
To a nylon guitar,
On wings of silk and lace
You lift upon the notes and slip away…
Mi morena,
I saw you dancing in the rain,
Holy water,
Shining like a silver flame,
Come like a ghost,
I will watch you dance alone,
Mi morena,
You’re the light within my soul.
Take this cross of feathers and bone,
Take this heart I’ve carved in stone
In your name.
Where the setting sun
Surrenders to the moon,
Mi querida,
I wait for you…
Mi morena,
I saw you dancing in the rain,
Holy water,
Shining like a silver flame,
Come like a ghost,
I will watch you dance alone,
Mi morena,
You’re the light within my soul.
Mi morena,
Hold your hands out to the night,
Be my lover,
I will fall into your eyes.
Sweet fire of love,
For you I’d steal the stars,
‘Cause I adore you,
O my morena!..
