| “Morenika” a mi me yaman | I am called the little brown one, |
| Yo blanka nací | But I was born fair |
| Y del sol del verano | And it is the summer sun |
| Yo m’hize ansí. | That made me thus. |
| Morenika, grasiyoza sos, | Little brown one, you are graceful |
| Tu morena i yo grasiyozo | You are dark, and I am a fool, |
| I ojos pretos tú. | And your eyes are dark |
| “Morenika” a mi me yaman, | They call me the little brown one |
| Los marineros | The sailors do. |
| Si otra vez a mi me yaman, | If they call me again |
| Me vo kun elyos. | I will go with them. |
| “Morenika” a mi yama, | He calls me the little brown one, |
| El ijo del Rey | The King’s son. |
| Si otra vez a mi me yama | If he calls me again, |
| Me vo yo kun él. | I will go with him |
