The young woman says she was born with white skin, but that her skin turned dark in the sun. She says she is beautiful and that she is waiting for the prince to come and get her.
lyrics
Morena me yaman,
Yo blanka nasí.
De pasear, galana,
Mi kolor pedrí.
Vistido de vedre
I de altalí,
Kinze días la novia,
Kon el chelibí.
Eskalerika le izo,
De oro i de marfil,
Para ke suva el novio,
A dar kidushín.
Dízime galana
Si keres vinir.
Los velos tengo fuertes,
No puedo vinir.
Morena me yama
El ijo del rey.
Si otra vez me yama,
Me vo yo kon él.
Morena me yaman...
