Mi Morena
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 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
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, oh my morena*Mi Morena is sung mostly in English, in addition to Spanish.
