Mi Morena Lyrics
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
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
From my window I can see
A beautiful vision
And when the music plays
Your body rises like a bird of grace
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
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
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 heart I've carved in stone
In your name
Mi querida
I wait for you
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

One of my most favorite songs ever.... I feel honored to be the first commentator!! Alright, where do I begin!?
OK, en espanol, direct translation of "mi morena" is "my colored person".... I'm thinking, its in the context of, "you who bring color to my life"
Its beautiful... obviously a song about loving somebody to the moon and back, being so in awe of them... so pure... so perfect. My fav lines? " 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 "
All I have to say is "que dulce!!"
"Morena" translates to "dark one", and is used as an affectionate term among Spanish speakers, loosely translating to "dark-skinned one".
"Mi querida" means, "my love, my want, my belonging, my life" - all in one. It's a sacred name for one's wife, only used when she is held in the highest esteem, admiration, and love.
This song does something to me....
Wow, thank you all so much for clarifying the meaning of "Mi Morena" for which I've been looking a long time. This is my favourite Josh Groban song.
"...Take this heart I've carved in stone In your name..."
And I also have the translation of "Alejade", is this song in spanish?!
Well, this song has a lot of meaning for me, because a few of my friends would call me "morena," because I have very dark hair. The other reason I love the song is because I am a ballet dancer, and I used to, and still do at times, dance in the rain sometimes at night in the garden when no one's looking. The stars and the garden lights are phenomenal...and the smell of the flowers! Ahhhh
But...to be specific about the term morena: it can be used for a few meanings actually. One certainly means "dark" as in anything like skin, hair, eyes, etc. But...the other is more of a mystical meaning and is used in Mexico when referring to the Virgin Mary. (La Virgen Morena) (The Dark Virgin) There is a large feast of food and dancing surrounding La Virgen Morena. I feel that in this song in particular, especially because of the words, "Take this cross of feathers and bone..." that the word "morena" is playing off of this mystical meaning and that it is therefore being used as an idiomatic expresion, meaning, "my virgin."
