Vem morena pros meus braços
Come, brown girl, into my arms
Vem morena, vem dançar
Come, brown girl, come dance
Quero ver tu requebrando
I want to see you shaking it
Quero ver tu requebrar
I want to see you sway
Quero ver tu remecher
I want to see you move
No resfulêgo da sanfona até o sol raiar
In the breath of the accordion until the sun rises
Quero ver tu remecher
I want to see you move
No resfulêgo da sanfona até o sol raiar
In the breath of the accordion until the sun rises
Esse teu fungado quente
That warm sigh of yours
Bem no pé do meu pescoço
Right at the nape of my neck
Arrepia o corpo da gente, faz o veio fica moço
It thrills our bodies, makes the veins feel young,
E o coração de repente bate forte em alvoroço
And suddenly the heart beats strong in a flutter.
Vem morena pros meus braços
Come, dark beauty, into my arms,
Vem morena, vem dançar
Come, dark beauty, come dance,
Quero ver tu requebrando
I want to see you shaking it,
Quero ver tu requebrar
I want to see you shake it,
Quero ver tu remecher
I want to see you move,
No resfulêgo da sanfona até o sol raiar
In the breath of the accordion till the sun rises,
Quero ver tu remecher
I want to see you move,
No resfulêgo da sanfona até o sol raiar
In the breath of the accordion till the sun rises.
Esse teu suor salgado
That salty sweat of yours
É gostoso e tem sabor
Is delightful and full of flavor
Pois o teu corpo suado tem o cheiro de fulô
For your sweaty body has the scent of a flower
Tem o gosto temperado dos tempero do amor
It has the seasoned taste of love's spices
Vem morena pros meus braços
Come, brown girl, into my arms
Vem morena, vem dançar
Come, brown girl, come dance
Quero ver tu requebrando
I want to see you swaying
Quero ver tu requebrar
I want to see you shake it
Vem morena
Come, brown girl
Vem morena iê
Come, brown girl, yeah
Vem morena ouou
Come here, brown girl, oh-oh
Vem morena e
Come here, brown girl, and
Eu quero ver tu requebrando
I want to see you dancing
Quero ver tu requebrar
I want to see you shake it
Quero ver tu remecher
I want to see you move
No resfulêgo da sanfona até o sol raiar
In the sway of the accordion until the sun rises
Quero ver tu remecher
I want to see you move
No resfulêgo da guitarra até o sol raiar
In the sway of the guitar until the sun rises
Vem morena
Come here, brown girl
Vem morena ouou
Come here, brown girl, oh-oh
Vem morena iê
Come here, brunette, yeah
Vem morena
Come here, brunette
Olha ai pessoal da forróteria
Look, everyone from the forró place
A morena agora fica com vocês
Now the brunette is with you all
Olho no lance, olho no lance
Eyes on the move, eyes on the move
