MORENA Lyrics in English Luan Santana

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song MORENA by Luan Santana from Portuguese to English.
Verse 1
You could've gone easier on the kiss
You should've taken it slow when it was time to love
You could've said no instead of I accept
Maybe our story wouldn't be where it's at
What did I give you?
Everything, everything I had to give
And what good did it do?
Nothing, you just wanted to play
If I can't fall asleep
It's not caffeine
It's the brunette's fault
From the brunette's kiss
If I strike out at the club
It wasn't for lack of a plan
It's the brunette's fault
From the brunette's kiss
Tell me what can I do
If she steals the scene?
Even lying in the blonde's lap
I think of the brunette
Verse 2
I stopped at the exact second
Your fake lips touched mine
Verse 2
Whenever someone asked me
I'd say: I feel nothing!
Love evaporated, died
Even knowing my chances
Are practically zero
My heart still looks for you
There I go lying in my bed
Turning to the other side and forgetting, I didn't forget
I can't fall asleep
It's not caffeine
It's the brunette's fault
From the brunette's kiss
If I strike out at the club
It wasn't for lack of a plan
It's the brunette's fault
The brunette's kiss
What did I give you?
Everything, everything I had to give
And what good did it do?
Nothing, you just wanted to play
If I can't fall asleep
It's not caffeine
It's the brunette's fault
It's the brunette's fault
If I can't fall asleep
It's not caffeine
It's the brunette's fault
From the brunette's kiss
If I strike out at the club
It wasn't for lack of a plan
It's the brunette's fault
From the brunette's kiss
Tell me what can I do
If she steals the scene?
Even lying in the blonde's lap
I think of the brunette
Tell me what can I do
If she steals the scene?
Even lying in the blonde's lap
I think of the brunette

SONG MEANING

MORENA is a lively sertanejo-pop confession where the singer can’t shake the lingering taste of a single irresistible kiss. He gave “everything” to this mysterious dark-haired beauty, only to discover she was just playing around. Now he blames every sleepless night, every failed flirt on the memory of her lips. The chorus turns his insomnia and party-life misfires into a catchy chant: “It’s the morena’s fault!”

Beneath the upbeat rhythm lies a tug-of-war between pride and obsession. He tries to convince himself the love has “evaporated,” yet even when he’s resting on another girl’s lap, his mind flashes back to the morena who “steals the scene.” Luan Santana wraps this bittersweet heartache in an infectious melody, capturing that universal moment when one unforgettable kiss makes it impossible to move on, no matter how loud the dance floor gets.
