Morena Lyrics in English Mariana Nolasco , Vitor Kley

Home / Lyrics Translation / Mariana Nolasco / Morena

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Morena by Mariana Nolasco from Portuguese to English.

She laughed at my hair without even knowing me

I'm a smart guy, so I went right over to see

What was the deal with the brunette with the gorgeous smile and blue eyes

We started a crazy chat without even noticing

About exes, and maybe it's better not to say

I'm from the West Side, she's a girl from the South Side

Girl, woman, with an attitude that intimidates

Someone who knows what she wants, even if the weather changes

She's the sun, she's summer

She's a poem, a song that cheers my heart

Morena, I got enchanted by the way you look

I froze time just to remember

That scene where I took your skirt off and you kissed my mouth

I got enchanted by your way of looking

I froze time just to remember

That scene where I took your skirt off and you kissed my mouth

From then on the story started to get complicated

She left for Rio and took my necklace

She even sent me a photo swearing it wasn't on purpose

Me pretending to believe everything was fine

I know when she looks at it she'll want me like nobody else

Sly Morena, you don't fool me, I know it was on purpose

And even if it was, that's something good to remember

Of our romance when your chest starts to ache

You think of me, I'm thinking of you

It's hard to forget you

Morena, I got enchanted by the way you look

I froze time just to remember

That scene where I took your skirt off and you kissed my mouth

I got enchanted by your way of looking

I froze time just to remember

Of that scene where I took your skirt off and you

Morena, I got enchanted by the way you look

I froze time just to remember

That scene where I took your skirt off and you kissed my mouth

Morena

She laughed at my hair without even knowing me

SONG MEANING

Morena is a sun-kissed story of instant attraction. A cheeky laugh at the singer’s messy hair sparks a whirlwind conversation between two strangers from opposite sides of São Paulo. She is the confident girl from the upscale Zona Sul, he is the laid-back guy from the Zona Oeste, and together they radiate pure summer energy. In a blur of laughter, music, and blue-eyed smiles, they share an unforgettable night that feels like a living poem. The chorus freezes that perfect moment in time: a playful dance of stolen glances, a lifted skirt, and a kiss that seems to stop the world.

Yet every summer romance meets reality. The brunette beauty heads to Rio and accidentally—perhaps not so accidentally—takes his necklace with her. Distance complicates things, but the memory of that vibrant night keeps their hearts tied together. Whenever she sees the necklace, he hopes she will feel the same nostalgic pull he does. Morena celebrates the thrill of spontaneous connection, the bittersweet ache of separation, and the way a single night can echo like a favorite song long after the music fades.
