love this song! Avishai Cohen has so beautiful melodies and songs in his albums!

the sense of Morenica here is for the skin and not the hair, in spanish we can say for a girl "morena de pelo" (dark haired), or "morena de piel" (dark skinned), in this case it takes his sense with "the sun darkened me" (skin, not hair for sure :)

I can't understand so well because it appears to be written in spanish (argentinian) and portuguese,and a verse in hebrew. Maybe an old sephardi (hebrew-iberian) dialect.

I've finded this translation to english,but although is not literal,it keeps the heart of the song:

Can someone translate this in English please??

Being really accurate, it is not really singing in spanish as we speak it today. The language is called Ladino and it is spoken by the Sefaradim (jews from what it was the Ottoman Empire which had a big part of Spain) Still today it is spoken by a large community in Israel which has their own radio station etc... Ladino is a mix of spanish and hebrew same as Yiddish is a mix of old German with hebrew.
