Morenita, gonna make you mine;
Tan bonita, wanna see you shine.
You’re the sunlight in the summertime -
Inspiration of the purest kind.
I fantasize about you with colors, colors from the sky,
And the cool wind of the morning surrounds me as I slowly close my eyes.
The sweet mist of your soft breath intoxicates me, lulls to sleep my mind,
‘Cause you drown me, you drown me like a siren in the ocean when you hold me in your arms.
Morenita, gonna make you mine;
Tan bonita, wanna see you shine.
You’re the sunlight in the summertime -
Inspiration of the purest kind.
If I lose you, if I lose you when the sun sets
And the pink light fades into the dark,
The inspiration’s gonna stay with me;
Can’t hold on--gotta set you free.
Hope that you blow back before too long.
Morenita, gonna make you mine;
Tan bonita, wanna see you shine.
You’re the sunlight in the summertime -
Inspiration of the purest kind.
