SHECHARCHORET

DARK GIRL (MORENICA)

   

Shecharchoret yikre'uni
Tzach haya ori
Ki milahat shemesh kayitz
Ba li shechori

Chorus:
Shecharchoret
Yafyafit kawl kach
Einayich eish bo'eret
Libi kulo shelach

Shecharchoret yikre'uni
Kawl yordei hayam
Im od pa'am yikre'uni
Shuv eilech itam

Shecharchoret yikre'uni
Ben le'av molech
Im od pa'am yikre'eni
Acharav eilech

The dark girl, they call me
My skin was pure white
From the fire of the summer sun
Comes my darkness

Chorus:
Dark girl
So very beautiful
Your eyes, a burning fire
My heart is all yours

The dark girl, they call me
All those who go down to the sea
If again they call me
I will go with them again

The dark girl, they call me
The king's son
If he calls me again
I will follow him
