[Verso 1]
[Verse 1]
A esa mujer la quiero
That woman I love her
Por esa mujer yo me muero
For that woman I die
A veces me pregunto por qué
Sometimes I ask myself why
La vida me ha pagado tan mal
Life has paid me so poorly
Después de tanto tiempo tenerla
After having her for so long
No sé cómo podré olvidar
I don't know how I'll be able to forget
Sus besos y sus caricias
Her kisses and her caresses
Su linda forma de caminar
Her lovely way of walking
[Pre-Coro]
[Pre-Chorus]
Hay amor
Hay amor
Hay amor
Hay amor
Te quiero más que nada en este mundo
I love you more than anything in this world
Hay amor
Hay amor
Te quiero más que nada en este mundo
I love you more than anything in this world
Y yo no sé por qué razón me olvidaste
And I don't know for what reason you forgot me
Y yo no sé por qué razón me olvidaste
And I don't know for what reason you forgot me
[Coro]
[Chorus]
Morena yo soy tu marido
Morena I am your husband
Regresa conmigo otra vez
Come back with me once more
Morena yo soy tu marido
Morena I am your husband
Regresa conmigo ya ven
Come back with me, come already
Regresa conmigo otra vez
Come back with me once more
Porque te quiero ver
Because I want to see you
Porque te quiero ver
Because I want to see you
Porque te quiero ver
Because I want to see you
Conmigo
With me
[Verso 2]
[Verse 2]
Yo que he sido un hombre tan bueno
I who have been such a good man
Ten compasión de mí por favor
Have compassion for me please
Regresa niña pronto a casa
Come home soon girl
O poco a poco muero de amor
Or little by little I die of love
Los niños me preguntan por ti
The kids ask me about you
Y a veces no sé ni qué decir
And sometimes I don't even know what to say
Les he dicho que te has ido de viaje
I've told them you went on a trip
Y pronto volverías para ser
And soon you'd come back to be
Feliz
Happy
[Pre-Coro]
[Pre-Chorus]
Hay amor
Hay amor
Te quiero más que nada en este mundo
I love you more than anything in this world
Hay amor
Hay amor
Te quiero más que nada en este mundo
I love you more than anything in this world
Y yo no sé por qué razón me olvidaste
And I don't know for what reason you forgot me
Y yo no sé por qué razón me olvidaste
And I don't know for what reason you forgot me
[Coro]
[Chorus]
Morena yo soy tu marido
Morena I am your husband
Regresa conmigo otra vez
Come back with me once more
Morena yo soy tu marido
Morena I am your husband
Regresa conmigo ya ven
Come back with me, come already
Morena yo soy tu marido
Morena I am your husband
Regresa conmigo otra vez
Come back with me once more
Porque te quiero ver
Because I want to see you
Porque te quiero ver
Because I want to see you
Porque te quiero ver
Because I want to see you
Conmigo
With me

🌍 Culture & Context

Context

Released on November 24, 1998 on the album Corazón, Corazón (Platano Records), 'Morena Yo Soy Tu Marido' opens the record (track 1, ~4:42). It is a late-90s amargue classic, true to Raulín Rodríguez's romantic, heartbreaking style.

Meaning

He loves her to death, can't understand why life paid him so poorly or why she forgot him. He reminds her — 'morena, yo soy tu marido' — and begs her to come home: the kids ask about her, and he slowly dies of love.

Artist

Raulín Rodríguez, nicknamed 'El Cacique' or 'El Cacique del Amargue', is one of the emblematic voices of traditional Dominican bachata. Active since the early 90s, he is known for melancholy and sentimental lyrics.
