Lyrics:
Morenica, they call me
my skin was pure white
from the fire of the summer sun
I am dark
Morenica
so very beautiful
in your eyes - a burning fire
my heart is all yours
Morenica , they call me
all those who go down to the sea
if again they call me
I will go with them again
Morenica, they call me
son to the ruling king
if he calls me again
I will follow him

Morenica ( also Morenika) is one of the most beautiful traditional Sephardic songs, and so it earned many versions. We played it many times together, and slowly the melody melted into a new arrangement of the song, expressing our inner worlds and emotions.
The city of Toledo was the perfect setting for this music.
