שחרחורת יקראוני צח היה עורי
ומלהט שמש קיץ בא לי שחורי
שחרחורת יפיפית כל כך
בעינייך אש בוערת ליבי כולו שלך
שחרחורת יקראוני כל יורדי הים
אם עוד פעם יקראוני שוב אלך איתם
שחרחורת יקראני בן לאב מוֹלך
אם עוד פעם יקראני אחריו אלך

Dark Girl (Morenica)
The dark girl, they call me
my skin was pure white
from the fire of the summer sun
I am dark
Chorus:
Dark girl
so very beautiful
in 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
son to the ruling king
if he calls me again
I will follow him
Also Spelled: Shecherchoret
