Este artículo reflexiona sobre la copla de amor montubia, conocida en el litoral ecuatoriano como amorfino. El estudio repasa cualidades del amorfino como género lírico de tradición oral e introduce sus rasgos formales y temáticos. Se señalan algunas distinciones y similitudes de esta poesía popular dentro de la lírica de tipo tradicional. En cuanto a su conceptualización y cercanía a otras formas poéticas, se observan semejanzas notables con la poesía popular de tipo tradicional y con otras formas del folclor hispano. No obstante, se descubren rasgos particulares en su expresión antropológica, producto del contexto en el que se arraiga y de sus usos y su finalidad. Su manifestación dentro del velorio montubio sitúa esta tradición oral como una importante expresión lúdica de aquellos campesinos. Los juegos de rueda mediante la declamación del canto sirvieron para la vida erótica y la vida social, y cohesionaron la convivencia de esas gentes.
