Luna
Árbol Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Aroma zanja el patio
Canción cansada, la letra dice: "nada"
La luna baila y el viento cuenta un cuento
Baila la luna, maquilla el baile, baila la luna
Fiesta, piñata y ponche azul
Patio pantano otoño sigue huraño, carne del perro sarna
Autista mira un cotillón
Cuatro flores se hacen hombre
Y la luna llora al mundo
La luna tuvo un hijo enfermo
The lyrics of Arbol's Luna convey a collection of vivid, sometimes bizarre, images that combine to create a dreamlike atmosphere. The song is laced with sensory details that create a vivid setting, such as the "aroma zanja el patio" (the scent of a ditch in the courtyard) and the "piñata why ponche azul" (the blue punch at a party). The tone is somewhat melancholic, as evidenced by the line "Canción cansada, la letra dice: 'nada'" (Tired song, the lyrics say: 'nothing'), which suggests a sense of lost hope. This is further compounded by the line "Otoño sigue huraño" (Autumn remains unsociable), which creates a sense of isolation and loneliness.
At the same time, however, there are hints of joyful celebration, from the fiesta and piñata to the image of the moon dancing, "maquilla el baile" (makeup for the dance). And there are also mystical elements, such as the moon speaking to a blind person every night and the moon bearing a sick child. These surreal elements create a sense of otherworldliness, leaving the listener to question the true meaning behind the lyrics.
