Moon
Шаен a.k.a. Cheyenne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They who meet on April night
Are forever lost in love
If there's moonlight all about
And there's no moon above
I wonder who thought it up
I did
Something in your eyes I see
Soon begins bewitching me
It's that old devil moon
That you stole from the skies
It's that old devil moon in your eyes
You and you glance
Make this romance
Too hot to handle
Stars in the night
Blazing their light
Can't hold a candle
To your razzle-dazzle
You've got me flyin' high and wide
On a magic carpet ride
Full of butterflies inside
Wanna cry, wanna croon
Wanna laugh like a loon
It's that old devil moon in your eyes
Just when I think
I'm free as a dove
Old devil moon
Deep in your eyes
Blinds me with love
You know, Mister Mahoney
That old devil moon
It's in your eyes too
It is?
Well, it takes two to make a valley legend
I look at you and glory be
Something in your eyes I see
Soon begins bewitching me
It's that old devil moon
That you stole from the skies
It's that old devil moon in your eyes
You and your glance
Make this romance
Too hot to handle
Stars in the night
Blazing their light
Can't hold a candle
To your razzle-dazzle
You've got me flyin' high and wide
On a magic carpet ride
Full of butterflies inside
Wanna cry, wanna croon
Wanna laugh like a loon
It's that old devil moon in your eyes
Just when I think
I'm free as a dove
Old devil moon
Deep in your eyes
Blinds me with love
The lyrics of the song "Moon" by Шаен (Cheyenne) explores the intoxicating effect of love and attraction. The song opens with a reference to a valley legend - two people who meet on an April night under moonlight, are lost in love forever. The idea of moonlight as a powerful force of attraction is further emphasized when the singer says "It's that old devil moon that you stole from the skies, in your eyes." The allusion to the devil suggests that love is a force as powerful and mysterious as the supernatural.
The singer describes how the sight of the person in front of them is enough to begin bewitching them. The stars in the skies pale in comparison to the razzle-dazzle of the person's eyes. The singer is overwhelmed by the emotions of love and desire, wanting to both cry and laugh like a fool. However, just when they begin to feel free, the "old devil moon" in the other person's eyes blinds them with love once again.
Overall, the lyrics of the song "Moon" by Шаен (Cheyenne) explore the timeless theme of love as a mystical force that can make us feel both powerful and powerless, within the same moment.

That's the valley legend
This is a well-known story in the valley
They who meet on April night
Those who meet on a certain night in April
Are forever lost in love
Will fall deeply in love and never be able to escape it
If there's moonlight all about
If the night is lit by moonlight
And there's no moon above
Even though there's no moon visible in the sky
I wonder who thought it up
I am curious who came up with this legend
I did
I am the one who came up with it
I look at you and suddenly
When I look at you, all of a sudden
Something in your eyes I see
I see something in your eyes
Soon begins bewitching me
That something starts to enchant me
It's that old devil moon
It's the devilish allure of the moon
That you stole from the skies
That seems to come from the heavens above
It's that old devil moon in your eyes
That same allure is what I see in your eyes
You and you glance
The way you look at me
Make this romance
Turns this relationship
Too hot to handle
Into something intense and passionate
Stars in the night
Even the stars in the sky
Blazing their light
Can't outshine
Can't hold a candle
The brilliance of
To your razzle-dazzle
Your enchanting presence
You've got me flyin' high and wide
You make me feel free and soaring
On a magic carpet ride
Like I'm on a magical journey
Full of butterflies inside
Feeling excited and happy inside
Wanna cry, wanna croon
Feeling overwhelmed with emotions
Wanna laugh like a loon
Feeling giddy and carefree
Just when I think
But just when I feel
I'm free as a dove
Like I finally have no worries
Old devil moon
The enchanting influence of the moon
Deep in your eyes
Is still present in your eyes
Blinds me with love
Overwhelming me with love and emotion
You know, Mister Mahoney
Do you know what, Mister Mahoney?
That old devil moon
That tantalizing moon
It's in your eyes too
Is present in your eyes as well
It is?
Really?
Well, it takes two to make a valley legend
This could be the beginning of our own romantic legend
I look at you and glory be
When I look at you, I am in awe
