La Luna
Basia Matt Bianco Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Softly glowing
Watch the river flowing
Its reflections
Shine into my eyes
I see clearer
When you hold the mirror
We can reach the stars up in the sky tonight
All around the universe
You're looking down
I know You're watching over me

La Luna is it a mild case of madness'
La Luna You take me out of the darkness

Move on I tried to
But I'm lost without you
You're my guide, my light
I'm there when you call

So hold me closer
'Till the dance is over
On a night like this
Don't ever let me go

All around the universe
You're looking down
I know You're taking care of me

La Luna is it a mild case of madness'
La Luna You take me out of the darkness

'Till the night is gone don't ever let me go
'Till the night is gone don't ever let me go
Don't let me go




Until the day is dawning let me dance
Until I can no more

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Basia Matt Bianco's song La Luna convey a sense of wonder and awe towards the natural world, specifically towards the moon and the river that reflects its light. The artist sings about feeling a greater clarity and understanding of the universe when in the presence of a loved one who acts as a mirror, helping them reach the stars. The song also makes reference to a divine presence watching over the singer and guiding them in the darkness.


The line "La Luna is it a mild case of madness?" could suggest a sense of irrationality or emotional intensity that comes with being in love or under the spell of the moon's influence. The repetition of "don't ever let me go" reflects a desire for the moment to last forever and a fear of losing the connection that is being experienced. The song captures the romantic, mystical and philosophical dimensions of staring out into the night sky.
