Luna
Cecilia Ferrer & Argonautas Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sentado bajo la luz
Mirando tus ojos el color de un adiós
Y este rio solo se va
Junto a los suspiros de ver amanecer

Fue flotar con el peso que da
Cargar con el vacío existencial
Pero la cuesta es larga si el cielo viene y va

Mis piernas sangran no me quiero arrastrar

Mil lunas fueron las puertas para soñar
Por verte siempre triunfar
Mil promesas que hoy marcadas se irán
Para traicionar lo que quiero gritar

Mirando estrellas fugaces
Esquivando un deseo tan trivial
Me dijiste que ya no te queda nada
Y justo nada es todo para mi

Fue flotar con el peso que da
Cargar con el vacío existencial
Pero la cuesta es larga
Si el cielo viene y va
Mis piernas sangran no me quiero arrastrar

Mil lunas fueron las puertas para soñar
Por verte triunfar
Mil promesas que hoy marcadas se irán
Para traicionar lo que quiero gritar

Quiero que mi corazón entre donde tu corazón no duerme
Quiero que mis manos sean tus manos dibujando estrellas en todo el cuarto

Quiero que me duela lo que te duele, quiero ser almohada cuando tu duermes
Nananana nanananana

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to the song "Luna" by Cecilia Ferrer & Argonautas seem to be about a relationship that has ended, leaving the singer feeling lost, but still deeply in love. The opening lines describe the singer sitting under the moonlight, looking into the eyes of their lover, as they say a final goodbye. The river flowing beside them serves as a metaphor for the passing of time and the inevitability of change. The singer then reflects on the weight of their existential emptiness and the difficulty of moving on.

The chorus uses the imagery of the moon as a symbol of hope and dreams, as the singer remembers the many doors the moon has opened for them. They express their desire to see their former lover succeed while still feeling betrayed and hurt by broken promises. The following verse provides further insight into the pain of moving on, as the singer watches shooting stars and tries to hide their trivial desires. They are told that their former lover has nothing left to give, but the singer recognizes that even nothing is important to them.

The final lines of the song express the singer's desire to be understood and comforted by their former lover. They want to be so close that their hearts beat together, and they want to share their talents and passions. Ultimately, they want to be a source of comfort and support for the person they still love.
