Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
En el momento en que la noche muere
Cuando se asoma la sonrisa blanca
En la mañana de mi adversidad
Quiero volver a revivir la noche
Porque la vieja luna volverá
Ella es quien sabe donde está mi amor
Vieja luna que en la noche va
Quiero volver a revivir la noche
Porque la vieja luna volverá
Ella es quien sabe donde está mi amor
Ella sabe si es que lo perdí
Vieja luna que en la noche va
The lyrics to Celia Cruz's song Vieja Luna speaks about the desire to escape with the old moon at the moment the night dies and the white smile appears in the morning of adversity. The persona in the song wants to relive the night when the old moon returns because it knows where their love is and if they have lost it. The old moon is personified as someone who understands and knows the whereabouts of the persona's love, giving them comfort as they navigate through their challenges. The song is essentially about the desire for hope in times of adversity, and the understanding that something bigger than oneself, such as the old moon, can provide comforting guidance.
The use of the phrase "vieja luna" or "old moon" in the song provides a clear image of a moon that has seen many years, and therefore symbolizes wisdom and understanding. The singer's desire to escape with the old moon implies a desire to learn from the wisdom of the past and apply it to their current situation. The song's theme of hope and guidance is a common theme in Celia Cruz's music, as she often sang about finding strength and joy in a world full of challenges.
