Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Quiero escaparme con la vieja luna
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
Ella sabe si es que lo perdí

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
