Luna
Corcobado y Manta Ray Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Con los brazos abiertos,
acariciando los huesos,
la luna me llama en adiós
y un iris escarlata claudica.
No eres brillante ya,
luna de mi lento corazón,
quizá ya no seas mía
y tu huella sea soledad.




Overall Meaning

The lyrics to the song "Luna" by Corcobado y Manta Ray are evocative and immersive, inviting the listener to imagine a solitary figure bidding farewell to the moon. The first stanza sets the scene, describing the singer as holding their arms open and running their hands over their own bones, as if trying to hold themselves together. The moon calls out to them in farewell, and the description of an iris (presumably of an eye) that "claudica" or stutters adds an element of disorientation or confusion to the scene.


The second stanza further explores the idea of separation or loss, with the singer addressing the moon as "luna de mi lento corazón" - the moon of my slow heart. This highlights the idea that the moon is intimately tied to the singer's emotions, but also suggests a sense of melancholy or stagnation. The final lines introduce a note of uncertainty, with the singer questioning whether the moon is still theirs and whether its presence in their life has left them only with solitude.


Overall, the lyrics of "Luna" convey a sense of longing, isolation, and emotional depth. They offer a glimpse into a moment of intense feeling and contemplation, and encourage the listener to reflect on their own relationship with the night sky and the natural world.
