sulo je nun me firo 'e sta'
guarda 'sti feneste
'ccà nisciuno cchiù jesce
pà paura e se putè ntussecà
siente pure l' onne
s' annasconneno 'o scuro
tu cu l' acqua ce putive parlà
e manco chest te resta
vir
'cca tutt sò partuto
dimme cu cchi t' 'a vuò piglià
forz nun sapimme manco bbuono sta storia
e nata storia bbona nun se po ffà
guarda chesti cchiese e tutta 'a gente
'mbrujatae quanta mbruglie chesta
gente se fà
e nun ll' abbasta maje niente
e o tiempo cchiù strano se fa
e stu tiempo ca sempre
cchiù strane ce fa
luna vaje mo s è fatta ll ora
pije e cuccate cchiù llà
tutta l ata gente ca nun vede e nun sente
nun se mporta e tutto chell che faje
e manco tutto l abbasta
e 'o cielo cchiù chiaro se fa
vattenne ca 'o tiempo cchiù strano me fa
The lyrics to Foja's song Luna convey a sense of isolation and despair. The singer addresses the moon, pleading with it not to abandon them tonight. They express that they feel alone, and that no one else is coming out of their windows, perhaps for fear or hiding from something. The moon may be the only source of comfort and company, with a possibly metaphorical way to speak to the water. The singer seems resigned to their solitude, stating that not even whatever they have left can console them.
The second half of the song adds to this sense of hopelessness. The singer mentions that everyone else seems to have left, and asks whom the moon will choose to accompany instead. They express their inability to understand what's going on, claiming that even a good story cannot be made out of it. They observe that people seem to become enchanted, and that they will never have enough. The changing times are causing even stranger things to happen, and the singer seems to be telling the moon to leave before things get even harder to endure.
Overall, the message of the song seems to be one of loneliness, disillusionment, and uncertainty. The singer seems to feel that they are the only one left who can see things for what they are, while everyone else is either too enchanted or too scared to face reality.
