La Bella Luna
George Israel Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Por mais que eu pense
Que eu sinta, que eu fale
Tem sempre alguma coisa por dizer
Por mais que o mundo dê voltas
Em torno do sol, vem a lua
Me enlouquecer
A noite passada
Você veio me ver

A noite passada
Eu sonhei com você
Ó lua de cosmo
No céu estampada
Permita que eu possa adormecer
Quem sabe, de novo nessa madrugada
Ela resolva aparecer
A noite passada
Você veio me ver

A noite passada
Eu sonhei com você

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in George Israel's song La Bella Luna express the idea that no matter how much we think, feel or speak, there will always be something left unsaid or unexpressed. The moon, on the other hand, seems to have a different effect on the singer as it drives them wild with longing and desire. The singer recalls a recent night when the person they long for came to visit them and they dreamt about them. The moon, as a symbol of cosmic power, is invoked to grant the singer the peace of slumber so that they might dream of their desired person once more.

The song expresses the theme of unrequited love or longing for someone who is not present, and the power of the moon as a symbol of that longing. The moon is often associated with an idealized sense of beauty and romance, and in this song, it serves to intensify the singer's longing and desire.
