Moonlight
III. Presto Agitato Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I've been stuck between these same four walls
Swallow the pain, feelings fade away
Everything has become a painfully dull grey
When I broke free, you were standing in front of me
The moonlight shaping your face clearly
And beaming bright you squeezed my hand tight
You didn't want to leave me behind
Colours my way forward
My past far behind me
As we both go onward
No longer afraid of
Being stuck away from
And not being nearby
The way you make my heart strum
A flash of fire emits from your hair
Sunny forests bloom in your eyes
I haven't felt this way in a terribly long time
Free to think, free to feel
The hue of the moonlight
Colours my way forward
My past far behind me
As we both go onward
No longer afraid of
Being stuck away from
And not being nearby
The way you make my heart strum
The lyrics to "Moonlight" by III. Presto Agitato explore the complicated dynamics of a relationship that is difficult to navigate. The singer is unsure if they are right or wrong in their interactions with their partner, but feels frustrated that they cannot seem to get along. Despite not wanting to talk, the singer has a lot to say and channels their emotions into the song. They question why their partner is the way they are and feel as though they are not important to them. The chorus compares the partner to moonlight - beautiful yet complicated - and expresses the singer's frustration that they cannot seem to understand or connect with them.
The second verse delves deeper into the singer's thoughts and feelings. They believe they understand their partner better than their partner understands them, and turn to alcohol to try and numb their pain and frustration. The bridge addresses the partner directly, accusing them of lying and asking if they are happy with the situation they have created. The final verse repeats the frustration and confusion of the first, wondering why the partner wants to know about them and acknowledging that the malady in the relationship is not the singer's fault.
Overall, the lyrics to "Moonlight" convey a sense of emotional turmoil and confusion, coupled with a desire to understand and connect with a difficult partner.

I don’t know if I am right or wrong
I am unsure about my actions or thoughts
I really try but we can’t get along
Despite my efforts, we cannot have a good relationship
Don’t wanna talk but got a lot to say
I am hesitant to speak, but have many things to express
So I’ma put it down in this song
I will express my feelings and thoughts through this piece of music
Quiero saber porque tu eres asi
I want to know why you behave the way you do
No tengo culpa de tu mal vivir
I am not responsible for your unhappy life
Si yo no te importo anyways, like you say
If I don't matter to you anyway, as you claim
Para que tu quieres saber de mi
Why do you want to know about me
Si tu quieres rumbear no te detengo
If you want to party, I won't stop you
No te quiero controlar ningun momento
I don't want to control you at any time
Pero que te quede claro que tu
But it should be clear to you that
No me vas a venir con ningun cuento
You won't fool me with any story
Si estamos estamos, Sshhh lo callamos
If we are together, let's keep it quiet
I don’t make time to waste time, por ahi mismo nos vamos
I don't have time to waste, so let's leave now
Gozamos y el martes hablamos, si quieres desayunamos
We'll have fun now and talk on Tuesday, if you want we can have breakfast
You’re like the moonlight, so beautiful but so complicated
You are like the moonlight - stunning, but difficult to understand
And I don’t mind that, it’s just that you don’t want me to get it
I don't have a problem with that, it's just that you don't want me to understand you
You really want me to regret it, you love to say oh just forget it
You want me to feel bad about it, you like to say 'just forget it'
Your vibes don’t lie you can try and try, what you say is so synthetic
Your feelings are genuine and cannot be changed, what you say is fake
So pathetic, creo que se porque tu eres asi
It's so sad, I believe I know why you behave like this
Yo te conozco mejor que tu a mi, necesito otro trago
I know you better than you know me, I need another drink
Un poco mas fuerte, pa no mandarte al carajo
A little stronger, so I don't tell you off
Pa anestesiarme la vida, para ser igual que tu
To numb my life, to be like you
Are you happy now, do you like me now, corona’o, right
Are you satisfied now, do you approve of me now, with a beer, right
Es el resulta’o, de lo que has crea'o
It's the result of what you have created
Tu te lo ha’ gana’o, don’t come crying, no complaining allowed
You earned it yourself, don't cry or complain
You be lying, say you know nothing about
You are lying, pretending you don't know anything about it
Say you know nothing about
Pretend you don't know anything about it
Necesito otra vaina, que me apague la luz, pa sentirme como tu
I need something else to get me feeling like you do
Quiero saber porque tu eres asi, no tengo culpa de tu mal vivir
I want to know why you behave the way you do, I am not responsible for your unhappy life
Para que tu quieres saber de mi, no tengo culpa de tu mal vivir
Why do you want to know about me, I am not responsible for your unhappy life

I would give every one of my meager possessions for the chance to hear her play this in person.
This song, specifically how she plays it, strikes a chord in me that I can't explain. It's immaculate, and one of my favorite songs of all time, again, specifically played by her.
I've head many versions of this, and listen to a very wide variety of music, but this is just incredible. I don't have words to describe how this moves me. I have a vague understanding of the work that must have gone into playing like this, but it just seems less like she's playing this song, and more like the song is just flowing out of her.
I don't think I've ever heard another composition that hits me like this does.
Thank you for this masterpiece, Valentina Lisitsa. You deserve every ounce of praise that can be given for this.

She plays it much faster yet cleaner than anyone I ever heard
The notes so clear, the volume so dynamic, the movement of her hands absolutely effortless and the emotion in this performance is just over the top
I think that’s how Beethoven himself would have played it
Absolut mad lady
@Palahume
Not to mention, all from memory. 😳
@Hephasto
This tempo is hectic , I’m wondering if it’s supposed to be played that fast😮
