Moon River
Ligia Piro Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Moon river, wider than a mile
I'm crossing you in style some day
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker
Wherever you're goin', I'm goin' your way

Two drifters, off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's end, waitin' 'round the bend
My huckleberry friend, moon river, and me

Moon river, wider than a mile
I'm crossin' you in style some day
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker
Wherever you're goin', I'm goin' your way

Two drifters, off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see




We're after that same rainbow's end, waitin' 'round the bend
My huckleberry friend, moon river, and me

They are willing to wait for it, and the lyrics suggest that they will find it just around the bend.

No me encanta particularmente. Igual, lo que no entiendo es lo siguiente: teniendo la infraestructura y los músicos para hacerlo, ¿por qué no hacer un arreglo novedoso de una canción que todo el mundo canta igual? Una idea.
