Media Luna
Los Amigos Invisibles Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que promete descubrirse noche a noche
Y yo voy desesperado y la toco
Y me pide asustada por el sol que la amenaza poco a poco
Media luna
Una copa que derrama su locura
Cuando duerme habla en sueños desolados
Y voy llorando una cascada
Media luna
Media luna
La ternura se me pierde en la distancia
Hace amagos de volver y se arrpeiente
La persigo como un loco
Porque la quiero a mi lado para siempre
Media luna
Reina de mis sueños rotos,
Tu mirada indecente
Va y le habla en colores
A mi amor en blanco y negro
Reina de mis sueños rotos
El sonido de tu vida
Va y le habla en canciones
A esta noche de silencio
Reina de los inocentes,
De los comediantes,
De los incoherentes
Reina yo todo lo doy por tu beso imposible
Media luna
Que se va desvaneciendo en su sonrisa
Cuando le hablo de alegrias es su derroche
Y luego corro asustado
Porque me voy quedando solo con la noche
Media luna
Media luna
Media luna
The song "Media Luna" by Los Amigos Invisibles is a beautiful ode to the moon (media luna translates to half moon in English) and its power over human emotions. The lyrics speak of the singer's intense connection with the moon, a connection of longing, desire, and despair. The first verse talks about how the singer is desperate to touch the moon and how it seems scared of the approaching sun. The moon here serves as a metaphor for a lover who is constantly evading the singer's grasp, always holding a piece of themselves back, afraid of opening up fully.
The second verse describes the distance between the singer and the moon, how they try to chase and catch it, but it always seems to be slipping away. The moon is personified as a "reina" or a queen, who speaks in dreams and colors and songs, a queen who is everything to the singer, but always out of reach. The last verse talks about how, despite the singer's fear of being left alone in the dark, they cannot help but be drawn towards the moon and its beautiful, captivating smile.
Overall, "Media Luna" is a song about the beauty and the sorrow of unfulfilled desire, and how the moon can serve as a symbol for all the emotions that surround it.
