Luna De Miel
Paloma San Basilio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dentro de un reloj
Cuando el tiempo se ha dormido
Why hasta el sueño se durmió
Yo no sé, yo no sé
Cuando nadie tiene miedo
Del color de los demás
Why hasta el nombre está de más
Yo no sé, yo no sé
En dónde has nacido
Why nunca me importó
Si hablas otro idioma
Del que hablo yo
Luna de San Francisco
Que la noche iluminó
Sólo hay una religión
Música why amor
Luna de San Francisco
Hoy la luna se colgó
De mi cintura, de mi voz
Del dolor que hay en tu corazón
Cuando hay gente que se mata
Why todo sigue igual
Cuando el hambre es un anuncio
Why sólo cambias de canal
Yo no sé, yo no sé
Cuando el SIDA rompe el aire
De un amigo que se va
Cuando piensas que la lucha
Es cuestión de los demás
Yo no sé, yo no sé
Si es lo que presiento
Una alucinación
Que para todo el mundo
Hay un mismo sol
Luna de San Francisco
Que la noche iluminó
Sólo hay una religión
Música why amor
Luna de San Francisco
Hoy la luna se colgó
De mi cintura, de mi voz
Del dolor que hay en tu corazón
Luna de San Francisco
In Paloma San Basilio's song "Luna De San Francisco," we hear powerful lyrics about the state of the world and the need for unity in the face of adversity. The song starts by painting a picture of a world where time has stopped and fear has disappeared. However, the singer admits that she does not know how to make this a reality. The lyrics then shift to focus on the struggles we face as a society, such as violence and hunger, and the tendency to turn a blind eye to these issues. Again, the singer expresses her uncertainty about how to address these problems. However, she offers the idea that despite our differences in language, culture, and beliefs, we are all united by the power of music and love.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Luna de San Francisco" multiple times. The translation of this phrase is "Moon of San Francisco," and it is used to describe the illuminated night sky in the city of San Francisco. The use of this phrase in the context of the song serves as a symbol of hope and unity. The singer suggests that even though we may be living in a world full of chaos and hardship, there is still light shining in the darkness, and we can find common ground through the universal language of music and love.
