Mar y luna
Pecos Kanvas Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Una noche me dejaste
Bajo la luna
Aquel sabor a tí
Junto al mar te desnudaste
Oí tu voz pidiendo más amor
Y la arena suave lecho
Y aquella luna romántica en su luz
Se adueñaron de mis sueños

Y en mi soñar estabas sólo tú.

Mar y luna, mar y luna, mar y luna de mi amor
Luz moruna, luz moruna, luz moruna bella
Como una, como una, como una ensoñación
Mar y luna, mar y luna...

Hoy he vuelto para amarte
Inútilmente lo sabe el corazón
Ya jamás podré tenerte
Más la ilusión ofusca la razón
Sólo puedo recordarte
Bajo la luna testigo de mi amor
Junto al mar llorar mi pena
Morir por ti envuelto en mi dolor

Mar y luna, mar y luna, mar y luna de mi amor
Luz moruna, luz moruna, luz moruna bella
Como una, como una, como una ensoñación
Mar y luna, mar y luna.

Mar y luna, mar y luna, mar y luna de mi amor
Luz moruna, luz moruna, luz moruna bella

Como una, como una, como una ensoñación
Mar y luna, mar y luna.

The chorus repeats the title of the song several times to drive home the theme of the sea and the moon as symbols of the singer’s love.
