He sings that he didn't wanted to be a man before being a poet. Pons' lyrics -he sings in spanish- talk about life, love or surprising tales (only understandable after a cup of whisky with a muffin).
In 2005 releases Filatelico (a demo including 6 songs). In 2006 he releases grouped in Pecados de juventud a bunch of his old songs, previously edited in old-lost demos or never released. 2006 it's also the year where a song for a TV commercial makes his music known to more people.
In 2007 he finally releases Mal Te Veo, his first studio album, including 14 songs and performing duets next to Aurora Beltran (from Tahures Zurdos) or Lucas Masciano.

Luna
Rafa Pons Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
que no calienta pero, que nunca se apaga.
Luna de cristal o de diamante,
metal que llora, luna menguante.
Luna es tu cráter un volcán cuando me buscas
tus ojos muestran lo que tu cara oculta.
Luna me ilumina, luna llena,
Luna crece cuando sabe que enloquece con un rayo a esas personas
que se niegan a sentir con las neuronas. Luna ríe, luna llora.
Luna que corre tupidos velos, cuando le pides que borre
tu nombre de su lista de polvos pendientes.
Luna, en cuarto creciente estoy.
Luna que viste de blanco el cielo, mientras sueña que un eclipse
la esconde en sombra para que sea invisible.
Luna triste, sola, negra es nueva, luna libre.
Luna es un lujo que tu influjo me convierta
en ese lobo que te aúlla y que te tienta.
Luna siempre frena mis instintos
que mala suerte, hoy cambia el ciclo.
Luna ya vieja en su órbita no espera
nunca a los hombres que dejaron su huella
Lunáticos que fueron selenitas
ya no la buscan ni necesitan.
Media luna es lo que queda cada día cuando la jubila el alba
que las noches cada vez se hacen más largas.
¡Ay satélite descansa!
Luna que corre……
Luna sabe que algún día no habrán naves
alunizando en sus estaciones, pesan ya las rotaciones
y se aferra a ese sol de porcelana,
sabe que el brillo se acaba,
luna apuesta y siempre gana.
Luna que corre….
The song "Luna" by Rafa Pons is a beautiful and poetic tribute to the moon. The lyrics paint images of a moon that rests alongside a porcelain sun that never warms but never goes out, of a crystal or diamond moon that sheds tears, and of a waning moon that smells of earth. The moon is portrayed as a volcano, ready to erupt when it seeks out its lover, and its eyes reveal what its face hides. The moon illuminates the world and its cycles govern our lives, restraining our instincts and marking the passage of time with its phases. It is also a symbol of sadness, loneliness, and freedom, and it knows that someday it will be left alone as its influence wanes.
Throughout the song, the moon is personified and given human-like qualities, as if it were a lover or a friend. The moon is both radiant and mysterious, and it captures our imagination in a way that few other things can. The song is a celebration of the moon's beauty and power, and a reminder that even as we go about our daily lives, the moon is always there, watching over us and shaping our world.
