Natalia Lafourcade, with Hermanos Gutiérrez, brings us a beautiful and reflective song in "Luna Creciente" [Crescent Moon]. It feels like a conversation with the moon itself, a familiar and comforting presence. The lyrics open with "Luna, lunita creciente, Bajo tu luz de cristal" [Moon, little crescent moon, Under your crystal light], setting a scene of quiet contemplation.

Our singer feels a bit lost, with "palabras quebradas" [broken words] and a voice that "quiere volar" [wants to fly]. There's a longing for the moon's return, because "Son solitarias las noches, Son extraños mis cantos, Si no llegas tú" [The nights are lonely, My songs are strange, If you don't arrive]. It's like the moon is a muse, or a source of peace, that's currently missing. The song even recalls the moon from childhood, remembering "tus besos, mi mar abierto" [your kisses, my open sea], which is such a lovely, poetic way to describe a feeling of freedom and comfort. Later, the moon is called a "cuna de luz escondida" [hidden cradle of light], and the singer asks it to "Tráeme de vuelta la paz" [Bring me back peace]. It's a sweet, almost melancholic plea for solace and inspiration.
