Luz De Luna Lyrics in English Natalia Lafourcade , Aida Cuevas

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Luz De Luna by Natalia Lafourcade from Spanish to English.
I want moonlight
For my sad night
To feel divine the illusion that you brought me
To feel you mine
Mine, you like no other
Since you left
I haven't had moonlight
Since you left
I haven't had moonlight
I feel your shackles
Like hooks, like claws
That drown me on the shore
Of the spree and the pain
If I drag your chains
In the silent night
Let it be full-moonlit
Blue like no other
Since you left
I haven't had moonlight
Since you left
I haven't had moonlight
If you never come back
My little provincial girl
To my beloved jungle
That is sad and is cold
That at least your memory
Cast light on my mist
Since you left
I haven't had moonlight
I feel your shackles
Like hooks, like claws
That drown me on the shore
Of the spree and the pain
I feel your chains dragging
In the silent night
Let it be full-moonlit
Blue like no other
Since you left
I haven't had moonlight
Since you left
I haven't had moonlight

SONG MEANING

“Luz de Luna” is a heartfelt serenade where moonlight becomes the singer’s only comfort. Natalia Lafourcade and the legendary Aida Cuevas paint a nocturnal scene full of bolero-style drama: the narrator’s lover has left, and since that goodbye, the night sky feels dark and empty. Moonbeams are a symbol of hope, warmth, and the sweet illusion of reunion, yet without her beloved there is no glow at all. Heavy images of chains, hooks, and a silent beach capture how grief clings like metal, turning every party moment into pain.

Wrapped in lush strings and ranchera accents, the duet blends nostalgia with poetic flair. The singer pleads for even a memory to shine like a full, blue moon to guide her through the mist of heartbreak. It is a song of yearning that transforms simple lunar light into a powerful metaphor for lost love, reminding us how a single departure can eclipse an entire world.
