Lunita De Tucumán Lyrics in English Tan Bionica

Home / Lyrics Translation / Tan Bionica / Lunita De Tucumán

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Lunita De Tucumán by Tan Bionica from Spanish to English.

It's winter, the window

And your tired face

We enjoy early mornings

Bukowski, Chinese food, and laughter

But I don't care

I don't regret

Having lost

Freedom

If what comes next scares you

I'd rather sing what you like

And if we go back to the past

I ask for your borrowed heart

But I don't care

I don't regret

That I like

The night begins and won't be able to stop

Because it's been a while since it didn't want to cry

Cocaine dries tears

And it's the fuel of my city

I used to sing "Little Moon from Tucumán" to you

So that it hurts less

Every day more

The night begins and won't be able to stop

Because it's been a while since it didn't want to cry

Cocaine dries tears

And it's the fuel of the hurricane

I used to sing "Little Moon from Tucumán" to you

So that it hurts less

Every day more

If this madness made us understand

That joy couldn't console

Let your eyes cry, heart

Your sadness is the sun of my city

And this violence, a gift from my dad

It's hurting me a lot

Every day more

I want to see you all perfumed

With your painted little mouth

To fill me with joy

To extinguish my pain

And the effects I never feel

Are the wind's rebounds

That trap dreams

I want to see you all perfumed

With your painted little mouth

To fill me with joy

To extinguish my pain

And the effects I never feel

Are the wind's rebounds

That trap dreams

I want to see you all perfumed

With your painted little mouth

To fill me with joy

To extinguish my pain

And the effects I never feel

Are the wind's rebounds

That trap dreams

Bye!

SONG MEANING

Tan Biónica invites us on a sleepless tour of Buenos Aires’ neon nights, where love, excess and melancholy collide at every street corner. The narrator speaks to a partner with a “carita de reventada” - a face tired from partying - and confesses that he never regretted trading in his freedom for their wild dawns filled with cheap Chinese Bukowski books, laughter and cocaine-fueled adventures. When pain threatens to creep in, he serenades her with “Lunita de Tucumán,” an old Argentine folk tune, hoping its lullaby glow will ease the sting they both carry.

Beneath the upbeat rock-pop groove lies a tender plea: let the tears flow, because sorrow lights up this city just as much as the streetlamps do. The song exposes the harsh fuel of urban nightlife (“la cocaína seca las lágrimas y es el combustible de mi ciudad”) while clinging to tiny moments of beauty - her painted lips, her perfume, the dreams caught on the “rebotes del viento.” It is a bittersweet anthem to reckless love, escapism and the search for consolation when joy alone isn’t enough. Tan Biónica wraps these conflicting emotions in a sing-along chorus that feels both celebratory and heartbroken, capturing the rollercoaster pulse of Argentina’s nocturnal soul.
