Yo quiero luz de luna

I want moonlight

Para mi noche triste

For my lonely night

Para cantar divina la ilusión que me trajiste

To sing divine the illusion you brought me

Para sentirte mía

To feel you as mine

Mía tú, como ninguna

Mine, like no one else

Pues desde que te fuiste

Since you left

No he tenido luz de luna

I haven't had moonlight

Yo siento tus amarras como garfios, como garras

I feel your bonds like hooks, like claws

Que me ahogan en la playa de la farra y del dolor

That drown me on the shore of joy and pain

Y siento tus cadenas arrastrar en la noche callada

And I feel your chains dragging in the quiet night

Que sea plenilunada, azul como ninguna

May it be full moon night, blue like no other

Pues desde que te fuiste

Since you left

No he tenido luz de luna

I haven't had moonlight

Pues desde que te fuiste

No he tenido luz de luna

Si ya no vuelves nunca

If you never come back again

Provincianita mía

My little hometown

A mi celda querida que está triste y está fría

To my dear cell that’s sad and cold

Que al menos tu recuerdo

At least your memory

Ponga luz, sobre mi bruma

Brings light, over my haze

Pues desde que te fuiste

Since you left

No he tenido luz de luna

I haven't had moonlight

Yo siento tus amarras como garfios, como garras

I feel your bonds like hooks, like claws

Que me ahogan en la playa de la farra y del dolor

That drown me on the shore of joy and pain

Y siento tus cadenas arrastrar en la noche callada

And I feel your chains dragging in the quiet night

Que sea plenilunada, azul como ninguna

Pues desde que te fuiste
