Letra del Vals Luna de plata

Tiende la noche, su manto azul

Brilla una estrella y en su fulgor,

Hay un mensaje de luz que me dice:

“Es ésta tu noche, hoy llega el amor”.



Cómo la espero, con qué ansiedad

Miro la fuente y en su cristal,

Refleja el agua su imagen ya

Acaso sueño o es realidad.



Y se escondió la estrella

Para dejarnos solos,

Tras una nube tenue

Cual dulce ilusión.

Callaron mis querellas

Nacieron mis sueños,

Al decir: “Te quiero”

Con honda emoción.



Y rubricó la luna

Con palidez de plata,

La lírica fortuna

De nuestros amores.

Nos embriagó el perfume

Que brota de las flores,

Vivió mi fantasía

Su sueño mejor.

English lyrics of the Vals "Luna de plata"

The night spreads out its blue cloak

A star shines, and in its glow,

There’s a message of light telling me:

“This is your night, love arrives today.”

How I wait for it, with such eagerness

I look at the fountain and on its glass,

The water already reflects her image

Is this a dream or is it reality?

And the star hid away

To leave us alone,

Behind a delicate cloud

Like a sweet illusion.

My complaints silenced

My dreams were born,

When saying, “I love you”

With deep emotion.

And the moon endorsed

With the paleness of silver,

The lyrical fortune

Of our love.

The perfume that emanates from flowers

Intoxicated us,

My fantasy lived

Its best dream.

Story behind the Tango Luna de plata

“Luna de plata” or “Silver Moon” in English, translates the romantic essence of a moonlit night into a mesmerizing tango experience. The lyrics reveal a narrative of anticipation and the transformative power of love, set against the backdrop of a night adorned by a silver moon and a star. The story unfolds as the protagonist awaits, with palpable eagerness, the arrival of a beloved, signaled by the cosmic alignment of stars and the moon—a night marked by destiny for love to flourish.



Symbolism of Luna de plata

The lyrics of “Luna de plata” are replete with celestial symbolism, depicting the alignment of stars and the moon as auspicious signs intertwined with love’s arrival. The ‘manto azul’ or ‘blue mantle’ of the night and the ‘estrella’ or ‘star’ shining brightly, serve as cosmic characters in this romantic tale, guiding and witnessing the blossoming love. The reflection of the ‘agua’ or ‘water’ adds an element of introspection, blurring the lines between dreams and reality, which highlights the surreal nature of profound emotional experiences. The concealment of the star behind a cloud, followed by the moon’s silvery glow, can be seen as the universe conspiring to cherish and protect the intimacy of the lovers’ newfound joy.
