LUNA x VÉRTIGO English Translation Lyrics by Belen Aguilera
Foolish is he who does not understand,
So the legend goes,
That a gypsy woman
Beseeched the moon until dawn,
Crying she begged,
To be wed by daybreak to a gypsy man.
“You shall have your man of dark skin,”
Spoke the full moon from the sky.
“But in return, I demand
The first child you bear for him.
For one who sacrifices her child
Just to not be alone, won’t love him much.”
Moon, you long to be a mother,
And you can’t find love that makes you a woman.
Tell me, silver moon,
What do you intend to do with a dark-skinned child?
Ahh-ah-ah-ah, ahh-ah-ah-ahh
Son of the Moon.
Give me a night that is eternal,
Put your face between my legs,
Drink from my freedom.
There are times I punish myself,
For no reason at all.
Cover me, I’m cold,
An unknown vertigo.
You appear from oblivion,
Fill my empty glass.
Ah, ah-ah-ah, I’ve been rejected before,
Ah, ah-ah-ah, until my body can’t take it.
I am one for intense emotions,
Calmness drives me insane,
I sleep in other people’s beds,
I search for a different place,
Not to pay your outstanding debts,
I’m tired of being brave.
Ah, ah-ah-ah, nothing is like it used to be,
Ah, ah-ah-ah, my soul no longer breaks, so
Give me a night that is eternal,
Put your face between my legs,
Drink from my freedom.
Though nothing lasts forever,
You have all my present,
No one knows what will come,
A vertigo that doesn’t go away.
A vertigo that doesn’t go away,
A vertigo that doesn’t go away,
A vertigo that doesn’t go away.
Moon, you long to be a mother,
(Give me a night that is eternal)
(Put your face between my legs)
And you can’t find love that makes you a woman,
(Drink from my freedom)
(You have all my present)
Tell me, silver moon,
(No one knows what will come)
What do you intend to do with a dark-skinned child? (No one knows what will come)
Give me a night that is eternal,
Put your face between my legs,
Drink from my freedom,
Though nothing lasts forever,
You have all my present,
No one knows what will come,
A vertigo that doesn’t go away.
