Lyrics and translation Joan Manuel Serrat - Luna de Día

Luna de Día

A dónde vas,
Luna de día,
Resbalando equívoca los horizontes.
A dónde vas,
Pálida y fría.
A dónde vas,
Luna de día,
Luna de barro y soledad.
A dónde vas negando el sol,
Qué oscuridades quieres rescatar,
En qué tapete negro probarás fortuna,
Si en las esquinas no te dan voces
Y en las cantinas no te reconocen,
Luna.
A dónde vas,
De tapadillo,
Huérfana de espejos y lentejuelas.
A dónde vas,
Sin lazarillo.
A dónde vas,
De tapadillo,
Llena y en vela.

Moon by Day

Where are you going,
Moon by day,
Unequivocally slipping over the horizon.
Where are you going,
Pale and cold.
Where are you going,
Moon by day,
Moon of clay and solitude.
Where are you going, denying the sun,
What darkness do you want to rescue,
On what black carpet will you test your luck,
If on the street corners they don't give you voice
And in the bars they don't recognize you,
Moon.
Where are you going,
On the sly,
Orphaned from mirrors and sequins.
Where are you going,
Without a guide dog.
Where are you going,
On the sly,
Full and sleepless.
