Moon, silver gardenia that in my serenade returns to song
You, who saw me singing, today you see me crying in my disillusion
Streets bathed in moonlight that were the cradle of my youth
I come to sing to my lover
Oh silver moon of my Xelajú!
I come to sing to my lover
Oh silver moon of my Xelajú!
Chorus
Xelajú moon who knew how to light up
In my nights of pain
For a brown-skinned woman
With a sweet look
Xelajú moon, you gave me inspiration
The song I sing to you today
Watered with the crying
Of my heart
In my life there will be nothing dearer than you, my love
Because you're not ungrateful, my silver moon, Xelajú moon
The moon that shone in my
Nights of love
Today you advise my pain
For a brown-skinned woman
Who abandoned me
