Luna de Xelajù [English translation]

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
