Luna:
“Cuando la luna se pone redondota como una pelotota el gato con botas se pone a mauyar.”
That song always plays I my head when I see the moon. Well only when it’s big, bright and full. I learned that song back when I was a little girl, I used to sing it every time I saw a full moon. Clearly I still do.
Also I sing these lyrics from one of Guatemala’s MOST famous traditional songs. It is accompanied by the marimba our national traditional instrument. Paco Perez wrote this song back in 1917. I attached a link to hear the tune of the song.
Luna gardenia de plata que en mi serenanta te vualves canción tu que me viste cantando me ves hoy llorando mi desilución calles bañadas de luna que fueron la cuna de mi juventuud vengo a cantarle a mi amada oh luna plateada de mi Xelajú vengo a cantarle a mi amada oh luna plateada de mi Xelajú
Luna de Xelajú que supiste alumbraren mis noches de penapor una morenade dulce mirarLuna de Xelajú me diste insipriración la canción que hoy te cantó regada con llantode mi corazón en mi vida no habrá mas cariño que tu mi amorpor que no eres ingrata mi luna de plata Luna de XeeeeeelajúLuna que me alumbro en mis noches de amorhoy consuelas la penapor una morena queme abandonooo Another song that reminds me always of the moon and I sing sometimes is “ese toro enamorado de la luna” translated is : That bull in love with the moon. Here is alink to the song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Wcp9SCvHm4&feature=related.
Over all I love the moon , it is such mysterious, romantic and beautiful mass.
I always think to my self : wow somewhere in this earth my husband is looking at the same moon. We are both under the same moon, same sky, same sun.
