Aquí voy con mi canasto
Here I go with my basket
De tristezas a lavar
Of sorrows to wash away
Al estero del olvido
to the estuary of oblivion
Dejen, déjenme pasar
Let, let me through
Lunita, luna
little moon, moon
No me dejes de alumbrar
Don't stop lighting me up
Tu cariño era el rebozo
Your love was the rebozo
Que nos abrigó a los dos
that sheltered us both
Lo manchaste una mañana
you stained it one morning
Cuando me dijiste adiós
when you said goodbye
Lunita, luna
little moon, moon
No me dejes de alumbrar
Don't stop lighting me up
En la corriente del río
In the river current
He de lavar con ardor
I have to wash with ardor
La mancha de tu partida
The stain of your departure
Que en mi pañuelo quedó
that was left in my handkerchief
Lunita, luna
little moon, moon
No me dejes de alumbrar
Don't stop lighting me up
Soy la triste lavandera
I am the sad laundress
Que va a lavar su ilusión
That she is going to wash away her illusion
El amor es una mancha
love is a stain
Que no sale sin dolor
that does not go without pain
Lunita, luna
little moon, moon
No me dejes de alumbrar
Don't stop lighting me up
