Luna Creciente Lyrics in English by Natalia Lafourcade, Hermanos Gutiérrez

Desvelos refers to sleepless nights or wakefulness, often implying a state of anxiety, worry, or deep thought that keeps one awake, staring at the ceiling instead of resting.

In the song, the lyrics say "Todita entre desvelos" ("All of you amid sleeplessness"), using the word to describe someone fully consumed by restless nights spent thinking of another person.

Natalia Lafourcade, with Hermanos Gutiérrez, brings us a beautiful and reflective song in "Luna Creciente" [Crescent Moon]. It feels like a conversation with the moon itself, a familiar and comforting presence. The lyrics open with "Luna, lunita creciente, Bajo tu luz de cristal" [Moon, little crescent moon, Under your crystal light], setting a scene of quiet contemplation.

Our singer feels a bit lost, with "palabras quebradas" [broken words] and a voice that "quiere volar" [wants to fly]. There's a longing for the moon's return, because "Son solitarias las noches, Son extraños mis cantos, Si no llegas tú" [The nights are lonely, My songs are strange, If you don't arrive]. It's like the moon is a muse, or a source of peace, that's currently missing. The song even recalls the moon from childhood, remembering "tus besos, mi mar abierto" [your kisses, my open sea], which is such a lovely, poetic way to describe a feeling of freedom and comfort. Later, the moon is called a "cuna de luz escondida" [hidden cradle of light], and the singer asks it to "Tráeme de vuelta la paz" [Bring me back peace]. It's a sweet, almost melancholic plea for solace and inspiration.
