"Luna reluciente" (Shining moon) is quintessentially romantic. The colors are impressionistic, and there is a sense of suspension in the lack of resolution that creates a magical energy, appropriate to the text that expresses adoration at the beloved in the night of a shining moon. Very accessible for the novice singer, this song also has plenty of depth for the advanced artist.
Lyrics/Translation:
Luna, que reluces, toda la noche alumbres! Ay, luna que reluces, blanca y plateada!
Toda la noche alumbres a mi linda enamorada. Amada, que reluces, toda la noche alumbres!
Translation: Moon that shines, you light up the whole night! Ah, shining moon, white and silvered! The whole night you illumine my beautiful beloved! Beloved, who shines, you light up the whole night!
--from Ballads of the Cancioneros
