Llanto de Luna

Gregório Barrios' song 'Llanto de Luna' is a poignant exploration of heartache and longing. The title, which translates to 'Moon's Cry,' sets the tone for a deeply emotional narrative. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a night filled with sorrow and unfulfilled desires, symbolized by the moon's tears. This celestial imagery evokes a sense of timelessness and universality, suggesting that the pain of lost love is a common human experience.

The song delves into the depths of despair that follow a significant loss. The 'Llaga de amor que no puede sanar' (wound of love that cannot heal) speaks to the enduring nature of this emotional pain. The absence of the beloved is likened to a wound that refuses to close, emphasizing the permanence of this heartache. The 'ebria canción de amargura' (drunken song of bitterness) murmured by the sea adds another layer of melancholy, suggesting that even nature itself is in tune with the singer's sorrow.

The repeated questions in the lyrics—'¿Cómo borrar esta larga tristeza que deja tu adiós?' (How to erase this long sadness left by your goodbye?) and '¿Cómo poder olvidarte si dentro muy dentro estás tú?' (How to forget you if you are deep inside me?)—highlight the internal struggle of moving on from a profound loss. These questions underscore the difficulty of overcoming such deep emotional wounds, making the song a powerful expression of enduring love and the pain of separation. The final line, '¿Cómo vivir así en esta soledad tan llena de ansiedad de ti?' (How to live like this in this loneliness so full of anxiety for you?), encapsulates the overwhelming sense of loneliness and longing that permeates the song.
