A La Luna De Valencia

Heart Stolen Under the Moon of Valencia

Mario Frangoulis' song "A La Luna De Valencia" is a poetic and evocative piece that delves into the themes of love, loss, and longing. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a romantic encounter under the moon of Valencia, a city in Spain known for its rich culture and beautiful landscapes. The moon serves as a silent witness to the protagonist's emotional turmoil, as he recounts how his heart was stolen and transformed into an eel, a metaphor for the slippery and elusive nature of love.

The imagery of the Albufera, a freshwater lagoon near Valencia, and the process of fermentation of rice, which is a staple in Valencian cuisine, adds a layer of cultural depth to the song. The protagonist's heart, now an eel, is consumed by the beloved, symbolizing how love can be both nourishing and consuming. The reference to 'allipebre,' a traditional Valencian dish made with eel, further emphasizes the connection between love and sustenance, as well as the pain and pleasure intertwined in romantic relationships.

The moon, personified in the song, offers no solace to the protagonist. Instead, it acknowledges the passion and the inevitable suffering that comes with love. The moon's response, "nada mas que enamorarte" (nothing more than falling in love), highlights the universal and timeless nature of love's trials. The song captures the essence of a love that is both beautiful and heartbreaking, set against the backdrop of Valencia's enchanting moonlit nights.
