about
This track is the re interpretation of "Tonada de Luna Llena" (1955) originally from Simón Díaz.
This cover is meant to honor the Maestro Simón Díaz and it's release on the same day he passed away 10 years ago, back in 2014.
Simón Díaz endeavored to recover the folklore and musical traditions of the llanos, the Venezuelan plains. This style of music has since been performed by artists such as Argentina's Mercedes Sosa, Brazil's Caetano Veloso, Spain's Joan Manuel Serrat, Peru's Susana Baca, Puerto Rico's Danny Rivera, and Venezuelans Franco De Vita, Soledad Bravo, Juan Carlos Salazar, Carlos Baute and José Luis Rodríguez, among others. Many of Diaz's works have been adapted by symphonies and choral ensembles throughout Venezuela, as well as being incorporated into the orchestral and choral arrangements of conductors and composers of academic music.
lyrics
Yo vi de una garza mora
Dándole combate a un río
Así es cómo se enamora
Tu corazón con el mío
Yo vi de una garza mora
Dándole combate a un río
Así es cómo se enamora
Así es como se enamora
Tu corazón con el mío
Tu corazón con el mío
Luna, luna, luna llena
Menguante
Luna, luna, luna llena
Menguante
Anda muchacho a la casa
Y me traes la carabina jio
Pa' mata este gavilán
Que no me deja gallina jio
La luna me está mirando
Yo no sé lo que me ve
Yo tengo la ropa limpia
Ayer, tarde la lave
La luna me está mirando
Yo no sé lo que me ve
Yo tengo la ropa limpia
Yo tengo la ropa limpia
Ayer tarde la lave
Ayer tarde la lave
Luna, luna, luna llena
Menguante
Luna, luna, luna llena
Menguante
