Luna, gardenia de plata, que en mi serenata te vuelves canción
Moon, silver gardenia, that in my serenade becomes a song
Tú, que me viste cantando, me ves hoy llorando mi desilusión
You, who saw me singing, now see me crying my disappointment
Calles bañadas de luna que fueron la cuna de mi juventud
Streets bathed in moonlight that were the cradle of my youth
Vengo a cantarle a mi amada, mi luna plateada de mi Xelajú
I come to sing to my beloved, my silver moon of my Xelajú
Vengo a cantarle a mi amada, mi luna plateada de mi Xelajú
I come to sing to my beloved, my silver moon of my Xelajú
Luna de Xelajú
Moon of Xelajú
Que supiste alumbrar
That knew how to shine
En mis noches de pena por una morena de dulce mirar
In my nights of sorrow for a brown-eyed girl with a sweet gaze
Luna de Xelajú
Moon of Xelajú
Me diste inspiración
You gave me inspiration
La canción que te canto regada con llanto de mi corazón
The song that I sing to you is sprinkled with tears from my heart
En mi vida no habrá (en mi vida no habrá)
In my life, there will be no (in my life, there will be no)
Más cariño que tú, mi amor (más cariño que tú, mi amor)
More affection than you, my love (more affection than you, my love)
Porque no eres ingrata, mi luna de plata, luna de Xelajú
Because you are not ungrateful, my silver moon, moon of Xelajú
Luna que me alumbró (luna que me alumbró)
Moon that illuminated me (moon that illuminated me)
En mis noches de amor
In my nights of love
Hoy consuelas la pena por una morena que me abandonó
Today you soothe the sorrow for a brunette who left me
