El sol se había casado con la luna
The sun had married the moon
En una ceremonia original
In a one-of-a-kind ceremony
Llegaron las estrellas a la boda
The stars arrived at the wedding
En mágico carruaje celestial
In a magical celestial carriage
La reina de la luz vistió de blanco
The queen of light wore white
Y todo el universo iluminó
And the entire universe lit up
El cielo se tornó de mil colores
The sky turned a thousand colors
Y todas las flores hablaron de amor
And all the flowers spoke of love
Y ya nadie más conquistará a la luna
And no one else will win the moon's heart
La luna se ha casado con el sol
The moon has married the sun
El sol se había casado con la luna
The sun had married the moon
En una ceremonia original
In an original ceremony
Llegaron las estrellas a la boda
The stars arrived at the wedding
En mágico carruaje celestial
In a magical celestial carriage
La reina de la luz vistió de blanco
The queen of light wore white
Y todo el universo iluminó
And the whole universe shone bright
El cielo se tornó de mil colores
The sky turned a thousand colors
Y todas las flores hablaron de amor
And all the flowers spoke of love
Ya nadie más conquistará a la luna
No one will conquer the moon again
La luna se ha casado con el sol
The moon has married the sun

About this song
Firmly fixed in the Latin music firmament as "El Sonero Mayor" (The Greatest Singer), Ismael Rivera was blessed with a gloriously husky voice, which he honed into a unique improvisational instrument.
