Yo no me he tomado
Pero me voy a tomar un traguito ahora
Y se que lo que mas espero
Lo mas que se me enamora

Tres, siete, diez
Ya no me ves
Pero se aleja
Digo tu nombre
Ya sabrás quien es
Soy el perro a tus pies
Que te muerde la costilla
La entreabría y la luna se sienta en su silla

¿Qué tomas lunita y porqué estas tan amarilla?
Bueno, ya estoy cansada y mis hijas ya me llaman viejita
El pelo tan seco y mi piel ya no brilla
Pero el mundo es tuyo, esta noche eres mía

Así que
Quédate, quédate luna
Quédate, quédate luna
Quédate, quédate luna
Quédate, quédate luna

Mira a Dios en el aire, mira a Dios en el mar
Yo te doy toda mi vida para oírte cantar
Oye a Dios en el viento, prueba a Dios en la piel
Dios vive afuera y adentro también

Dímelo, dímelo luna
Dímelo, dímelo luna
Dímelo, dímelo luna
Dímelo, dímelo luna
Dímelo, dímelo luna
Dímelo, dímelo luna
Dímelo, dímelo luna
Dímelo, dímelo luna

Yo no me he tomado
Pero me voy a tomar un traguito ahora
Y se que lo que mas espero
Lo mas que se me enamora

    I haven't drunk But I will have a drink now And I know what I I expect the most What makes me fall in love the most three, seven, ten You don't see me anymore But maybe if I say your name You'll know who it is I'm the dog at your feet the one that bites your rib The stars shine and the moon sits on its chair what do you drink, little moon? and why are you so yellow? well, I'm tired now and my daughters say I'm old My hair is so dry and my skin doesn't shine anymore But the world is yours, tonight your mine so stay, moon, stay stay, moon, stay stay, moon, stay stay, moon, stay See god in the air, see god in the sea I give you my whole life to hear you sing Hear god in the wind, taste god in the honey God lives outside and inside too say it to me, say it to me, moon say it to me, say it to me, moon say it to me, say it to me, moon say it to me, say it to me, moon say it to me, say it to me, moon say it to me, say it to me, moon say it to me, say it to me, moon say it to me, say it to me, moon I haven't drunk but I will have a drink now and I know what I expect the most what makes me fall in love the most. I'm from Chile so yeah I know spanish... The lyrics are pretty hard to translate cause he's using a centro-american form of spanish. *By the way "entreabría" IS a word but it doesn't have a literal meaning in english.

    "Pero el mundo es tuyo, esta noche eres mía" ...Though the world is yours, tonight, you are mine. That's all a couple introductory spanish classes are going to give me.

    ploison, sorry to disappoint you but "Pero el mundo es tuyo, esta noche eres mía" means "But the world is yours, tonight you are mine". That's what he says to the moon when "she" answers "bueno, ya estoy cansada y mis hijas ya me llaman viejita / el pelo tan seco y mi piel ya no brilla" which means "well, i'm tired and my daughters are telling me i'm old / my hair is so opaque and my skin ain't radiant anymore" to his question "¿qué tomas lunita y porqué estás tan amarilla?" ( "tell me little moon what are you drinking and why are you so yellow?")

    ¿Qué tomas lunita y porqué estas tan amarilla? Bueno, ya estoy cansada y mis hijas ya me dicen viejita El pelo tan seco y mi piel ya no brilla Pero el mundo es tuyo, esta noche eres mía Mira a dios en el aire, mira a dios en el mar Yo te doy toda mi vida para oírte cantar Oye a dios en el viento, prueba a dios en la piel Dios vive afuera y adentro también ..................... Rough Translation: What are you drinking little moon and why are you so yellow? Well I"m already tired and my daughters call me old My hair is so dry and my skin doesnt shine. But the world is yours, tonight you are mine. Look at god in the air, look at god in the sea I'll give you all my life just to hear you sing Hear God in the wind, feel God on the skin God lives outside and inside as well Quedate means stay and Dímelo means tell me

    This song is just so gorgeous. The simplicity in which he sings it, combined with his voice is what makes it this breath-taking. Now, I'd interpret it, but I don't speak spanish and there isn't a translation of the lyrics. Oh well. Still a gorgeous song.

    I know Devendra doesn't pronounce the S's he sings more of the spanish you'd hear in Spain. Wonderful song nonetheless.

Another Love
Tom Odell
I think the meaning is pretty clear. This person got really burned in a previous relationship, and because of this is unable to love and show care in his present one, even though he so badly wants to. It's lovely song, and very sad. You can really feel how defeated and frustrated he is with himself.
Album art
Blank Space
Taylor Swift
This song is Swift's response to the negative reputation the media has given her. "I can make the bad guys good for a weekend" - the bad guys are the paparazzi to Swift, but are good to the "player" since association with Swift immediately gives publicity. Any publicity is good publicity and Swift knows this. "You can tell me when it's over" - the tabloids rumor relationships are over before the couple announces it officially. With this song Swift is portraying the way she is portrayed by the media. It is a sarcastic jab at how she views herself and how her "ex-lovers" only wanted to be with her to increase their fame. I applaud the brilliance in writing about how you always write about relationships. It is expected so Swift is giving the media what they want and profiting off the attention.
Album art
Alma Matters
Morrissey
The man has pseudo-friends who constantly criticize his actions. They moralize him, "teach" him and advise him to make a significant change in his life, because the way he is and what he does is not what they say it should be. They may find his life lame or immoral. They hold themselves up as role models. The man replies that he will make his own choices and decisions and he does not agree to unconditionally make himself under the influence of questionable quality advice. He justifies this by saying that there is always someone for whom he will be important, no matter what he does and no matter what he is. Although it is not said directly, I read it as meaning that he will always be important to himself in every way and he will always have his own support. "Everyone is different and maybe that's a good thing, but you exceeded that mark 1000 times" - I remember very well how sad the words I once heard (from my peers and it was in negative context) at school made me feel.
