Eva Luna

Eva Luna Lyrics

Eva Luna sews her costume in the night
The city of lights waits for the carnival tomorrow
All year long the people struggle to survive
Living for one moment
When every dream can come alive
Favella – is just another word for Shanty town
Ay Eva – can you live on a moment forever
Chorus
Ay Eva Luna
Are you a secret jungle princess
Daughter of the goddess
Love child of the moon
Ay Eva Luna
Do you dream about your father
Sitting silent as the water
By the esmerald lagoon
Aye – Eva Luna – Aye
Ay Eva
In the shadows stands a figure dressed in black
A spirit in a mask silently watching every movement
Arm in arm they dance – the ragged and the chic
Lost among a half a million other dancers in the street
Belleza – Eva is beautiful for all to see
Ay Eva – unaware of the presence of danger

Chorus
Ay Eva Luna
Are you a secret jungle princess
Daughter of the goddess
Love child of the moon
Ay Eva Luna
Do you dream about your father
Sitting silent as the water
By the esmerald lagoon
Aye – Eva Luna – Aye
Ay Eva
Belleza – Eva is beautiful for all to see
Ay Eva...
Ay Eva Luna
The archangel blows his trumpet
Little sister of the sunset
Do the saints watch over you
Ay Eva Luna
Do you pray to the Madonna
Or the spirit of the forest
Is it all the same to you
Ay Eva Luna
Are you a secret jungle princess
Daughter of the goddess
Love child of the moon
Ay Eva Luna
Do you dream about your father
Sitting silent as the water
By the esmerald lagoon
Aye – Eva Luna – Aye
Ay Eva
