    La luna is a collection of new and classic lullabies in Spanish. La luna es una colección de canciones de cuna con ritmos andinos. Listeners will hear genres including loncomeo from Patagonia, candombe from Uruguay, huayno from the Andes and merengue from Venezuela. The songs come to life with the exquisitely performed instrumentation – soft strings of charangos, guitars, cellos and a Cuban tres; the deep boom of an ancient traditional drum (bombo leyero); and soothing and whimsical quenas and sikus (flutes and pan pipes).

lyrics

Benjamín es un pirata
Benjamín es un poeta
Que anda por los siete mares
Buscando nuevas historias

Viaja usando un gran mapa
En una nave repleta
de tesoros, de palabras
Que él mismo ha encontrado

Son palabras tan extrañas
Que seguramente tú
Nunca has escuchado

Astrolabio
Inefable
Escafandra
Bonhomía

Benjamín tiene un cuaderno
Dentro de un cofre dorado
Donde escribe sus tesoros
Las palabras que ha encontrado
En medio de manuscritos
En lugares olvidados,
Y así va haciendo poemas
En su barco en alta mar

Si quisieras ayudarle
Ten a mano un diccionario
Y encuentra también palabras
como Benjamín

Barlovento
Infinito
Ataraxia
Epifanía

TRANSLATION: Benjamin

Benjamin is a pirate
Benjamin is a poet
He sails the Seven Seas
Looking for new stories

He travels with an enormous map
On a ship filled with treasures,
Filled with words that he himself has found

These words are so strange that you surely have never heard them

Astrolabe
Ineffable
Diving Suit
Bonhomie

In his golden chest,
Benjamin has a notebook
Where he writes down his treasures,
The words he has found
in old manuscripts
in forgotten places,
And that’s how he writes his poems,
On his ship on the high seas

If you’d like to help him,
Have a dictionary handy,
And look for new words,
Just like Benjamin

Windward
Infinite
Equanimity
Epiphany
