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
