Song Meaning of “La Luna Hizo Esto – Live From The Detroit Opera House” by Il Volo
The poignant song “La Luna Hizo Esto“ by Il Volo, tells a story of love, loss and renewal. It is a reminder that life is full of ups and downs, that heartbreaks and losses do not define us, and that we can learn to move on and be stronger from the experiences.
The lyrics of the song create a vivid image of a night sky. They describe the moon as watching the narrator’s sorrow and grief, and “making everything new with its light”. In contrast to the “darkness of night” and “the pain in my heart”, the presence of the moon illustrates that there is light in the darkness and hope after loss. The chorus emphasizes that the moon has the power to heal, as it sings “la luna hizo esto, a mi me alivia, me arriba, me enseña a volar” (the moon did this, it relieves me, it uplifts me, it teaches me to fly).
The song also points to the intertwined nature of life —we are both “warriors and victims”, and while we can struggle and stumble, we also have the capacity to fight on and rise up.
