about

Trumpet introduces a James Taylor style fingerpicked ballad with beautiful Spanish chorus, upbeat feel contrasted with tragic lyrics: A young Guatemalan girl sings over the phone to her papa in America every day, dreaming of the day she will join him. She doesn't make it, victim of the gang wars in her town.

lyrics

MEET ME AT THE MOON
Gerry & Christine Spehar
She was afraid when the night came on
And darkness would rule the world
So we would sing this little song
When she was a little girl
Nos vemos en la luna, Querida
Nos vemos en la noche de luna
Nos vemos en la luna, Papa
Nos vemos en la luz de la luna
I couldn’t make enough money
There wasn’t no work in town
I had to leave on that long sad train
Up to the picking grounds
I couldn’t wait for the whistle to blow
Tell me the day was done
I couldn’t wait to call her up
So we could sing on the phone
Nos vemos en la luna, Querida
Nos vemos en la noche de luna
Nos vemos en la luna, Papa
Nos vemos en la luz de la luna
How was your day, Papa?
What did you do?
When do you think I will get to see you again?
She was beautiful, twelve years old
They wouldn’t leave her alone
We were planning to send her up north to me
She never made it home
How was your day, Papa?
What did you do?
When do you think I will get to see you again?
Nos vemos en la luna, Querida
Nos vemos en la noche de luna
Nos vemos en la luna, Papa
Nos vemos en la luz de la luna
Meet me at the moon tonight
