The song "La Lluna" by Joan Manuel Serrat is about the moon and its various symbolic meanings and powers. The lyrics describe how the moon brings solace and comfort to those who are intoxicated by philosophy. It is portrayed as a powerful amulet that can protect against dangers, like a piece of the moon in one's pocket being more effective than a rabbit's foot. The moon is said to bring company and relief to those who are suffering from philosophical thoughts. It can also bring love and fortune to those who carry a piece of it. The lyrics suggest that giving a piece of the moon as a dessert to children will make them sleep peacefully. Similarly, a few drops of moon in the eyes of the elderly help them wait for death in peace. The song mentions using a tender leaf of the moon under the pillow to think and see what one desires. It suggests having a pot with moon-like air on hand to breathe when one feels overwhelmed. To the disappointed and prisoners, the moon is mentioned as giving them the key. It suggests that they will not desire any other treasure, especially for those condemned to death or life imprisonment. The moon is portrayed as a powerful stimulant when taken in moderation.
