I wrote this over a decade ago when I spoke better Spanish than today. Today you have my best translation of it (the original in Spanish is below).

The Moon

The moon is new, tonight she’s invisible;
I want to see her.
When the clouds shroud her and the dusk air cools,
And the world is saddened; I want to go beyond the clouds
To be, there.
The moon, when full is the fountain of the soul, you see?
Bursting with enthusiasm, bubbling with life
For her, I aspire, I prefer
The moon in the city, guarded by a landscape of the built.
Her light giving sweetness even to concrete, and the people are grateful.
It can make you believe. In her.

The original:
La Luna

La luna esta nueva, esta noche no se ve.
La quiero ver.
Cuando las nubes la esconden y el ambiente se enfrie
Y el mundo se pone triste, yo quiero pasar las nubes
Y llegar a ser.
La luna, cuando esta llena, es el fuente del alma, ¿lo ves?
Reventando el entusiasmo, burbujeando con vida
Un gol para obtener
La luna en la ciudad, el paisaje del edificio la cuida
Su luz alegra hasta el concreto y la gente lo aprecía
Y te puede hacer creer.
