Why the Moon Doesn't Need to Come Out | Viernes con una Letra

I have been anxiously awaiting the full moon.  I have my reasons.

But according to this letra, no moon is necessary...

No salga la luna
que no tiene pa qué,
con los ojitos de mi compañera
yo m'alumbraré.

The moon shouldn't come out,
it has no reason to, 
by the eyes of my love*
I'll be lit up.

*Trying to translate the sentido of compañera to English in this letra was not easy.  I chose love.  If you like another word, let me know below.
