Luna de todas la noches
Iluminame esta noche
Dime si ella es la reina
Y la dueña de todo mi amor
Moon of all nights
Illuminate this night for me
Tell me if she is the queen
And the owner of all my love
Luna, lunita, lunera*
Luna llena, luna perla
Dime si ella es la reina
Y la dueña de todo mi amor
Moon, moonie, mooner moon
Full moon, pearl moon
Tell me if she is the queen
And the owner of all my love
-----------------------------------
Refrain:
Y dime si ella es de mi voz la piel
Y dime si ella es mi razón de ser*
And tell me if she is the skin of my voice
And tell me if she is my reason for being
-----------------------------------
Luna de tantos amores
Luna viva, luna hermosa
Dime si ella es la reina
Y la dueña de todo mi amor
Moon of so many loves
Moon alive, gorgeous moon
Tell me if she is the queen
And the owner of all my love
Luna de noches en grima*
Luna de la nochecita
Dime si ella es la reina
Y la dueña de todo mi amor
Moon of uneasy nights
Moon of the darling night
Tell me if she is the queen
And the owner of all my love
[Refrain: "Y dime si..."]
Ah ahh ahhh ahhhh
-----------------------------------
Chorus:
Yo te doy todo mi amor
Luna de mi corazón
Yo te doy todo mi amor
Si tú me lo cuentas todo
I give you all my love
Moon of my heart
I give you all my love
If you tell me all of it
Luna yo todo te doy
Luna de mi corazón
Yo te doy todo mi amor
Si tú me lo cuentas todo
Moon, I give you everything
Moon of my heart
I give you all my love
If you tell me all of it
-----------------------------------
Luna luna, lunita lunera
Cascabelera bendita
Se ha venido al umbraje de andaluz
Que viene cargando esta cruz
Y dime de una vez si es ella la que yo quiero
Moon moon, darling nocturnal moon
Blessed little scatterbrain
It has arrived to the Andalusian shadow
That comes bearing this cross
And tell me once and for all if she is the one who I love
Luna luna, lunita lunera
Dime todos tus secretos
Moon moon, darling nocturnal moon
Tell me all your secrets
(Guitar solo)
[Refrain: "Y dime si..."]
Ah ahh ahhh ahhhh
[Chorus: "Yo te doy todo mi amor...", x2]
(Luna luna, lunita lunera...)
Translation Notes:
Luna, lunita, lunera
Luna = moon
Lunita = luna + -ita (diminutive, affectionate suffix) = little moon
Lunera = implies nocturnal, someone who likes to spend time in the moonlight
I translated the line differently in different places.
Moon, moonie, mooner moon - gets the alliteration
Moon, darling nocturnal moon - strings the words together

Y dime si ella es de mi voz la piel
And tell me if she is the skin of my voice
And tell me if she is of my voice the skin [lit.]
---
razón de ser (Spanish) = raison d'être (French) = reason for being (English)
---
Luna de noches en grima = Moon of uneasy nights
Noches de grima is not a common phrase. I searched for it online and it only came up in this Juanes song. Grima is related to English "grim."
The line might also mean, "moon of less happy nights."

By the way, in other contexts, cascabel = the rattle of a rattlesnake. Random vocabulary for you.
