MOON RIVER

tema de la película "Desayuno con diamantes" (Breakfast at Tiffany's)

Music HENRY MANCINI & Lyrics JOHNNY MERCER

Moon River,
Wider than a mile:
I’m crossin’ you in style
Some day.
Old dream maker,
You heart breaker,
Wherever your goin’,
I’m goin’ your way:
Two drifters,
Off to see the world,
There’s such a lot of world
To see.
We’re after the same
Rainbow’s end
Waitin’ round the bend,
My huckleberry friend,
Moon River and me.

Holly aparenta ser una mujer, joven, que lleva una vida despreocupada en busca de hombres ricos que la mantengan durante una temporada (su banalidad se ve reflejada en sus desayunos enfrentada al escaparate de la joyería de la 5ª avenida después de las fiestas hasta el amanecer que frecuenta). Paul es un escritor pobre que coincidirá en la vida de esta joven que huye de su realidad...

«I don't want to own anything until I find a place where me and things go together.
I'm not sure where that is, but I know what it's like. It's like Tiffany's.»

«Poor old cat. Poor slob. Poor slob without a name. The way I look at it, I don't have the right to give him one. We don't belong to each other.
We just took up by the river one day.»
