"Una luna de miel en la mano" (pronounced [una ˈluna ðe ˈmjel en la ˈmano]; Spanish for "a honeymoon in the hand")—often referred to as "Luna de miel"—is a song by Argentine new wave band Virus, taken from their fifth studio album Locura.
He would later also write the lyrics for "Encuentro en el río musical", a song from the band's 1987 album Superficies de placer.
[1] In 2012, the Argentine edition of Rolling Stone considered the song's lyrics to be an example of the band's characteristic use of ambiguity and provocation.
Like other compositions from Locura, it features sexual metaphors, although in a less explicit manner than songs like "Pronta entrega" or "Sin disfraz".
[4] They are inspired by a fictional play that appears in James Joyce's 1922 novel Ulysses, composed by character Buck Mulligan and titled Everyman His Own Wife Or, A Honeymoon in the Hand: A National Immorality in Three Orgasms.
