 这首《月亮河》是电影Breakfast at Tiffany's中的插曲,于1961年获第34届奥斯卡最佳电影歌曲奖。这部电影描写一位农村姑娘在纽约的生活经历。这位农村姑娘名叫霍莉·戈莱特利,她向往上流社会的生活,一心想嫁给一个百万富翁,于是到纽约去寻找一个“理想归宿”。结果,在纽约谋生困难,她只好去作应召女郎。她结识了一位与她住邻居的年轻作家,他们过着一种奇特而又充满激情的生活,经历了一次又喜又恼的恋爱。《纽约时报》的影评说:霍莉·戈莱特利是一个“野东西”,扮演霍莉的海普伯恩小姐是个天生具有魅力的小精灵,谁看了都会相信她,称赞她。



    歌唱者把“Moon River”拟人化,向她倾诉心肠。月亮河很宽,但是歌唱者表示将来总有一天要把她体面地渡过,有征服困难的决心。正是这条令人向往的河又使人肝肠寸断。但不管怎样,歌者还是愿意随她前往任何她流经的地方,表达了一种知难而进的决心。接着歌者自比为两个漂泊者出来看世界,坚持不懈地追求彩虹的尽头,即欢乐的境界,月亮河和歌者仍是亲密无间的好朋友。最后四行重复前面的内容,再次表达了歌者追求美好生活的愿望。
