It occurs to me that I promised to release a transcription of the lyrics for Tarkio's song "Eva Luna" back in January and again in April. Despite a small but steady stream of people visiting in hope of finding such lyrics, nobody had the guts to call me out on this oversight. As I noted back in April, the lyrics are still rough (read: there are some lines which I am not sure of), so if you notice errors (of which there are many), just add a comment complaining. Since I do not want to be constantly updating this post, I have put the lyrics in a text file (yay for plaintext!):
Never heard the song and want to know what all the fuss is about? For a limited time (less than a week), Eva Luna is available here.
I suspect that the title of the song comes from a novel of the same name by Isabel Allende; although having not read it, I cannot point to any similarity in themes or events. Any insight on this matter would be appreciated.

Beginning of the second verse....I heard Dulcinea...as in Don Quixote...could be wrong.

This sounds good enough to me that I have changed the text file. Thanks, Sar.

I think the line you're unsure of in the second verse "dipped in a [rigarun?]" is actally "dipped in Erigeron", a genus of flowering plants.
