Hijo de la Luna [English translation]

Don't misunderstand me

and wait until the ending

of a gypsy legend

telling of a woman who prays to the moon in the sky

crying she was asking

pleading until sunrise

if she could marry today

"You will have you husband

darker coat but

you will have to promise"

said the moon "that

the first son he gives you

will be mine at want,

and that's the price you shall pay

If you sacrifice him not to be alone

then you would barely love him

Moon you want to be mother

when you can't find a love

so what will you do

tell me silvery moon

what will happen to you

with a kid made of skin

Hijo de la Luna

So the boy was born from

the dark father

but his skin was pale as

snow in winter

his eyes weren't olive

as they had expected

he was son of the moon

"This is a betrayal

he isn't my son,

and you, you've dishonored my name."

Moon you want to be mother

when you can't find a love

so what will you do

tell me silvery moon

what will happen to you

with a kid made of skin

Hijo de la Luna

Man was made unconscious

by his anger

grabbed the woman violently

knife in hand and

shouted with a cymbal

"How dare you deceive me!"

Then, he hurt her to death

Grabbing small albino

he went into the mountain

and abandoned him there

Moon you want to be mother

when you can't find a love

so what will you do

tell me silvery moon

what will happen to you

with a kid made of skin

Hijo de la Luna

If the moon becomes full

son is sleeping

but if she is half

he'll be weeping

so she'll be his cradle

lower than diminish

and embrace him again

so she'll be his cradle

lower than diminish

and embrace him again
