Hijo de la Luna [English translation]

A fool is he who doesn't understand

a legend tells

that a gypsy woman

implored the moon

weeping, she begged till dawn

to marry a gypsy man

"you'll have your brown-skin man"

spoke the full moon from the sky

"but in retun I want the

the first child

that you have with him,"

one who sacrifices her child

in order not to be alone

is not going

to love it very much

- Chorus -

Moon you want to be mother

and you can't find a love

who makes you a woman.

Tell me, moon of silver

what you intend to do

with a child of flesh

ahhh, ahhh

Son of the Moon

From a cinnamon-skinned father a son

was born

white like an ermine's belly

with gray eyes

instead of olive,

moon's albino son

"Dam his appearence!

This is not a gypsy man's son

and you won't get away with this"

- Chorus -

the qypsy believing himself dishonored

went to his wife, knife in hand

"Whose son in this?

I am sure yu have decieved me!"

and he stabbed her to death

then he went to the mountain

with the child in his arms

and abandoned it there

- Chorus -

And on nights when the moon is full

it's because the child is happy

and if the child cries

the moon will wane

to make him a cradle

and if the child cries

the moon will wane to make him a cradle
