Hijo de la Luna [English translation]

Who doesn't understand is an idiot:

The legend tells

That a gypsy woman

Conjured the moon until dawn

Crying, she would ask

To marry a gypsy

When the day arrives

"You will have your man, ebony-skinned!"

From the sky spoke the full moon

"But in return I want

The first son

You will give birth to

Because the woman who sacrifices her child

In order not to be alone

Wouldn't love him very much"

Chorus:

Moon, you want to become a mother

But you can't find a love

Which could make you a woman

Silver Moon, tell me

What are you going to do

With a child of flesh

Child of the Moon

From a cinnamon-skinned man a baby was born

White as the back of an ermine,

With gray eyes

Instead of olive

The albino child of the moon

"Damn you!

This isn't a son of a gypsy man

And I won't be silent about it!"

Chorus

The gypsy man, believing he was dishonored

Went to his wife, a knife in his hand

"Whose is this child?

You must have cheated on me!"

And he wounded her to death

Then he went to the mountain

With the child in his arms

And he forsook it there

Chorus

And at some nights the moon is full

That's because the child is in a good mood

And if it cries,

The moon shall wane

To serve as a cradle

And if it cries,

The moon shall wane

To serve as a cradle
