Hijo de la Luna [English translation]

Fools who do not understand

the legend

There was a Gypsy woman

pleading to the Moon until dawn

asking, crying:

The day she was

going to marry

"Your man will have brown skin."

said the full Moon

But in return I want

the first child

that you have with him.

The one who sacrifices the child

will not be alone,

little to love him

CHORUS:

The Moon want to be a mother

but cannot find the love

that makes you a woman.

Tell me, Moon of silver,

What do you plan to do,

With a child of Flesh? (Aah, Aah..)

Child of the Moon

The brown father's child was born

White like the back of a ermine

with gray eyes

instead of olive

The Moon's albino child.

"Damn your appearance!

This child is an albino,

And I will not put up with that."

(CHORUS)

The gypsy man feeling disgraced,

He went to his wife, a knife in hand.

"Whose child is this?

You must have tricked me!"

And he killed the mother.

Then he went to the mountain

With the child in his arms

And abandoned him there.

(CHORUS)

And at night, the moon is full

When the child is good.

And if the child cries,

the Moon wanes

to make a cradle.

If the child cries,

the Moon wanes

to make a cradle.
