Hijo de la Luna [English translation]

foolish the one who couldn't understand

The legend tells

that a gipsy woman

made a magic spell to the moon til the dawn

crying she ask her

when the day begin

to marry a calé (*)

You will have a dark-skinned man

the moon told her from above

but I want in exchange for it

your first son

that you had with him

the one who sacrifice her one son

for not be alone

she wouldn't love him very much

Moon want to be mother

but you don't find anyone to love

to make you a woman

tell me silver moon

what you trying to do

with a baby made of skin

Son of the moon

From a dark-skinned father, born a child

white as the spine of an ermine

with gray eyes

instead olive-colored eyes

Albino moon child

damn you

This chid is from a payo(*)

and I won't be silent

The gipsy man beleaving dishonored

He went to his wife knife in hand

whose is this child from?

you cheat me for sure

and wounding her to death

then he went to the mountain

taking the baby in his arms

and there he abandoned him

In the evenings with a full moon

it will be cause the child is good

and if the child cries

the moon will wanes

to make a cradle

and if the child cries

the moon will wanes

to make a cradle
