Hijo de la Luna [English translation]

He's stupid that doesn't understand

The legend tells

That a gypsy women

Conjured the moon until the dawn

And crying, she asked

Upon the coming of day

To marry a man

"You will have a man of brown skin"

Said the moon in the sky

"But in return, I want

The first son

That you have with him

The one who would sacrifice their son

To not be alone

Would love him very little

Chorus

Moon, you want to be a mother

And you can't find the love

That makes a woman

Tell me, silver moon,

What would you do

With a child of the flesh?

Child of the moon

Of a father with cinnamon skin a boy is born

White as an ermine's back

With grey eyes

Instead of olive

Albino child of the moon

"Curse your imprint!

This is a child of an albino

And I will not hold my silence!"

Chorus

Upon believing himself dishonored

He went to his wife, knife in hand

"Whose child is this?

You have cheated me!"

And he stabbed her to death

Then went to the mountain

With his child in his arms

And abandoned him there.

Chorus

And when there is a full moon in the night

It is because the child is happy

And if the child cries,

The moon will wane

To become his crib

And if the child cries,

The moon will wane

To become his crib
