Romance del sol y la luna

Romance of the Sun and the Moon
The sun said to the moon:
"I can't bear it anymore,
centuries of searching for you
and not being able to find you."
And the moon replies:
"It's not your fault, solar king,
it's my night job,
there's no time for love."
"But I wonder, little moon,
could there be another reason?
Are you loving someone else,
while I burn with passion?"
"It's not true, lord of fire,
your passion is essential,
our love is different
and must continue this way."
The sun covered itself with clouds,
sadness and anger to cry,
against the moon's coldness
it let its love shine.
