Hijo de la luna

A legend tells
that a gypsy woman
conjured the moon
until dawn
weeping she asked
as the day arrived
to marry a Calé
you will have a man with dark skin
from the sky spoke the full moon
but in return I want
the first child
that you bear to him
"moon wants to be a mother
and may she not find someone to love who makes her a woman
tell me silver moon
what do you intend to do with a child of skin
son of the moon.
from a cinnamon father a child was born
white like the back of a ermine
with gray eyes instead of olive
albino child of the moon.
"chorus"
gypsy, feeling dishonored
took his wife, knife in hand
whose child is this,
make it clear to me
and he wounded her to death
"chorus"
and the nights when there's a full moon
it will be because the child is in good spirits
and if the child cries
to make him a cradle
and if the child cries
to make him a cradle
