| LYRICS |
Fools that do not listen
Do not heed the legend
Of a young Romani girl who pleaded pity
from the moon in the sky
Weeping, the poor girl begged
For her man with eyes like slate
Until break of day

"You shall have your husband, olive maiden,
But in turn, I want in exchange for him
That you grant me one wish
The first child you bear him
You must give to be mine
Surely, if you grant me a
Sweet child for company
Soon, he'll be gone from memory"

[CHORUS]
Why the moon wants a child
Maybe we'll never know, but she does
love him so
With your gleaming arms of silver
You can shine through the age
But you can't rock a babe
Hijo de la luna

The father, expecting some resemblance
Shocked to see instead of his own dark skin
That the child gleamed white
Pale and blanched as moonlight
Eyes like clouds in the sky
"Surely you have tricked me!
I won't hear your petty lies
I won't claim him as mine"

[CHORUS]

The husband, believing he was betrayed
Went after his wife with a knife in rage
"That is not my child! Bastard all the while"
She did not live to day
Taking the boy with him, up he scaled the mountain
There the child was abandoned

[CHORUS]

When you see a full moon, remember this
She is sated because her child's content
But the moment he cries, she wanes to a crescent crib
And sings lullabies
Y si el niño llora, menguará la luna
Para hacerle una cuna
