Tonto el que no entienda
Cuenta una leyenda
Que una hembra gitana
Conjuro a la luna
Hasta el amanecer
llorando pedia
Al llegar el dia
Desposar un calé
Tendras a tu hombre
Piel morena
Desde el cielo
Hablo la luna llena
Pero a cambio quiero
El hijo primero
Que le engendres a el
Que quien su hijo inmola
Para no estar sola
Poco le iba a querer
Luna quieres ser madre
Y no encuentras querer
Que te haga mujer
Dime luna de plata
Que pretendes hacer
con un nino de piel
hijo de la luna
De padre canela
Nacio un nino
Blanco como el lomo
De un armino
con los ojos grises
En vez de aceituna
Nino albino de luna
Maldita su estampa
Este hijo es de un payo
Y yo no me lo cayo
Y yo no me lo cayo
Gitano al creerse deshonrado
Se fue a su mujer
Cuchillo en mano
De quien es el hijo?
Me has enganado fijo
Y de muerte la hirio
Luego se hizo al monte
Con el nino en brazos
Y alli le abandono
Luna quiere ser madre
Y no encuentras querer
Que te haga mujer
Dime luna de plata
Que pretendes hacer
con un nino de piel
Hijo de la luna
Y en las noches
Que haya luna llena
Sera porque el nino
Este de buenas
Y si el nino llora
Menguara la luna
Para hacerle una cuna
Y si el nino llora
Menguara la luna para
Hacerle una cuna
(Fool who doesn't understand
A legend tells that a gipsy female
Conjured the moon until dawn
Crying she asked to marry
A gipsy man the next day
"You brown skin"
From the sky spoke the full moon
"In return I want the first child
That you have with him
Because who sacrifices children
For a man is not
Going to love them much"
(Chorus)
Moon you want to be a mother
And you can't find a love
Who makes you a woman
Tell the moon of silver
What you intend to do
With child of skin
Son of the moon
From a cinnamon skinned father
A son was born white
As the back of an "armino"
With gray eyes instead of olive,
Moon's albino son
"Damn this silhoutte!
This is a non-gipsy man's son
And you won't get away with this"
(Chorus)
When the gipsy feels dishonoured
Went towards her woman
Holding a knife
"Whose is this son?
I am sure you have cheated me!"
He hurt her to dead
Then he went to the fiver
With the child in his arms
And left him go into a boat
(Chorus)
And the nights the moon is full
Is because the child is happy
And if the child cries
The moon will diminish
For making a cot.)
