9. Hijo de la Luna (Mecano cover) (4:20)
[Mecano cover]
Tonto el que no entienda
Cuenta una leyenda
Que una hembra gitana
Conjuró la luna
Hasta el amanecer
Llorando pedía
Que al llegar el día
Desposara un carél
Tendrás a tu hombre
Piel morena
Desde el cielo habló
La luna llena
Pero a cambio quiero
El hijo primero
Que le engendres a él
Que quien su hijo inmola
Para no estar sola
¿Como le iba a querer?
Luna quieres ser madre
Y no encuentras querer que te hagan mujer
Dime luna de plata
¿Qué pretendes hacer con un niño de piel?
Hijo de la luna
De padre canela nació un niño
Blanco como el lomo de un armiño
Con los ojos grises en vez de aceituna
Niño albino de luna
Maldita su estampa
Este hijo es de un payo
Y yo no me lo cayo
Luna quieres ser madre
Y no encuentras querer que te hagan mujer
Dime luna de plata
¿Qué pretendes hacer con un niño de piel?
Hijo de la luna
Gitano al creerse deshonrado
Se fue a su mujer cuchillo en mano
¿De quién es el hijo?
Me has engañao fijo
Y de muerte la hirió
Luego se fué al monte
Con el niño en brazos
Y allí le abandonó
Y en las noches que haya luna llena
Será porque el niño esté de buenas
Y si el niño llora
Menguará la luna
Para hacerle una cuna
Y si el niño llora
Menguará la luna
Para hacerle una cuna
[English translation:]
Son Of The Moon
Fool whom don't understand
Tells a legend
That a gypsy female
Summoned the moon until the break of dawn
Crying she was asking
At the break of dawn
Spouse a cardel
but in exchange i want
the first of the children
you sire to him
Cause whom inmoles her son
for not being alone
how was she supposed to love him?
Moon,you want to be a mother
And you can't seem to find wishes
to make you a woman
Tell me silver moon
what do you pretend to do,
with a child made of skin?
Son of the moon
Of cinnamon father borned the child
white as the back of a ermine
with the eyes grey
instead of olive
Albine child of the moon
Cursed your resemblance
This kid is of a Payan
And i dont save it for myself
Gypsy for believing dishonored
Went to his woman with knife at hand
whose this child?
you have cheated me well
And wounded her deadly
Then he made it to the mountain
with the kid in arms
and there he abandoned him
And when the nights of full moon
Will be 'cause the kid has the mood
And if the child cries
Moon will diminish itself
Just to build him a crib
And if the child cries
Moon will diminish itself
Just to build him a crib
[Payan is an adjective reffering to an old tribe in Chile. According to history, spanish conquerors forced them to be their slaves with their arrival to the Coast of Payos]
