Lyrics

Haggard - Hijo De La Luna

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

[Chorus]

Luna quieres ser madre
Y no encuentras querer
Que te haga mujer
Dime luna de plata
Que pretendes hacer
Con un niño de piel
Hijo de la luna

De padre canela nacio un niño
Blanco como el lomo de un armiñoHaggard - Hijo De La Luna - http://motolyrics.com/haggard/hijo-de-la-luna-lyrics-english-translation.html
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

[Chorus]

Gitano al creerse deshonrado
Se fue a su mujer cuchillo en mano
¯de quien es el hijo?
Me has engaño fijo
Y de muerte la hirio
Luego se hizo al monte
Con el niño en brazos
Y alli le abandono

[Chorus]

Y en las noches que haya luna llena
Sera porque el niño este de buenas
Y si el niño llora
Menguara la luna
Para hacerle una cuna
Y si el niño llora
Menguara la luna
Para hacerle una cuna

Haggard - Child Of The Moon (English translation)

Who doesn't understand is an fool
The legend tells
That a gypsy woman
Conjured the moon until dawn
Crying, she would ask
To marry a gypsy
When the day arrived
"You will have your dark-skinned man"
From the sky spoke the full moon
"But in return I want
The firstborn son
You give birth to
Because whoever sacrifices their child
In order not to be alone
Wouldn't love him very much"

Chorus:

Moon, you want to become a mother
But you can't find who to love
That could make you a woman
Tell me, silver Moon,
What are you going to do
With a child made of flesh
Child of the Moon

From a cinnamon-skinned man was born a babyHaggard - Hijo De La Luna - http://motolyrics.com/haggard/hijo-de-la-luna-lyrics-english-translation.html
White as the back of an ermine,
With gray eyes
Instead of olive
An albino child of the moon
"Damn you!
This child is not a gypsy
And I won't be silent about it!"

Chorus

The gypsy man, believing he was dishonored
Went to his wife, knife in hand
"Whose is this child?
You must have cheated on me!"
And he wounded her to death
Then he went to the scrubland
With the child in his arms
And he forsook it there

Chorus

And at when in the night the moon is full
It means that the child is in a good mood
And if he cries,
Then the moon shall wane
To serve as a cradle
And if he cries,
The moon shall wane
To serve as a cradle
