Tonto el que no entienda
Fool who doesn't understand
Cuenta una leyenda
A legend tells
Que una hembra gitana
That a gypsy female
Conjuro a la luna hasta el amanecer
I conjure the moon until dawn
Llorando pedía
Crying asked
Al llegar el día
When the day came
Desposar un calé
Marrying a colossar
Tendrás a tu hombre piel morena
You'll have your man brown skin
Desde el cielo hablo la luna llena
From the sky I speak the full moon
Pero a cambio quiero
But in return I want
El hijo primero
The first child
Que le engendres a el
Beget him
Que quien su hijo inmola
Whoever your child immolaes
Para no estar sola
Not to be alone
Poco le iba a querer
Little was going to love him
Luna quieres ser madre
Luna you want to be a mother
Y no encuentras querer
And you can't find a want
Que te haga mujer
Make you a woman
Dime luna de plata
Tell me silver moon
Que pretendes hacer
What you intend to do
Con un niño de piel
With a fur child
Hijo de la luna
Son of the moon
De padre canela nació un niño
A child was born to a cinnamon father
Blanco como el lomo de un armiño
White as the back of an ermine
Con los ojos grises
With grey eyes
En vez de aceituna
Instead of olives
Niño albino de luna
Moon albino child
Maldita su estampa
Damn his print
Este hijo es de un payo
This son is from a clown
Y yo no me lo cayo
And I didn't give it to him
Gitano al creerse deshonrado
Gypsy believing himself dishonored
Se fue a su mujer cuchillo en mano
He went to his wife knife in hand
De quien es el hijo?
Whose son is he?
Me has engaño fijo
You've fixed deceit me
Y de muerte la hirió
And when he died he hurt her
Luego se hizo al monte
Then it was done to the mountain
Con el niño en brazos
With the child in his arms
Y allí le abandono
And there I abandon him
Y en las noches que haya luna llena
And on nights when there's a full moon
Sera porque el niño este de buenas
It will be because the child is of good
Y si el niño llora
And if the child cries
Menguara la luna
The moon wanes
Para hacerle una cuna
To make him a crib
Y si el niño llora
And if the child cries
Menguara la luna
The moon wanes
Para hacerle una cuna
To make him a crib
