Hijo De La Luna Lyrics in English Montserrat Caballé
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Hijo De La Luna by Montserrat Caballé from Spanish to English.
Tonto el que no entienda
Foolish is the one that does not understand
Cuenta una leyenda
A legend tells
Que una hembra gitana
That a gypsy woman
Conjuró a la luna hasta el amanecer
Conjured the moon until dawn
Llorando pedía
Crying she asked
Al llegar el día
When the day arrived
Desposar un calé
To marry a gypsy man
Tendrás a tu hombre piel morena
You will have your man with dark skin
Desde el cielo habló la luna llena
From the sky spoke the full moon
Pero a cambio quiero
But in return I want
El hijo primero
The first son
Que le engendres a él
That you beget with him
Que quien su hijo inmola
That whoever sacrifices their son
Para no estar sola
To not be alone
Poco le iba a querer
Will love him little
Luna quieres ser madre
Moon, you want to be a mother
Y no encuentras querer
And you can't find love
Que te haga mujer
That makes you a woman
Dime luna de plata
Tell me, silver moon
Qué pretendes hacer
What do you intend to do
Con un niño de piel
With a child of skin
Hijo de la Luna
Child of the Moon
De padre canela nació un niño
From a cinnamon father a child was born
Blanco como el lomo de un armiño
White like the back of an ermine
Con los ojos grises
With gray eyes
En vez de aceituna
Instead of olive
Niño albino de luna
Albino child of the moon
Maldita su estampa
Damn his appearance
Este hijo es de un payo
This child is of a non-gypsy
Y yo no me lo cayo
And I won't keep quiet
Luna quieres ser madre
Moon, you want to be a mother
Y no encuentras querer
And you can't find love
Que te haga mujer
That makes you a woman
Dime luna de plata
Tell me, silver moon
Qué pretendes hacer
What do you intend to do
Con un niño de piel
With a child of skin
Hijo de la Luna
Child of the Moon
Gitano al creerse deshonrado
Gypsy, believing himself dishonored
Se fue a su mujer cuchillo en mano
Went to his woman with a knife in hand
De quién es el hijo?
Whose child is this?
Me has engaño fijo
You have surely deceived me
Y de muerte la hirió
And he fatally wounded her
Luego se hizo al monte
Then he went to the mountain
Con el niño en brazos
With the child in his arms
Y allí le abandonó
And there he abandoned him
Luna quieres ser madre
Moon, you want to be a mother
Y no encuentras querer
And you can't find love
Que te haga mujer
That makes you a woman
Dime luna de plata
Tell me, silver moon
Qué pretendes hacer
What do you intend to do
Con un niño de piel
With a child of skin
Hijo de la Luna
Child of the Moon
Y en las noches que haya luna llena
And on nights when there is a full moon
Será porque el niño esté de buenas
It will be because the child is in a good mood
Y si el niño llora
And if the child cries
Menguará la luna
The moon will wane
Para hacerle una cuna
To make him a cradle
Y si el niño llora
And if the child cries
Menguará la luna
The moon will wane
Para hacerle una cuna
To make him a cradle
