MECANO - HIJO DE LA LUNA


A fool is he who doesn't understand
a legend tells
that a gypsy woman
implored the moon
weeping, she begged till dawn
to marry a gypsy man
"you'll have your brown-skin man"
spoke the full moon from the sky
"but in retun I want the
the first child
that u have with him,"
one who sacrifices her child
in order not to be alone
is not going
to love it very much

Moon u want to be mother
and u can't find a love
who makes u a woman.
Tell me, moon of silver
what u intend to do
with a child of flesh
ahhh, ahhh
Son of the Moon

From a cinnamon-skinned father a son
was born
white like an ermine's...
