Tonto el que no entienda.
|
|
Cuenta una leyenda
|
Que una hembra gitana
|
Conjur?a la luna
|
Hasta el amanecer.
|
Llorando ped?
|
Al llegar el d?
|
Desposar un cal?
|
|
"Tendr? a tu hombre,
|
Piel morena,"
|
Desde el cielo
|
Habl?la luna llena.
|
"Pero a cambio quiero
|
El hijo primero
|
Que le engendres a ?.
|
Que quien su hijo inmola
|
Para no estar sola
|
Poco le iba a querer."
|
|
Estribillo:
|
Luna quieres ser madre
|
Y no encuentras querer
|
Que te haga mujer.
|
Dime, luna de plata,
|
Qu?pretendes hacer
|
Con un ni? de piel.
|
A-ha-ha, a-ha-ha,
|
Hijo de la luna.
|
|
De padre canela
|
Naci?un ni?
|
Blanco como el lomo
|
De un armi?,
|
Con los ojos grises
|
En vez de aceituna --
|
Ni? albino de luna.
|
"ĦMaldita su estampa!
|
Este hijo es de un payo
|
Y yo no me lo callo."
|
|
Estribillo
|
|
Gitano al creerse deshonrado,
|
Se fue a su mujer,
|
Cuchillo en mano.
|
"żDe quien es el hijo?
|
Me has enga?do fijo."
|
Y de muerte la hiri?
|
Luego se hizo al monte
|
Con el ni? en brazos
|
Y all?le abandono.
|
|
Estribillo
|
|
Y en las noches
|
Que haya luna llena
|
Ser?porque el ni?
|
Est?de buenas.
|
Y si el ni? llora
|
Menguar?la luna
|
Para hacerle una cuna.
|
Y si el ni? llora
|
Menguar?la luna
|
Para hacerle una cuna.

[English translation:]

|
Foolish who doesn't understand
|
Tells a legend
|
That a gypsy woman
|
Conjured to the moon until sunrise
|
Crying she was asking
|
Coming the day
|
To marry a gypsy man
|
|
You you have your man of dark skin
|
From heaven spoke the full moon
|
But in return I want
|
The first son
|
That you beget from him
|
Whoever sacrifices his son
|
Not to be alone
|
Would barely love him
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Moon wants to be mother
|
And you don't find a lover
|
Who can make you woman
|
Tell me silver moon
|
what do you expect to do
|
with a kid of skin
|
Son of the moon
|
|
From a cinnamon father a boy was born
|
White as the back of an ermine
|
With the eyes grey
|
Instead of olive
|
Albino boy of moon
|
Damn his stamp
|
This son is from a non-gipsy
|
And I won't shut up
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Gypsy man believing himself dishonored
|
Went to his woman knife in hand
|
Who's son is this?
|
You've cheated on me permanently
|
And he hurted her to dead
|
Then he went to the mount
|
With the kid in his arms
|
And he abandoned him there
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
And in the nights with full moon
|
It will be because the kid is in a good mood
|
Aand if the boy cries
|
The moon will lessen
|
To make him a cradle
|
And if the boy cries
|
The moon will lessen
|
To make him a cradle
|
