For those who don't misunderstand

The legend tells

Of that gypsy

Who prays to the white and high moon in the sky

While she smiled

She begged her, "Make him come back to me"

You will have that dark-skinned man again

With his forgiveness, impure woman

But in exchange, I want

Your first child to come and stay with me

Who sacrifices her child

To not be alone, unworthy of a king

Moon, now you are a mother

But who made you a woman without arms?

Tell me, silver moon

How will you cradle him if you don't have arms?

Son of the moon

A child was born in spring

From that dark-skinned father like smoke

With fair skin

Eyes like a lagoon

Like a son of the moon

"This is a betrayal!

He is not my son and no, I don't want him"

Moon, now you are a mother

But who made you a woman without arms?

Tell me, silver moon

How will you cradle him if you don't have arms?

Son of the moon

The mad gypsy in pain

Caught right in the center of honor

He grabbed her, screaming

He kissed her, crying, then plunged the blade

He ran up a mountain

With the baby in his arms and left him there

Moon, now you are a mother

But who made you a woman without arms?

Tell me, silver moon

How will you cradle him if you don't have arms?

Son of the moon!

If the full moon then becomes

Because the baby sleeps well

But if he is crying

She rocks him, lowers and becomes a cradle

But if he is crying

She rocks him, lowers and becomes a cradle
