Figlio della Luna [English translation]

Those who do not understand

Tell the legend

Of a gypsy woman

Who asked the moon

White and high up on the sky

While she was smiling

She begged it

«Make him come back to me»

«You'll have that man again

With his dark skin

Along with his regret

Impure woman

But in return I want

Your first son

To come and stay with me»

Whoever sacrifices his/her son

To not be alone

Is not worthy of a king

Moon, now you're a mother

But you can't

Be a woman

Tell me silver moon

How will you cradle him

If you have no arms

Son of the moon

In spring a baby boy

Was born

From that dark father

As the smoke

With his white skin

And the eyes of a lagoon

Like a son of the moon

«This is a betrayal

He is not my son

And I, I don't want him»

Moon, now you're a mother

But you can't

Be a woman

Tell me silver moon

How will you cradle him

If you have no arms

Son of the moon

The gypsy man mad

Of pain

Caught right in the middle

Feeling dishonored

Grabbed her, screaming

Kissing her while he was crying

Then he sank the blade

He ran over the mountain

With his child in his arms

And he left him there

Moon, now you're a mother

But you can't

Be a woman

Tell me silver moon

How will you cradle him

If you have no arms

Son of the moon

If the moon

Is full

It's because the child

Sleeps well

But if he's crying

The moon lessen

To make him a cradle

But if he's crying

The moon lessen

To make him a cradle
