Hijo De La Luna
Loona Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cuenta una leyenda
Que una hembra gitana
Conjuró a la luna hasta el amanecer
Llorando pedía
Al llegar el día
Desposar un calé
Desde el cielo habló la luna llena
Pero a cambio quiero
El hijo primero
Que le engendres a él
Que quien su hijo inmola
Para no estar sola
Poco le iba a querer
Luna quieres ser madre
Y no encuentras querer
Que te haga mujer
Dime luna de plata
Que pretendes hacer
Con un niño de piel, Ah, ah
Hijo de la luna
De padre canela nació un niño
Blanco como el lomo de un armiño
Con los ojos grises
En vez de aceituna
Niño albino de luna
Maldita su estampa
Este hijo es de un payo
Y yo no me lo callo
Luna quieres ser madre
Y no encuentras querer
Que te haga mujer
Dime luna de plata
Que pretendes hacer
Con un niño de piel, Ah, ah
Hijo de la luna
Gitano al creerse deshonrado
Se fue a su mujer cuchillo en mano
De quién es el hijo?
Me has engañado fijo
Y de muerte la hirió
Luego se hizo al monte
Con el niño en brazos
Y allí le abandonó
Luna quieres ser madre
Y no encuentras querer
Que te haga mujer
Dime luna de plata
Que pretendes hacer
Con un niño de piel, Ah, ah
Hijo de la luna
Y las noches que haya luna llena
Será porque el niño esté de buenas
Y si el niño llora
Menguará la luna
Para hacerle una cuna
Y si el niño llora
Menguará la luna
Para hacerle una cuna
The lyrics to Loona's "Hijo De La Luna" tell a story passed down through legend about a gypsy woman who conjured the moon until dawn, crying and asking to be married to a man of her kind. The moon agrees, but in exchange, she demands the first child born to the couple, whom she will raise as her own. The child is born white like an ermine's back, with grey eyes instead of olive. The child's father disowns him, believing him to be the son of a non-gypsy man, and the mother is wounded when the father threatens her with a knife. The father leaves the baby on the mountainside, and the moon cares for him, making a crib of her dwindling light each time he cries.
On the one hand, this song is a tale of Star-Crossed Lovers, where the moon itself desires a child and would go as far as using deception and manipulation to get what she wants. The story of the child's parents being from different classes highlights the theme of discrimination, both within the gypsy community and towards outsiders.
On the other hand, "Hijo De La Luna" is also a song that critiques parental expectations, religious dogma, and societal constructs. The song tells that the mother who surrendered the child was forced to give up her baby in exchange for marrying the man she loved. The father kills the mother because he believed that the baby was the result of the mother's infidelity. The song also critiques the society's obsession with ethnic purity, leading to a tragic break up of a family.
