Foolish is the one who doesn't understandTonto el que no entienda
There's a legend that goesCuenta una leyenda
A gypsy womanQue una hembra gitana

Until the break of dawnHasta el amanecer
Crying, she beggedLlorando pedía
When the day arrivedAl llegar el día
To marry a gypsy manDesposar un cale

You'll have yourTendrás a tu
Dark-skinned manHombre piel morena
From the skyDesde el cielo
Spoke the full MoonHablo la Luna llena
But in return, I wantPero a cambio quiero

For whoever sacrifices her daughterQue quien su hija inmola
To not be alonePara no estar sola

Went to his wifeSe fue a su mujer
With a knife in handCuchillo en mano
Whose daughter is this?¿De quien es la hija?

And if the girl criesY si la niña llora
The Moon will waneMenguara la Luna
To make her a cradlePara hacerle una cuna
And if the girl criesY si la niña llora
The Moon will waneMenguara la Luna
To make her a cradlePara hacerle una cuna
