It's in this version that it was presented for the first time in France in 1986; before Mecano offers a French version a little later. And that's also how I prefer it "in its own juice". This song is much more beautiful in Spanish than in French. And yet I don't speak Spanish and am French. I was sure you'd say "Jeanne Mas" :)

This beautiful song by "Mecano" was a great success in Chile too ... The lyrics tell the story of a magical pact that a young gypsy girl makes with the Moon to get the love of a gypsy boy ... This legend with a tragic ending had such an impact on my 80s childhood that later, during my university years (in the 90s), it was the inspiration for a stop-motion video that I made for a class and with which I and my classmates obtained an excellent grade 😁😂 ... Unfortunately this video was lost along with many other of my archives from that time.😏😁

Mecano is probably the most successful pop group in the history of Spanish pop music. The had many hits in Spaing. Almost their entire discography is well known by Spanish audience. Techno, electronic, orchestral, flamenco and all the styles you can imagine. The song-writers of the songs are Cano brothers (that's why they are called Mecano) and their rivalry as composers was quite big. It made them create a lot of good songs. In fact, they are part of the group, the femail is Ana Torroja. A singer with a very peculiar voice. Give a chance for example to Mujer contra Mujer (Number 1 in Spain and France). A song about a lesbian relationship from the 80's:kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnO2iH1sgKx3jJo&ab_channel=Carmenuela

You are right, the theme of the song is dark. The titel means ‘child of the moon’ and the woman in the story made a sort of ‘deal with the devil’: in exchange for love, she had to sacrifice her first-born child (to the moon).

Sorry, but I think you got the story all wrong. The song is inspired by a gypsy legend and the belief of different cultures about the Moon. In its lyrics the story of a gypsy woman who falls in love with a man from a tribe opposed to hers, and because of that they cannot be together. In desperation, the woman conjures the Moon so she can get the man she loves. The Moon answers her prayers, but tells her that she must give his first-born child in exchange. Finally, the couple flees and get married, however, when their first child is born, his skin and eyes are opposite to gypsy genetics because his skin was white and his eyes were gray. Because of this, the man feels betrayed and takes a knife and kills his wife. Later, he abandons the baby in a forest, at that moment, the Moon embraces the child and protects him, that's why the song is called "Son of the Moon". It's a beautiful gypsy story, and it has nothing to do with the devil.

"Hijo de la Luna" (English: "Son of the Moon") is a song written by José María Cano performed originally by the Spanish band Mecano with lead singer Ana Torroja. It appeared on their 1986 album, Entre el cielo y el suelo and had great success all over the Spanish speaking world, as did the album.The lyrics depict a Romani woman begging to the moon to marry a Roma man (calé). In exchange the moon asks for the woman's first-born as payment. After the child is born, his parents are dismayed to see that his skin is the whitest white and his eyes are grey, even though they both have dark skin and dark eyes. The lyrics explain that the child is a "lunar Albino." But the man presumes that the father is a "payo" (a non-Roma person) and furiously stabs his wife to death. He takes the child and runs into the wild, where the man abandons the child to die of exposure. Later the baby is said to live happily ever after with the Moon as his mother. When the child cries, the Moon wanes to cradle and comfort him. The chorus says that the moon wants to be a mother, yet cannot find a lover who will make her his wife, and questions her as to what she would do with a human child. The French translation of the song asks a more precise question (Tell me, silvery moon, You who has no arms, How will you rock the child?), which is answered in the last stanza (And whenever the child cries, She [The Moon] crescents, Turning herself into a light-cradle). In turn, the Moon doubts the mother's commitment to the little boy, wondering how much she can love her child if she is eager to trade him for a partner.

Fueron los reyes absolutos: "Mecano" creó su estilo propio y evolucionó tanto que mostró mil canciones de gran calidad. Ésta fue una creación triunfadora en España y en el extranjero.

It's a 3x rythme (like waltz), wich makes it sound a bit medieval wich goes well with the mystical aspect of the lyrics. The song was first issued in 1986, the reissued for the French release in 1991 with a video.

Hi I’m glad that you checked Them! I Looooooooove Mécano… You should check « El Blues Del Esclavo » mix of pop and tango: absolutely beautiful. Anna Torroja is an angel she s still singing, and the Cano Brothers ( the 2 guys who wrote the songs) were geniuses! ❤️❤️❤️❤️😇😇😇❤️❤️❤️❤️

Glad you reacted to this song, which was quite popular that even the soprano Montserrat Caballe did a cover of that!

You should watch the original video. It's beautiful. Yes there were many covers. More in Spain then L.A., I think. As for other Spanish artists, you might like El Arrebato (con Papa Levante) - Una noche con arte kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYPYhIyVh7d_nMk

Mecano es la banda española que más albums han vendido en todo el mundo. Cantan en italiano, francés..son famosos en Europa y Latinoamérica. Te recomiendo la canción " mujer contra mujer". Hujo de la luna la cantó después la cantante española de Ópera Montserrat Caballé. Puedes reacciinar también a muchas canciones de Mecano en francés y en italiano.❤👍
