[@jodiefoxmusic]

Hello everyone 🖤 I am absolutely blown away by all of your feedback on this track, I did not expect it! It was so fun to translate and record it last year. It's such a beautiful song and one of my favourites, and so I hope I have done it justice. I just wanted say that due to all your encouragement, it is finally on Spotify (and all other places you stream music)! Here is the link for Spotify, open.spotify.com/album/4NMHs5MsnGeYPHQocJMJsc?si=FiAi6hKfTQaxPe4XwZ0wJA. Thank you all so so much 🌑🖤🌑

wow great news

[@The_Grim_Rose]

Under rated. EXTREMELY well done cover and excelent translation as a Hispanic that grew up with this song when I was a child.

[@jodiefoxmusic]

Thank you so much, that means a lot!🌹

[@yo-vc7ey]

Sí. Me gusta mucho cómo se ha adaptado la letra de la canción. Es fiel al espíritu de la letra original y al mismo tiempo suena bien en inglés. No es fácil conseguir eso.

[@s0me0ne1se]

This is incredible. You proved with enough talent and intelligence you can convey the exact message with the perfect chosen words and you fit each one masterfully. As a native Spanish speaker I salute you, you deserve nothing but respect to your beautiful artistic craft.

I can't express how perfect this translation is!!!!! The rhymes, everything! Perfection!

[@jodiefoxmusic]

Thank you! x

I was irked at other translations not fully capturing the language, but this one is actually just fantastic. Great work

Vaya locura, que bien suena!! Me trae muchos recuerdos😯

[@gabrielgray]

wow dude, that was probably the best Translated version of this Ive heard to date.... wow darlins... wow..

[@evarixta]

The translation is outstanding! It keeps the soul of the original song and the meaning has been kept intact. Beautiful cover and voice 💯

[@yiling-vf1ge]

Omg.... I looked this song up after many years as it haunts me since I was a child and I never thought I'd like it translated because it is a very special song, it's storytelling and it's like poetry. But not only did you not stray from the actual meaning in the original language, you managed to rhyme the lyrics so perfectly, it's so satisfying in my ears as if it is a spell or something, it sounds so good. And the way you changed the 'she would like a moonchild' to 'she WILL have a moonchild' is just.... chills. Emphasises the gruesome incident that fulfilled her prophecy/request. Thank you for this cover 🙏

[@jodiefoxmusic]

Thank you so much for your kind words, it means so much! 🖤

The original song was originally composed to be sung by Isabel Pantoja, a famous flamenco singer from the city of Seville, but she declined it. Instead, the song was played by Ana Torroja and her group Mecano, whose music style was the opposite of Pantoja's. After all, now it's one of the most famous themes of Spanish music

Hi Jodí love it can You send me the Lyrics

[@pik9254]

Español: Tonto al que no entienda Cuenta una leyenda Que una hembra gitana conjuró a la luna hasta el amanecer Llorando pedía al llegar el día desposar un café Tendrás a tu hombre piel morena desde el cielo ablo la luna llena Pero a cambio quiero el hijo primero que le enjembres a él Quien es su Gimola para no estar sola Poco le iba a querer Luna quiere ser madre y no encuentras querer que te haga mujer Dime luna de plata Que pretendes hacer? Con un niño de piel Ah~ 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 un payo! Y yo no me callo Luna quiere ser madre y no encuentras querer que te haga mujer Dime luna de plata Que pretendes hacer? Con un niño de piel Ah~ ah~ ah~ Gitano al creerse deshonrado Se fue a su mujer cuchillo en mano De quién es el hijo? Me has engaño fijo Y de muerte la hirió Luego se hizo al monte con el niño en brazos y allí le abandonó Luna quiere ser madre Y no encuentras querer que te haga mujer Dime luna de plata Que pretendes hacer? con un niño de piel Ah~ ah~ ah~ Y las noches que allá luna llena será porque el niño este 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 Gracias por los 0 likes 😊

[@patriciafj9324]

That's not a bad version, first time I heard it in English, but the main phrase is "moon wants to be a mother". It's about a gypsy couple, so obviously with olive skin and brown-eyed and the baby was born with pale and grey eyes like the moon. So he (the gypsy man) overtly rejects the child seeing he's of a different colour. I think these details make the song unique and I think you missed them, but ok it's nice for a first version.

[@distortingjack]

Literally everything you just said is clearly in the translated lyrics, what are you on about lmao

[@s0me0ne1se]

Terrible and ignorant review in my opinion. This translation, adaptation and cover IS perfection as it can be, but as we say in Spanish “la ignorancia es atrevida”, and yours is overwhelming. Have fun I guess

[@CarlosHugoPumaregaGarriga]

Could be sang by Evanescence

[@cing9545]

It's very good! Nice voice and the lyrics keep the original idea beautifully narrated in English :) As a fan of the song I'll say, well done! If I should add something maybe adding more drama to the song would make it even better. For example,the part in which he kills his wife, abandoning their son, that is all very crude and sad, I think it should be sung like it is happening before one's eyes. Ana Torroja, the singer, has a sweet, high-pitched voice but she also portrays what is happening with some roughness in her voice. Every stanza in the song is building up to that point. But just a little comment ^^ As I said though, I really liked it, and the adaptation is wonderful. So may I ask, what would think of doing Mujer contra mujer: wVSA2CEIQ7U. It is basically awareness of same-sex female relationships. And it was back in 1988, so it was very much ahead of its time. It is a beautiful song

[@jodiefoxmusic]

Thank you for your feedback! I would like to experiment more with my voice, perhaps in my next songs... ✨ P.S. I'll check out the other song you mentioned too
