The English lyrics for Mecano's "Hijo de la Luna" describe a tragic gypsy legend where a woman bargains with the moon for a husband, promising her firstborn in exchange. The resulting child is albino, leading her husband to believe he has been cheated, murder her, and abandon the child on a mountain. The chorus, "Moon, you wish to be a mother / And cannot find a lover who wants to make you a woman" is central to the song's theme.
