Hijo de la Luna

"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.

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?

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.

The video clip for the Italian version Figlio della luna has a esthetic related to the 1981 film Blood Wedding by Carlos Saura.

Dutch recording artist Loona covered the song and released it as the second single from her debut studio album, Lunita (1999).
