The song “Son of the Moon” released in 1986 by the Spanish group “Mecano” has retained immense popularity throughout the 20th century. This masterpiece not only dominated charts and hit parades in Spain but also gained widespread recognition in various countries.

Given its success, numerous talented artists have taken on the challenge of covering or reinterpreting this iconic composition. One of the most notable versions is about to be explored.

Before delving into the reinterpretation, let’s acquaint ourselves with the profound meaning behind the lyrics. The song narrates the story of a gypsy woman who deeply falls in love with a man who does not reciprocate her feelings. Desperate, she turns to the Moon for guidance, and the Moon presents her with a choice between the child and the man. Regrettably, the gypsy chooses the man. Despite their love and living soul to soul, when the gypsy gives birth, the child looks nothing like the parents.
