Frank; This song tells an ancient gypsy legend. A gypsy woman asks the moon to give her a husband and she grants him the wish in exchange for her first child. The child is born with white skin, gray eyes and light hair. The dark gypsy husband believes that his wife cheated on him with a blond man and offended in his honor and then he murders his wife. But in reality child is only albino; a HIJO DE LA LUNA "son of the moon" The song makes us wonder how many times this has happened in ancient times, when people from many cultures ignored the cause of albinism.
Most of Mecano great songs are because of the content of the lyrics. they really tell things in a storytelling way, some times with real depth and conflict. Without understanding the lyrics, I think the songs are quite average.
@@randalthor1955 dude not disrepect but i think youre dead wrong these songs , HDL, CN , Dali , etc are top notch musically( and im stressing the music variable here) , no need for a person to understand the lyrics to really appreciate the song
No quiero aguar la fiesta, pero esta canción no está basada en ninguna leyenda gitana. Nació, creció y vive para siempre en el cerebro de José María Cano, que dedicó más de 20 años a completar el relato con su ópera "Luna". Que aún hoy es el disco de bel canto en español más vendido de la historia. En la ópera, el niño ha crecido y vive nuevas aventuras. No quiero destripar el final, el disco completo está en RUclips al alcance de todos. Alrededor de Mecano se han generado muchas leyendas. Decían que "El amante de fuego" estaba basada en el incendio de la discoteca Alcalá 20, pese a que el incendio tuvo lugar después de que la canción se estrenase. O en una posesión diabólica, por más que la letra está refiriendo a una relación tóxica, en la que un novio posesivo agobia a su chica tratando de controlarla. María, la protagonista de "cruz de navajas", en realidad era lesbiana. Pese a que la canción deja claro que la muchacha estaba insatisfecha con su novio, no con su condición sexual. "Te busqué" hablaba de las cosas más bizarras, pese a que Nacho explicó mil veces que hablaba de la búsqueda espiritual de Dios. Y así podríamos seguir con un montón de rumores infundados sobre el grupo y su música. Con "hijo de la luna", la cosa alcanzó el clímax de la imaginación, ya que fue probablemente su mayor éxito en el mundo entero. Se llegó a decir que José la escribió para Isabel Pantoja, en su finca de Cantora. cuando lo cierto es que el mayor de los Cano la compuso en su casa de Ríos Rosas 54, en Madrid. La luna y el sol son temas recurrentes para José María. En realidad para toda la cultura mediterránea. Jose es un hombre muy instruido en los clásicos del arte grecorromano, del que posteriormente brotan todos los afluentes renacentistas y barrocos. Un buen día se sentó junto al piano de su salita, comenzó a juguetear con unas notas que le rondaban la cabeza, y creyó haber encontrado la música que podría acompañar a su cuento sobre una luna maternal. Y el resto es historia.
"ignored the cause of albinism". What do you mean by "ignored"? If we're talking about ancient times it's all about rudimentary science and lack of knowledge about the world because of that. So they did not "ignored", they simply didn't know yet. They could not know.
This is the original song. The Cano brothers, Nacho and Chema, the other 2 thirds of the band, were genius songwriters. Ana's eerie vocals just added to their perfection.
Llegaste a MECANO ahora te recomiendo "Cruz de navajas" esta era nuestra música todavía la escuchamos en el 2020 eso sonaba en la radio en nuestros paises🤩
Excelente recomendación. Lo mejor de la evolución de Mecano fueron sus letras, contar pequeñas historias con tanta riqueza literaria y en tan sólo pocos minutos. Creo que nuestra lengua es tan hermosa que podemos disfrutar con todos los sentidos de joyas como esta.
Mecano was a phenomenon all in itself. The Cano Brothers are gifted musicians and amazing songwriters (each with a completely different style of songwriting), then add the sweet and clear voice of Ana Torroja. Way, way ahead of their time with sound and lyrics.
Mecano was part of a branch of "Rock en Español" called "Rock Romántico" which was very big in Spain. Other groups of that movement include La Union, Duncan Dhu, and Hombres G, all of which are great bands worth checking out. These bands were also popular in Latin America, but no noteworthy bands surged in this side of the Atlantic that identified themselves with the movement.
Another band I can't believe you hadn't reacted to until now. Best pop band ever. React to "La Fuerza del Destino" official video. Penelope Cruz is in it. Their greatest hits: Cruz de navajas Hawaii Bombay Ay, Que pesado Mujer contra Mujer No hay marcha en Nueva York Me cuesta tanto olvidarte El Blues del esclavo Maquillaje Las Curvas de esa Chica Barco a Venus Aire No es serio este cementerio
I just love “La fuerza del destino”. and “El blues del esclavo”, among many others.. MECANO had a huge success in LATAM and SPAIN .. they were a Music Icon of the 80’s 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 Eliana. Bartolini ❤️🇲🇽
Waw.... Una de las grandes bandas. Sus letras...sus musicalizaciónes, la voz de Ana Torroja!!!!! Dios, sus canciones son todas icónicas: El 7 de septiembre.. Ana y Miguel, mujer contra mujer, ...aire!!!, Esto no es una canción, el uno el dos y el tres... Dios, podría seguir y seguir.... Amo toda su discografía... Lejos la mejor banda en español
OK I put you in context. Mecano has been the most successful Spanish group in the field of techno pop, being one of the most recognized groups internationally both in Europe and in the Americas. With only 6 edited albums, and thanks to the adaptations to other languages made of several of its themes, they became known in other non-Spanish-speaking countries such as Italy, France, Belgium, Switzerland and Canada, obtaining a special resonance in France , where the French adaptation of the theme "Woman against woman" ("Une femme avec une femme"), reached first place in the national sales list, staying in that position for eight consecutive weeks, which makes it remain, until today, the foreign song that has occupied the most weeks in the sales charts of that country. It is estimated that Mecano has sold 25 million records worldwide. The group, which began in 1982, separated within a few years due to the artistic disputes of the two Cano brothers, and the tremendous atmosphere of hostility that their singer, Ana torroja, lived in their rehearsals and confrontations. I invite you to listen to one of his best albums "Descanso dominical" A hug from Spain. ruclips.net/video/wKfrwpo11SM/видео.html
This is the best pop group in Spain. Their songs are masterpieces and poetry. They are not the typical love songs someone expects. You must listen to "eungenio salvador dali" "mujer contra mujer"
Mecano was leading the sinth new wave in Spain, this song was very popular, so much that it was recorded in: French and also Italian. check out also their song: "El 7 de Septiembre".
*Saludos desde Caracas-Venezuela.* La canción titulada _«Hijo de la Luna»_ ( _‘Son of the Moon’_ ) es una canción del año 1986, incluida en el quinto álbum de Mecano titulado _«Entre el cielo y el suelo»;_ pero... durante la etapa de promoción de ese álbum, a medida que se iban extrayendo «singles» para promocionarlos en la radio, *sólo* se filmó un único videoclip y fue de la canción *_«No es serio este cementerio»,_* el videoclip fue filmado en uno de estos lugares donde hay automóviles abandonados ya vueltos chatarra -se tenía pensado filmarlo dentro de un cementerio real; pero luego pensaron que sería una falta de respeto para con los difuntos y por eso no lo hicieron... _«Hijo de la Luna»_ fue elegida como «single» promocional en la radio en el año 1987... NUNCA se filmó en ese tiempo el respectivo videoclip. Pasaron los años y llega el año 1991, y la publicación del álbum _«Aidalai»_ (edición en español, edición en italiano y edición en francés simultáneamente)... En la edición para Francia, se incluye la versión de _«Hijo de la Luna» cantada en francés y se elige como «single» para la radio... PERO extrañamente también se decide que, van a filmar el videoclip, pero cantado en español... No se tiene muy claro por qué los Mecano deciden hacer el videoclip 4 años después. El audio de la canción se grabó en 1986; pero el videoclip se filmó en 1991. ¡Cosas inexplicables que tiene la vida! Mi Twitter es: *@ChaneGarcia.*
Frank, Mecano's lyrics and singer are amazing. The lyrics are deep and sometimes based on legends ( I suggest to check out "Naturaleza muerta")Brothers José y Nacho were amazing songwriters
Very popular Spanish song and band in all latin countries. They began doing tecno pop but evolucioned throw the years into other types of music. It depended if the songs were wrotten by one brother or the other. The firts Penélope Cruz appearance on television was in one of their videos, when she was 14 years old and one of the brothers (Nacho Cano) girlfriend. Soprano Montserrat Caballé versioned It: ruclips.net/video/JRenWLlRHx4/видео.html "LA FUERZA DEL DESTINO" with Penélope Cruz's debut. ruclips.net/video/_mAmEKNqg1g/видео.html I have to say I don't really have a real opinion of this band because their songs are so diverse I like some and don't like others. But they had thousends of fans who liked everything about them. Very very succesful band!
Ya en mi madurez surgio esta banda Mecano y conforme cumplo años, muchos más años, cada dia me enamora más este grupo y sus canciones, letra y musica te atrapan, ya sea Nacho o Chema quien componga, diferentes y cada uno genial y la VOZ de Ana Fue un estado de Gracia lo que surgió con este grupo INMENSOS ❤❤❤ Voy para 76 años y sigo tarareando sus canciones y me levantan el ánimo
Los españoles alucinan que esta cancion fue un top a nivel mundial y no...no es vonicida y cuando se escucha no causa grrran imoacto ni nada...lo siento,,peronel uuuultimo hit español es...macarena....pura objetividad
A nivel internaciobal esta vcancion no es muy conocida...al menos en el sentido que tuvieron otras cancinbes provenientes de españa...si...macarena, por ejemplo...
Que raro. No se de qué parte estarán hablando. Pero en Chile, Mecano tuvo un éxito increíble. Hijo de la luna es un clásico y creo que pocos no son capaces de identificar la canción al oír los primeros acordes. Algo similar sucede con El 7; de septiembre o Ana y Miguel. Aunque para mí Aire, esto no es una canción, tu, hermano sol hermana luna Son lo mejor Para gustos los colores
This is an artwork as many Mecano songs, specially written by José María Cano, the music, singer’s voice and the lyrics... By the way this was the same and only version released in 1988.
They're often regarded as the best Spanish speaking pop band ever. Eurythmics who? Cruz de Navajas often regarded as Best pop song in Hispanic music history.
This is the original version. In terms of music composing, Mecano has been the best Spanish pop group in history. You should check more or their songs. I would kindly suggest "mujer contra mujer".
The song was written as is. Ana Torroja was the vocalist and Nacho & Jose Maria Cano were the musicians, both brothers wrote the songs and made all the musical arrangements.
I have just come from a musical dedicated to Mecano and, although I'm a heavy metal fan, I'll just say they were superb musicians and songwriters. Only being a musician you can perceive all the quality and elegance of their songs. "Hijo De La Luna" is maybe their famous song out of Spain but the people who grow with their music, we know that all their discography was a neverending list or hits during 10 years.
Me encantan tus reacciones. Creo que esta canción, como todas las de Mecano, se aprecian mejor sabiendo lo que quieren decir las letras. Gracias por tu trabajo. Un saludo desde España.
HIJO DE LA LUNA (LYRICS) Foolish he who does not understand There is a legend That a female gypsy Conjured up the moon until dawn Crying she begged When the day came To marry a calé You'll have your man brown skin From the sky the full moon spoke But in return I want The son first That you beget him That whoever your son immolates So as not to be alone I would love him little Moon you want to be a mother And you can't find the love To make you a woman Tell me silver moon What do you intend to do With a child of skin, Ah, ah Son of the moon Of a cinnamon father a child was born White as an ermine's back With grey eyes Instead of olive Albino child of the moon Cursed is his appearance This son is the son of a payo And I won't shut up about it Luna you want to be a mother And you can't find the love That makes you a woman Tell me silver moon What do you intend to do With a child of skin, Ah, ah Son of the moon Gypsy, believing himself to be disgraced He went to his wife knife in hand Whose son is he? You have deceived me for sure And he mortally wounded her Then he went to the mountain With the child in his arms And there she abandoned him Moon you want to be a mother And you can't find the love To make you a woman Tell me silver moon What do you intend to do With a child of skin, Ah, ah Child of the moon And on nights when the moon is full It'll be because the child's in a good mood And if the child cries The moon will wane To make him a cradle And if the child cries The moon will be waning To make him a cradle
Niiiiicee!!! Of curse we should check more mecano!! El blues de los esclavos, no hay marcha en Nueva York, los amantes live versions!!! What an amazing band!!!
@@CarlosGarcia-ze1mk propuse revisar 3 de las canciones de Mecano que más me gustan, pero jamás hice referencia a que me pareciera que tuvieran canciones malas. Como sea saludos y mucha musica de Mecano para todos! Saludos desde México! Dios nos bendiga a todos 🤘🧐🔱🖤🇲🇽🔥
@@CarlosGarcia-ze1mk a ok, yo no considero que tengan ninguna mala canción; de acuerdo con mis gustos tengo simpatía por unas más que por otras, que es lo que para ti hace que sean malas, las canciones de mecano que consideras "malas" ?
So you know Frank, the opera singer Montserrat Caballe (whom Freddy Mercury admired so much that he sang the song Barcelona with her for the 1992 Olympic Games) liked so much this song, she sang it too "opera style".
mecano is a legendary spaniel band 80' s, Ana Torroja is the name of the girl, was the first girl that used that look short hair before that Sinead O'Connor.
Hi FrankValchiria, don't be surprised for not knowing mecano, and the reason is that the music industry is "remote control", and at that time, everything was eeuu ... I write from Spain, I like your videos, your analysis about our Dear Nino Bravo, I liked it very much, and I thank you for your respect for your figure, because this artist is very dear and respected in my country, especially in my land, his land, Valencia. I suggest you listen to "Aquel atardecer" (nino Bravo) is where this artist shows all his power. a cordial greeting.
Im from México but i love this original band. The female singer name is Ana Torroja, react to Duele el amor with Ana Torroja y Alek Syntek a very famous mexican componer and singer.
Mecano was a band from Spain in the 80s, very successful in Mexico and Latinamerica, the band with 2 brothers Jose and Nacho Cano and the vocalist Ana Torroja, after several successful álbums they break up in the early 90s for creative conflicts and comeback for a last album in the late 90s. On her side Ana Torroja has several albums too. My recommendations are El siete de septiembre Mujer contra mujer(LGBTQ anthem) El club de los humildes La fuerza del destino. If you can find a live performance of the band or Ana Torroja you will love it.
Una de mis mejores bandas de rock en Español, en conjunto con Los Prisioneros, Soda Stereo, Hombres G y de mi Panama Rubén Blades que es un cantante de talla internacional, el canta de las vivencias de los pueblos, mi favorita de el es Amor y Control.
La fuerza del destino y el 7 de septiembre are my favorites Nacho Cano did a musical with all this music. They are the most important Spanish group in the 80s
Mecano... special & unique pop style, you love them or you hate... great compositors, great musics, great little singer ;) i recomend you get the lirics to understand the way/meaning so you can inmerse into the story for full enjoyment of their songs
OMG I just remastered myself in the 90's listening this band. I remember the song.. CRUZ DE NAVAJAS very popular song of this band also I don't remember other singers just her.
Frank, Mecano was a very good band from Spain, and they were really famous all over Latin America and in part of Europe. It could be consider pop style, and their lyrics are amazing, truly good lyrics. Try also with another albums from Mecano; you won't be disappointed.
This band started in new romantic wave style and in the late 80s became more pop. This song was composed by them for a folk singer about a gipsy drama story but she finally didn't record it and Mecano decided to do their own version. That's why it sounds quite different from their most of songs. The song was also recorded in italian and french. The girl, Ana Torroja, continues singing as a solist.
Perdona, pero esta canción la escribió José María a cinco minutos de su casa, en el local en el que Mecano se reunía a ensayar. Y jamás fue un encargo para ninguna otra cantante. Ni la escribieron "ellos", sino él. Mecano suena diferente a Mecano, siempre. Porque Nacho y José son completamente diferentes. Y nada tienen que ver canciones como "maquillaje" con "la fábula", o "Eungenio Salvador Dalí" con "el amante de fuego".
@@aha3885 esta canción al igual que cruz de navajas se hicieron para Isabel Pantoja, y la RCA la rechazó porque estaba grabando ese año un disco íntegro con Juan Gabriel, lo han dicho mil veces. Y ya sé que cada uno componía lo suyo pero lo he dicho en general, pensé que para alguien que no conoce el grupo de nada no hacen falta más detalles 🤷🏻♂️
@@Vilonet pero es que para alguien que no conozca el grupo, lo de Isabel Pantoja es otra leyenda. Antes de empezar, un saludo y encantado. Siempre es bueno charlar con seguidores de Mecano. No pretendía ser rudo con mi apreciación inicial. Es cierto que de vez en cuando, tanto Nacho como Jose componían para otros artistas. Por ejemplo "No controles", para olé olé, o "Lía", para Ana Belén. Pero nunca para Isabel Pantoja, de la que para que te hagas una idea, se llegó a decir que sostuvo un romance con José María. Cuando en realidad, ni se conocen. Esto es algo contado por el propio jose en alguna entrevista, juraría que en la promoción de "Luna". Tanto esta canción, como cruz de navajas, fueron escritas con la única intención de incluirse en el repertorio de Mecano.
@@Vilonet lo que sí pasó fue que cruz de navajas no les gustaba mucho a Nacho&Ana, y tampoco a los de la discográfica. Al único que le parecía convencer era al pobre José María, que no consiguió que se lanzase como primer single del disco. Sin embargo esa fue la canción que impulsó a la banda en el mercado hispanoparlante, y marcó un antes y un después en la orientación musical /comercial de Mecano. A partir de ese éxito, el synthpop de Nacho perdió fuerza a la hora de incluirse en los discos finales, frente a las baladas de Jose. Lo de Sabina, la Pantoja, y todas esas historias, son cuentos chinos. Alrededor de Mecano se escribieron muchísimas leyendas. Como aquella del amante de fuego y el incendio de Alcalá 20. Lo mejor siempre es escuchar únicamente a los protagonistas. Y todo esto que te cuento se puede encontrar en las cientos de entrevistas que los tres componentes dieron a lo largo de los años.
@@aha3885 gracias por la aclaración! En cualquier caso al final tuvimos estos dos temazos para la posteridad con una instrumentación tan perfecta que parecen no envejecer nunca ☺️
This band brings a little bit of Gothic and new Wave but also other sounds, Las Curvas De Esa Chica it is another song from this band with more New Wave sounds
It seems strange to me that, of the many recommendations of Mecano's songs here, I haven't read any of "Naturaleza Muerta". The song also tells a story. the sea who takes one of two lovers, Ana and Miguel.
Hi, I am late here 🙋🏻♀️Nacho explained once that he was good friends with the great Hans Zimmer and he inspired this and I think Nacho mentioned that he, if not helped, at least supervised and then approved, with the composition, since Nacho wanted to try music with orchestra but he had no experience with it.
the song came out exactly as you are hearing, they played all the time with different styles, rock, pop, opera rock etc. years later the Cano brothers made an adaptation but like an Opera, very successful
Hi Frank.. Mecano was a really important new wave\pop\experimental trio from Spain, singer name is Ana Torroja but the masters of Mecanos music were the other two members Nacho Cano and Jose Maria Cano(brotherI would recomend you another mecano song "Ell Blues del Esclavo" (Slave's Blues") Great job, best regards Frank
Hi Frank you should react to "Aire" , "Tu", the original version of "Me cuesta tanto olvidarte" and also "Vivimos siempre juntos" a solo song from Nacho Cano, the younger of the two brothers of Mecano.
Mecano is, maybe, the greatest music ban d from Spain. Ana Torroja has a lovely beutiful voice but Jose Maria Cano, is an awesome composer!!!! All his songs are incredible sheets and the lyrics are pure literature. This orcherstra is part of the original song, Jose Maria has a very operistical sense of composing. "Hijo de la Luna" is a tragical and touching song about a gipsy woman that is killed by his husband because their child is albine and he thinks she cheated him with a white man. The history is decorated with a folk poetical background, telling that the woman, to charm her love interest, make a deal with the Moon. The Moon tells her that she wants to be a mother so, the man will fall in love with the woman but, in exchange, she will have to give her their first child. So it is suposed that because of this sourcery the child born albine. In the end the man abandones the child in the woods and the moon take care of him (the waning Moon became his cradle). And so, the deal is fulfilled. The typical story of twisted magic masterfully told. This is also inspired in Federico García-Lorca poems imaginery. "Hijo de la Luna" is a masterpiece of spanish modern music.
Well, you played an another big hit in the 80's and a classic in Spain and Latin America today. Mecano is a relevant Spanish group which marked our musical lives and especially in Spain. I suggest how you started playing Spanish groups, it could be could see 'Hombres G' or 'Alaska y los Pegamoides' or 'Radio Futura or 'Fangoria'. Greets!
Buena madrugada, te faltan dos clásicos imprescindibles aunque tenga más, "barco a venus" y " cruz de navajas" sin esto no puedes pasar al siguiente nivel😚te deseo una mañana preciosa y que disfrutes
I added the Sarah Brightman version, but this song was written by Nacho of Mecano. Sarah's and Ana's voices sound similar. ruclips.net/video/sTEBbugPcI8/видео.html
hola, desde España, tiene que escuchar hijo de la luna en la versión de Stravaganzza. Es una maravilla .Sin despreciar a Mecano , que eran de lo mejor. un saludo

Great Band Mecano, Ana Torroja has a very particular voice and style.
I guess I should agree with myself

The best band from Spain.
This song is a masterpiece.
👏👏👏👏
for sure
This song is amazing, really precious, a sad history, and maybe the best spanish song ever. Mecano are great, but in this song they touch the stars.
Also, the three members are amazing, the Cano Brothers and the singer, Ana Torroja.
Another band I can't believe you hadn't reacted to until now. Best pop band ever. React to "La Fuerza del Destino" official video. Penelope Cruz is in it.

PERO extrañamente también se decide que, van a filmar el videoclip, pero cantado en español... No se tiene muy claro por qué los Mecano deciden hacer el videoclip 4 años después. El audio de la canción se grabó en 1986; pero el videoclip se filmó en 1991. ¡Cosas inexplicables que tiene la vida!

De Mecano te recomiendo "Mujer contra mujer" "Eungenio Salvador Dalí" "Aire" pero mejor en vivo= live.
Yo recomiemdo las mas rockeras pies me caga las canciones de chillones jaja
Frank, Mecano's lyrics and singer are amazing. The lyrics are deep and sometimes based on legends ( I suggest to check out "Naturaleza muerta")Brothers José y Nacho were amazing songwriters
Oooh! One of my favorite songs!
Very popular Spanish song and band in all latin countries. They began doing tecno pop but evolucioned throw the years into other types of music. It depended if the songs were wrotten by one brother or the other. The firts Penélope Cruz appearance on television was in one of their videos, when she was 14 years old and one of the brothers (Nacho Cano) girlfriend.
Soprano Montserrat Caballé versioned It: ruclips.net/video/JRenWLlRHx4/видео.html
"LA FUERZA DEL DESTINO" with Penélope Cruz's debut. ruclips.net/video/_mAmEKNqg1g/видео.html
I have to say I don't really have a real opinion of this band because their songs are so diverse I like some and don't like others. But they had thousends of fans who liked everything about them. Very very succesful band!
Ya en mi madurez surgio esta banda Mecano y conforme cumplo años, muchos más años, cada dia me enamora más este grupo y sus canciones, letra y musica te atrapan, ya sea Nacho o Chema quien componga, diferentes y cada uno genial y la VOZ de Ana
Fue un estado de Gracia lo que surgió con este grupo
INMENSOS ❤❤❤
Voy para 76 años y sigo tarareando sus canciones y me levantan el ánimo
Que sorpresa! Dada la trayectoria y las versiones en otros idiomas de esta canción es curioso que no la conozcas
Los españoles alucinan que esta cancion fue un top a nivel mundial y no...no es vonicida y cuando se escucha no causa grrran imoacto ni nada...lo siento,,peronel uuuultimo hit español es...macarena....pura objetividad
A nivel internaciobal esta vcancion no es muy conocida...al menos en el sentido que tuvieron otras cancinbes provenientes de españa...si...macarena, por ejemplo...
@@cebep67 el ultimo hit de españa es Con Altura de Rosalia.... 2019.... 🤣🤣🤣🤣
ohh vaya!
Que raro. No se de qué parte estarán hablando. Pero en Chile, Mecano tuvo un éxito increíble. Hijo de la luna es un clásico y creo que pocos no son capaces de identificar la canción al oír los primeros acordes. Algo similar sucede con El 7; de septiembre o Ana y Miguel.
Aunque para mí
Aire, esto no es una canción, tu, hermano sol hermana luna
Son lo mejor
Para gustos los colores
"Aire" is one of my favourite Mecano's songs.
This is an artwork as many Mecano songs, specially written by José María Cano, the music, singer’s voice and the lyrics... By the way this was the same and only version released in 1988.
José María Cano, the author, later he wrote an entire opera developing the story of this song.
This song is a poem and is like a pop symphony ......they are the musicians and writers....magical
Meccano mujer contra mujer, and also check out Cruz de navajas and me cuesta tanto olvidarte
They're often regarded as the best Spanish speaking pop band ever. Eurythmics who? Cruz de Navajas often regarded as Best pop song in Hispanic music history.
SPANISH
SPANISH MUSIC, not Hispanic music
@@LuisSanchez-vp9nq All right, music from Spanish-America...
@@andresjordano6608
Cruz de navajas is a Spanish song, so why do you insist on adding America ??
Mecano is one of the Best pop music group in spanish and probably in the world. Please heard their music. Is like soda stereo but in pop.
This is the original version. In terms of music composing, Mecano has been the best Spanish pop group in history. You should check more or their songs. I would kindly suggest "mujer contra mujer".
The song was written as is. Ana Torroja was the vocalist and Nacho & Jose Maria Cano were the musicians, both brothers wrote the songs and made all the musical arrangements.
I have just come from a musical dedicated to Mecano and, although I'm a heavy metal fan, I'll just say they were superb musicians and songwriters. Only being a musician you can perceive all the quality and elegance of their songs. "Hijo De La Luna" is maybe their famous song out of Spain but the people who grow with their music, we know that all their discography was a neverending list or hits during 10 years.
This song is also part of an entire Opera compouse by Jose María Cano, the compouser of the song and one of the members in Mecano.
Mecano mi grupo favorito e inigualable simplemente los mejores!!!
Me encantan tus reacciones. Creo que esta canción, como todas las de Mecano, se aprecian mejor sabiendo lo que quieren decir las letras. Gracias por tu trabajo. Un saludo desde España.
HIJO DE LA LUNA (LYRICS)
Foolish he who does not understand
There is a legend
That a female gypsy
Conjured up the moon until dawn
Crying she begged
When the day came
To marry a calé
You'll have your man brown skin
From the sky the full moon spoke
But in return I want
The son first
That you beget him
That whoever your son immolates
So as not to be alone
I would love him little
Moon you want to be a mother
And you can't find the love
To make you a woman
Tell me silver moon
What do you intend to do
With a child of skin, Ah, ah
Son of the moon
Of a cinnamon father a child was born
White as an ermine's back
With grey eyes
Instead of olive
Albino child of the moon
Cursed is his appearance
This son is the son of a payo
And I won't shut up about it
Luna you want to be a mother
And you can't find the love
That makes you a woman
Tell me silver moon
What do you intend to do
With a child of skin, Ah, ah
Son of the moon
Gypsy, believing himself to be disgraced
He went to his wife knife in hand
Whose son is he?
You have deceived me for sure
And he mortally wounded her
Then he went to the mountain
With the child in his arms
And there she abandoned him
Moon you want to be a mother
And you can't find the love
To make you a woman
Tell me silver moon
What do you intend to do
With a child of skin, Ah, ah
Child of the moon
And on nights when the moon is full
It'll be because the child's in a good mood
And if the child cries
The moon will wane
To make him a cradle
And if the child cries
The moon will be waning
To make him a cradle
Mi bello grupo de los 80's y la bella Ana Torroja🇪🇸❤
Niiiiicee!!! Of curse we should check more mecano!! El blues de los esclavos, no hay marcha en Nueva York, los amantes live versions!!! What an amazing band!!!
stereosexual, mujer contra mujer, cruz de navajas... tienen alguna canción mala, creo que no?
@@CarlosGarcia-ze1mk coincido contigo, tampoco creo que tengan canciones malas, porque la pregunta?
@@CarlosGarcia-ze1mk propuse revisar 3 de las canciones de Mecano que más me gustan, pero jamás hice referencia a que me pareciera que tuvieran canciones malas. Como sea saludos y mucha musica de Mecano para todos! Saludos desde México! Dios nos bendiga a todos 🤘🧐🔱🖤🇲🇽🔥
@@raulnegrete3997 la pregunta era mas bien retorica, obviamente no las tienen hehe
@@CarlosGarcia-ze1mk a ok, yo no considero que tengan ninguna mala canción; de acuerdo con mis gustos tengo simpatía por unas más que por otras, que es lo que para ti hace que sean malas, las canciones de mecano que consideras "malas" ?
So you know Frank, the opera singer Montserrat Caballe (whom Freddy Mercury admired so much that he sang the song Barcelona with her for the 1992 Olympic Games) liked so much this song, she sang it too "opera style".
mecano is a legendary spaniel band 80' s, Ana Torroja is the name of the girl, was the first girl that used that look short hair before that Sinead O'Connor.
¡Gracias!
"Me cuesta tanto olvidarte"
Una de mis canciones favoritas
Hi FrankValchiria, don't be surprised for not knowing mecano, and the reason is that the music industry is "remote control", and at that time, everything was eeuu ... I write from Spain, I like your videos, your analysis about our Dear Nino Bravo, I liked it very much, and I thank you for your respect for your figure, because this artist is very dear and respected in my country, especially in my land, his land, Valencia. I suggest you listen to "Aquel atardecer" (nino Bravo) is where this artist shows all his power. a cordial greeting.
Im from México but i love this original band. The female singer name is Ana Torroja, react to Duele el amor with Ana Torroja y Alek Syntek a very famous mexican componer and singer.
Mecano was ahead of his time. You must also listen to the work of each of the Cano brothers (José María and Nacho) as soloists. Both giants of music.
Mecano was a band from Spain in the 80s, very successful in Mexico and Latinamerica, the band with 2 brothers Jose and Nacho Cano and the vocalist Ana Torroja, after several successful álbums they break up in the early 90s for creative conflicts and comeback for a last album in the late 90s.
On her side Ana Torroja has several albums too.
My recommendations are
El siete de septiembre
Mujer contra mujer(LGBTQ anthem)
El club de los humildes
La fuerza del destino.
If you can find a live performance of the band or Ana Torroja you will love it.
The most interesting of Mecano: Lyciris / Historias / cuentos / letras
Thnx mate for this reaction, pls more of mecano!
Una de mis mejores bandas de rock en Español, en conjunto con Los Prisioneros, Soda Stereo, Hombres G y de mi Panama Rubén Blades que es un cantante de talla internacional, el canta de las vivencias de los pueblos, mi favorita de el es Amor y Control.
La fuerza del destino y el 7 de septiembre are my favorites Nacho Cano did a musical with all this music. They are the most important Spanish group in the 80s
Preciosa música todas sus canciones,ahora ella canta sola,tienen alma todas sus canciones
This song is a classic a true masterpiece I love Mecano......awesome😎
The song " El perdón " by Diana Navarro. Her voice is very beatiful
Mecano... special & unique pop style, you love them or you hate... great compositors, great musics, great little singer ;) i recomend you get the lirics to understand the way/meaning so you can inmerse into the story for full enjoyment of their songs
OMG I just remastered myself in the 90's listening this band. I remember the song.. CRUZ DE NAVAJAS very popular song of this band also I don't remember other singers just her.
Frank, Mecano was a very good band from Spain, and they were really famous all over Latin America and in part of Europe. It could be consider pop style, and their lyrics are amazing, truly good lyrics. Try also with another albums from Mecano; you won't be disappointed.
Mecano where the biggest in Spain and south america during ten years in a row
This band started in new romantic wave style and in the late 80s became more pop. This song was composed by them for a folk singer about a gipsy drama story but she finally didn't record it and Mecano decided to do their own version. That's why it sounds quite different from their most of songs.
The song was also recorded in italian and french. The girl, Ana Torroja, continues singing as a solist.
Perdona, pero esta canción la escribió José María a cinco minutos de su casa, en el local en el que Mecano se reunía a ensayar. Y jamás fue un encargo para ninguna otra cantante. Ni la escribieron "ellos", sino él.
Mecano suena diferente a Mecano, siempre. Porque Nacho y José son completamente diferentes. Y nada tienen que ver canciones como "maquillaje" con "la fábula", o "Eungenio Salvador Dalí" con "el amante de fuego".
@@aha3885 esta canción al igual que cruz de navajas se hicieron para Isabel Pantoja, y la RCA la rechazó porque estaba grabando ese año un disco íntegro con Juan Gabriel, lo han dicho mil veces. Y ya sé que cada uno componía lo suyo pero lo he dicho en general, pensé que para alguien que no conoce el grupo de nada no hacen falta más detalles 🤷🏻♂️
@@Vilonet pero es que para alguien que no conozca el grupo, lo de Isabel Pantoja es otra leyenda. Antes de empezar, un saludo y encantado. Siempre es bueno charlar con seguidores de Mecano. No pretendía ser rudo con mi apreciación inicial.
Es cierto que de vez en cuando, tanto Nacho como Jose componían para otros artistas. Por ejemplo "No controles", para olé olé, o "Lía", para Ana Belén. Pero nunca para Isabel Pantoja, de la que para que te hagas una idea, se llegó a decir que sostuvo un romance con José María. Cuando en realidad, ni se conocen. Esto es algo contado por el propio jose en alguna entrevista, juraría que en la promoción de "Luna".
Tanto esta canción, como cruz de navajas, fueron escritas con la única intención de incluirse en el repertorio de Mecano.
@@Vilonet lo que sí pasó fue que cruz de navajas no les gustaba mucho a Nacho&Ana, y tampoco a los de la discográfica. Al único que le parecía convencer era al pobre José María, que no consiguió que se lanzase como primer single del disco. Sin embargo esa fue la canción que impulsó a la banda en el mercado hispanoparlante, y marcó un antes y un después en la orientación musical /comercial de Mecano. A partir de ese éxito, el synthpop de Nacho perdió fuerza a la hora de incluirse en los discos finales, frente a las baladas de Jose.
Lo de Sabina, la Pantoja, y todas esas historias, son cuentos chinos. Alrededor de Mecano se escribieron muchísimas leyendas. Como aquella del amante de fuego y el incendio de Alcalá 20. Lo mejor siempre es escuchar únicamente a los protagonistas. Y todo esto que te cuento se puede encontrar en las cientos de entrevistas que los tres componentes dieron a lo largo de los años.
@@aha3885 gracias por la aclaración! En cualquier caso al final tuvimos estos dos temazos para la posteridad con una instrumentación tan perfecta que parecen no envejecer nunca ☺️
This band brings a little bit of Gothic and new Wave but also other sounds, Las Curvas De Esa Chica it is another song from this band with more New Wave sounds
Synth new wave for sure. They are respected in rock for their contribution and hailed as pioneers.
Éste tema es muy potente.. Saludos desde Chile
.....y en las noches que haya luna llena, será porque el niño esté de buenas.... Y si el niño llora, menguará la luna, para hacerle una cuna..... 💕
This is such a meaningful song, and she sings it beautifully, it takes me away 🌷
Mecano and Ana Torroja's solo career are amazing. Her voice is perfect.
Mecano used to edit some of their records in italian and french too, this son have an italian version.
It seems strange to me that, of the many recommendations of Mecano's songs here, I haven't read any of "Naturaleza Muerta". The song also tells a story. the sea who takes one of two lovers, Ana and Miguel.
Por fin!!! Mecano!!!
A very famous band in Spain, in some european countries like Italy or France and in several latin american countries.
Hi, I am late here 🙋🏻♀️Nacho explained once that he was good friends with the great Hans Zimmer and he inspired this and I think Nacho mentioned that he, if not helped, at least supervised and then approved, with the composition, since Nacho wanted to try music with orchestra but he had no experience with it.
the song came out exactly as you are hearing, they played all the time with different styles, rock, pop, opera rock etc. years later the Cano brothers made an adaptation but like an Opera, very successful
Not the brothers, only José María. The song, and the opera, was made 100% from Jose's brain and heart.
Hi Frank.. Mecano was a really important new wave\pop\experimental trio from Spain, singer name is Ana Torroja but the masters of Mecanos music were the other two members Nacho Cano and Jose Maria Cano(brotherI would recomend you another mecano song "Ell Blues del Esclavo" (Slave's Blues")
Great job, best regards Frank
Hi Frank you should react to "Aire" , "Tu", the original version of "Me cuesta tanto olvidarte" and also "Vivimos siempre juntos" a solo song from Nacho Cano, the younger of the two brothers of Mecano.
It's cold..🌹🇲🇽🏃🏼♂️🙏❤️
LOVE THIS SONG ❤❤❤
So Epic song!! Love Ana Torroja!!
Mecano is, maybe, the greatest music ban d from Spain.
Ana Torroja has a lovely beutiful voice but Jose Maria Cano, is an awesome composer!!!! All his songs are incredible sheets and the lyrics are pure literature.
This orcherstra is part of the original song, Jose Maria has a very operistical sense of composing.
"Hijo de la Luna" is a tragical and touching song about a gipsy woman that is killed by his husband because their child is albine and he thinks she cheated him with a white man. The history is decorated with a folk poetical background, telling that the woman, to charm her love interest, make a deal with the Moon. The Moon tells her that she wants to be a mother so, the man will fall in love with the woman but, in exchange, she will have to give her their first child. So it is suposed that because of this sourcery the child born albine. In the end the man abandones the child in the woods and the moon take care of him (the waning Moon became his cradle). And so, the deal is fulfilled.
The typical story of twisted magic masterfully told.
This is also inspired in Federico García-Lorca poems imaginery.
"Hijo de la Luna" is a masterpiece of spanish modern music.
You activated my Google Assistant at 0.40 crazy 👍🏽
Hermosa canción 💖
La clave de Mecano no es Ana Torroja, son los hermanos Cano, músicos y compositores, sin ellos Mecano no hubiera existido, grandes voces hay muchas.
Please react to Aire, with lyrics
Another amazing Spain band. Good old song. More song from they are great. Hugs cap
This is like a lullaby. It's a very dramatic story
This song hits hard especially if you understand the lyrics.
I loved this band....another great spanish pop band is Hombres G.
Check it out!!!!
Otro grupo al que podrías reaccionar es "Presuntos Implicados" con canciones como "Como hemos cambiado" o "En la oscuridad" y mejor en vivo.
El mosquito, just to start jumping and dancing around the room!
Well, you played an another big hit in the 80's and a classic in Spain and Latin America today. Mecano is a relevant Spanish group which marked our musical lives and especially in Spain. I suggest how you started playing Spanish groups, it could be could see 'Hombres G' or 'Alaska y los Pegamoides' or 'Radio Futura or 'Fangoria'. Greets!
4ever MECANO.
Buena madrugada, te faltan dos clásicos imprescindibles aunque tenga más, "barco a venus" y " cruz de navajas" sin esto no puedes pasar al siguiente nivel😚te deseo una mañana preciosa y que disfrutes
Buenos dìas Frank. Me encanta Mecano. si puedes reacciona a AIRE. Gracias.
De Pop, a Metal.... las 2 versiones son impresionantes.
The lyrics, the story is the strongest part of this song,
The singer is Ana Torroja, Sarah Brightman also sings this song.
I added the Sarah Brightman version, but this song was written by Nacho of Mecano. Sarah's and Ana's voices sound similar.

hola, desde España, tiene que escuchar hijo de la luna en la versión de Stravaganzza. Es una maravilla .Sin despreciar a Mecano , que eran de lo mejor. un saludo
