* {{Lunacy}}: "Hijo de la Luna" ("Son of the Moon" in Spanish) is a MurderBallad (see below) about a Romani girl who agrees to give the moon her firstborn son if the moon grants her wish for a husband. After they marry, their [[ChocolateBaby son's ermine-white skin and gray eyes]] make the husband [[MistakenForCheating think he is not the father]].
