Lune

Moon oh sweet moon
Tell me what my destiny will be
Tell me what my fortune will be
Moon oh pretty moon
Where have all my gardens gone?
And my windows on your dunes

Tell me if you can hear from up there
Our lives when they break
When they bend
When they run out
Or when they laugh

Moon oh poor moon
You must have seen some great sorrows
Solitudes of bitterness
Tender moon moon
You must know what it is
Of our terrors and our mists

Everything that warms us one day goes out
Everything that matters is worthless anymore
Oh moon light our way

Moon I haven't learned anything
Neither of death nor of life
Nor infinite sadness
But when I see you laugh
I feel like hoping

Moon oh round moon
You are our helpless mother
Our winds, our wonders, and our foam
Moon oh blonde moon
It's that we are overwhelmed
And our lives tremble like feathers

But we still have your summer nights
And your stars and your beauty
And you so sweet, watching over us

Moon I don't believe in anything
Neither to the gods nor to the dogs
Nor to the uncertain future
But when I see you shine
I feel like praying
