Lune

Moon oh sweet moon
Tell me what will be my fate
Tell me what will be my fortune
Moon oh pretty moon
Where have all my gardens gone
And my windows on your dunes
Tell me if from up there you hear
Our lives when they break
When they bend
When they exhaust
Or when they laugh
Moon oh poor moon
You must have seen great sorrows
Solitudes and bitterness
Tender moon
You must know what it's like
Our fears and our mists
Everything that warms us one day fades
Everything that matters is worth nothing
Oh moon light our way
Moon I have learned nothing
Neither from death nor from life
Nor from endless 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 foams
Moon oh fair moon
It's that we are overwhelmed
And our lives tremble like feathers
But we still have summer nights
And your stars and your beauty
And you so gentle, a pillow
Moon I believe in nothing
Neither in gods nor in dogs
Nor in the uncertain future
But when I see you shine
I feel like praying
