Le soleil et la lune
Charles Trénet
The Sun and the Moon
1. On the roof of the hotel where I live with you
When I wait for your arrival, my friend
That the night makes sing louder and better than me
All the cats all the cats all the cats
What is said on the roofs that the voices repeat
Of these cats of these bored cats
The songs that I know that I translate for you
Here they are here they are here they are...
Chorus:
The sun has an appointment with the moon
But the moon is not there and the sun waits
Here below often each for his own
Each must do the same
The moon is there, the moon is there
The moon is there, but the sun does not see it
To find it, you need the night
You need the night but the sun does not know it and always shines
The sun has an appointment with the moon
But the moon is not there and the sun waits
Dad says he saw that...
2. Scientists warned by the rain and the wind
Announced one day the end of the world
The newspapers commented in moving terms
The opinions the confessions of the scientists
Many panicked people asked the agents
If the world was caught in the round
It was then that doctors scientists and professors
Suddenly all sang in chorus
Chorus
3. Philosophers listen this phrase is for you
Happiness is a fickle star
That flees at the call of many appointments
It fades it dies in front of us
When you think it's far, it's right there close to you
It travels it travels it travels
Then it leaves it returns it goes anywhere
Look for it it is everywhere...
