Le soleil et la lune

On the roof of the hotel where I live with you
When I wait for your arrival my friend
When the night makes you sing louder and better than me
All cats all cats all cats
What do they say on the rooftops that the voices repeat?
Of these cats, of these bored cats
Songs I know I translate for you
Here they are, here they are, here they are

The sun has a date with the moon
But the moon is not there and the sun is waiting
Here below, often each for himself
Everyone must do the same
The moon is here, the moon is here
The moon is there, but the sun doesn't see it
To find it, you need night
It takes night but the sun doesn't know it and always shines
The sun has a date with the moon
But the moon is not there and the sun is waiting
Dad says he saw that himself

Scientists warned by rain and wind
Announced, one day, the end of the world
The newspapers commented in moving terms
The opinions, the confessions, of the scholars
Many panicked people asked the agents
If the world were caught in the round
It was then that doctors, scientists and professors
They all sang subito in chorus

The sun has a date with the moon
But the moon is not there and the sun is waiting
Here below, often each for himself
Everyone must do the same
The moon is here, the moon is here
The moon is there, but the sun doesn't see it
To find it, you need night
It takes night but the sun doesn't know it and always shines
The sun has a date with the moon
But the moon is not there and the sun is waiting
Dad says he saw that himself

Philosophers, listen to this sentence is for you
Happiness is a fickle star
Who runs away at the call of many appointments
He fades away, he dies before us
When you think he is far away, he is right there next to you
He travels, he travels, he travels
Then he leaves, he comes back, he goes anywhere
Look for it, it's everywhere

The sun has a date with the moon
But the moon is not there and the sun is waiting
Here below, often each for himself
Everyone must do the same
The moon is here, the moon is here, the moon is here
The moon is there, the moon is there but the sun does not see it
To find it you need night
It takes night but the sun doesn't know it and always shines
The sun has a date with the moon
But the moon is not there and the sun is waiting
Dad says he saw that himself
Dad says he saw that himself
