| Au clair de la lune In the light of the moon | |
Original text | |
Au clair de la lune mon ami Pierrot Prete-moi ta plume pour écrire un mot. Ma chandelle est morte je n'ai plus de feu Ouvre-moi ta porte pour l'amour de Dieu. Au clair de la lune Pierrot repondit Je n'ai pas de plume je suis dans mon lit. Va chez la voisine je crois qu'elle y est Car dans sa cuisine on bat le briquet. Au clair de la lune l'aimable Harlequin Frappe chez la brune elle repond soudain. Qui frappe de la sorte? Il dit a son tour Ouvrez votre porte pour le Dieu d'Amour. Au clair de la lune on n'y voit qu'un peu On chercha la plume on chercha du feu En cherchant d'la sorte jJe ne sais ce qu'on trouva Mais je sais que la porte sur eux se ferma. | |

In the light of the moon, Pierrot, my friend Loan me your pen to write something down My candle's dead, I've got no flame to light it Open your door, for the love of God! In the light of the moon, Pierrot replied I don't have a pen, I'm in bed Go to the neighbor's, I think she's there Because someone just lit a match in the kitchen. In the light of the moon, likable Harlequin Knocked on the brunette's door, and she responded immediately Who's knocking like that? And he replied Open your door, for the God of Love! In the light of the moon, you can barely see anything Someone looked for a pen, someone looked for a flame In all of that looking, I don't know what was found But I do know that those two shut the door behind them.
