J'ai demandé à la lune [English translation]

I asked the moon

and the sun didn't know about it.

I showed her my burns,

and the moon made fun of me.

And since the sky didn't look so good

and I wasn't healing,

I said to myself, 'How unfortunate',

and the moon made fun of me.

I asked the moon

if you still wanted me.

She said, 'I'm not in the habit

of occupying myself with things like that'.

And you and me

we were sure

we said to ourselves sometimes

that it was just an adventure

and it wouldn't last.

I don't have any big things to tell you

or any big things to make you laugh

because I always imagine the worst

and the best makes me suffer.

I asked the moon

if you still wanted me.

She said, 'I'm not in the habit

of occupying myself with things like that'.

And you and me

we were sure

we told ourselves sometimes

that it was just an adventure

and that it wouldn't last.
