L'Hôtel du Clair de Lune [English translation]

All spring that hugs us

Advises us on privacy,

We’re not going to a palace

Where you dance taking tea

It goes on the postcards

To attract travellers

But on a pale blue boulevard,

I know a better hotel

Closed by day, open by night,

This is the Moonlight Hotel

That keeps its unheard luxury

For those who have no fortune

We can always rest there

And we pay with kisses.

Closed by day, open by night,

This is the Moonlight Hotel

Oh, my love, far from the noise,

Let’s go to that pretty blue corner,

When a room is in foliage

The hearts are much more in love.

Come quickly, our bed will be soft

The dream spreads its oblivion

And when the carpets are foam,

The sky is better than a bed sky

Closed by day, open by night,

This is the Moonlight Hotel

That keeps its unheard luxury

For those who have no fortune

We can always rest there

And we pay with kisses.

Closed by day, open by night,

This is the Moonlight Hotel

We can always rest there

And we pay with kisses,

Closed by day, open by night,

This is the Moonlight Hotel.
