Lune [English translation]

Moon, oh sweet moon

Tell me, how my destiny will be

Tell me, how my fortune will be

Moon, oh pretty moon

Where all my gardens

and my windows* were on your dunes

Tell me if you hear

our lives up there, when they break

when they are bended

when they are exhausted

or when they laugh

Moon, oh poor moon

You must have seen sadful sorrows,

loneliness, bitterness

Moon, tender moon

You must know what are the reasons behind them

our terrors and our confusions

All of which light us up would die out one day

All of which count would mean nothing

Oh, moon lights us the way

Moon, I have learned nothing

Neither death nor life

nor infinite sadness

But when I see you laugh

Hope falls upon me

Moon, oh round moon

You are our desperate mother

Our winds, our wonders, our froths

Moon, oh blond moon

This is what happened to us

And our lives tremble like feathers

But there're still summer nights

and your stars and your beauty

and you, so sweet, to watch over us

Moon, I believe in nothing

Neither in gods nor in dogs

nor uncertain future

But when I see you shine

Faith falls upon me
