Au clair de la lune

Lyrics

Au clair de la Lune mon ami Pierrot
prète moi ta plume pour écrire un mot,
ma chan-delle est morte jen’ai plus de feu,
ouvre moi ta porte pour l’amour de dieu.

At your door I’m knocking, by the pale moonlight,
Lend a pen, I beg you, I’ve a word to write.
Out has gone my candle, my fire burns no more,
For the love of heaven, open up the door!
