J'ai demandé à la lune [English translation]

I asked the moon

And the sun doesn’t know about it

I showed her my burns

And the moon made fun of me

And as the sky didn’t look too bright

And I wasn’t healing

I said to myself, How unfortunate

And the moon made fun of me

(Chorus)

I asked the moon

If you still wanted me

She told me ‘I’m not in the habit

Of dealing with cases like this’

And you and I

We were so sure

And we’d tell each other at times

It was just an affair

And it wouldn’t last

I have nothing much to tell you

And nothing much to make you laugh

As I always expect the worst

And the best hurts me

(Chorus)
