Le soleil et la lune [English translation]

On the roof of the hotel where I live with you

When I wait for you to come my friend

When the night makes them sing louder and better than me

All the cats, all the cats, all the cats

What do they say on the roofs, repeated by the voices

of those cats, of those cats, of those bored cats

The songs that I know, that I translate for you

Here they are, here they are, there you go

Chorus:

The sun has a date with the moon

But the moon isn't there and so the sun just waits

One will come down here and wait for the other

But they're both doing exactly the same thing

The moon is there, the moon is there

The moon is there but then sun doesn't see her

To find her, it must be night

It must be night but the sun doesn't know and keeps on shining

The sun has a date with the moon

But the moon isn't there and so the sun just waits

The experts, warned by the rain and the wind,

One day announced the end of the world

The papers talked about it most emotionally

About the prophesies of the experts

Many panicked people asked officials

If the world was really going to end

It was then that the doctors, experts and professors

Suddenly all burst into song

Chorus

Philosophers, listen, this part’s for you

Happiness is a fickle star

Who runs away from a good many dates

He hides, he dies in front of us

When we think he is far, he is there right next to you

He likes to travel, he likes to travel

He leaves, he comes back, and he goes some place else

Go and look for him, there’s a bit of him everywhere
