La lune trop bl ame (the moon too white)

Pose un diad me (puts a tiara)

Sur tes cheveux roux. (on your red hair)

La lune trop rousse (the moon too red)

De gloire clabousse (with glory splashes)

Ton jupon plein de trous. (your ragged underskirt)

La lune trop p le (the moon too pale)

Caresse l'opale (caress the opal)

De tes yeux blass. (of your indifferent eyes)

Princesse de la rue (princess of the streets)

Sois la bienvenue (be welcome)

Dans mon coeur bris. (in my broken heart)

The stairways up to la butte

Can make the wretched sigh.

While windmill wings of the Moulin

Shelter you and I.

Ma p'tite mandigotte (my little beggar)

Je sens ta menotte (I feel your hand)

Qui cherche ma main. (searching for mine)

Je sens ta poitrine (I feel your chest)

Et ta taille fine (and your slim waist)

J'oublie mon chagrin. (I forget my sorrow)

Je sens sur tes l ovres (I smell on your lips

Une odeur de fi ovre (a scent of fever)

De gosse mal nourrie (of an underfed kid)

Et sous ta caresse (and under your caress)

Je sens une ivresse (I feel a drunkeness)

Qui m'anantit. (that kills me)

The stairways up to la butte

Can make the wretched sigh

While windmill wings of the Moulin

Shelter you and I

Mais voil qu'elle trotte (and there

She goes strutting about)

La lune qui flotte (the floating moon)

La princesse aussi. (along with the princess)

Lalala....

Mes r aves panouis. (my thriving dreams)

Les escaliers de la butte (The stairways up to la butte)

Sont durs aux misreux. (are tough on the poor)

Les ailes du Moulin (the wings of the Moulin)

Prot gent les amoureux. (shelter those who love)
