Moon, you who shine your light Bright on the Paris night See, how a man suffers all for love Clear, solitary star So far, when the day returns Please hear Up there so high the cry of the world Please hear the cry, of a man in pain For whom all those million stars Don't shine like those shining eyes He loves with a mortal love Moon
Moon, please don't disappear Before you have time to hear Just hear How cries the heart of the human beast Please hear the cry, Quasimodo cries He cries for his heart is full His voice over mountains flies So high, that I know it flies to you
Moon See, how this man aspires To join, his poor voice with angels
Moon, you who shine your light For poets as they write See, how a man suffers all For love For love
