La lune trop blême
Pose un diadème
Sur tes cheveux roux
La lune trop rousse
De gloire éclabousse
Ton jupon plein trous
La lune trop pâle
Caresse l'opale
De tes yeux blasés
Princesse de la rue
Soit la bienvenue
Dans mon coeur brisé
The stairways up to la butte
Can make the wretched sigh
While windmill wings of the Moulin
Shelter you and I
Ma petite mandigotte
Je sens ta menotte
Qui cherche ma main
Je sens ta poitrine
Et ta taille fine
J'oublie mon chagrin
Je sens sur tes lèvres
Une odeur de fièvre
De gosse mal nourrie
Et sous ta caresse
Je sens une ivresse
Qui m'anéantit
The stairways up to la butte
Could make the wretched sigh
While windmill wings of the Moulin
Shelter you and I
Mais voilà qu'elle trotte
La lune qu'il flotte
La princesse aussi
La la la la la
La la la la la
Mes rêves épanouis
Les escaliers de la butte
Sont durs aux miséreux
Les ailes du moulin
Protègent les amoureux
