Romance de la lune

(Sung text translation for setting by B. Rands)

See original

Language: French (Français) after the Spanish (Español)

La lune est venue à la forge
avec sa tournure de nards.
L'enfant la regarde, regarde,
L'enfant est en train de la regarder.

Dans l'air agité
la lune bouge ses bras
et montre, lubrique et pure,
ses seins de dur étain.
