Je voudrais m’arracher le coeur
Language: French (Français) 
Je voudrais m’arracher le coeur
pour qu’il devienne la lune là-haut
je la suspendrais bien à sa place
dans la profondeur illimitée du ciel
pour qu’elle éclaire le lieu
où demeure mon bien-aimé.

Ich möchte das Herz mir ausreißen
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the French (Français) 
Ich möchte das Herz mir ausreißen,
auf dass es der Mond dort oben werde.
Würde hängen ihn an seinen Ort.
In der unbegrenzten Himmelstiefe,
damit den Ort er erhelle,
wo mein Geliebter wohnt.
