Translation by Margarita Abella Caprile (1901 - 1960)

La canción desolada
Language: Spanish (Español)  after the French (Français) 
"Au clair de la Lune" 
Pierrot duérmese,
Va glosando el eco, 
el motivo aquel.

"Ma chandelle est morte." 
¿Dónde encontraré?
Luz que a lo apagado
dé llama otra vez?

"Ouvre-moi la porte."
¿Dónde llamaré?
Me han dejado a oscuras
nada puedo ver.

Se han de repetirme
el helado y cruel:
"Va chez la voisine"
Señor ¿Para qué?
