Moulin Rouge - Complainte De La Butte (English Version) lyrics

The too pale moon poses a tiara on your red hair

the too brown moon spills glory on your tattered petticoat

the too pale moon carresses the whites of your uninterested eyes

Princess of the street

You are welcome in my broken heart

The staircase up to the hillock is hard on the miserable

The wings of the mill protect the lovers

My little mandigotte, I sense your little hand

that finds mine

I sense your breast and your slender waist,

I forget my sorrow

I feel on your breath a scent of fever of malnourished children

And in your caress, I feel an ecstasy that overwhelms me.

The staircase up to the hillock is hard on the miserable

The wings of the mill protect the lovers

And that's why she scampers, the moon who floats

The princess, also

La la lala la, la la lala la,

My dreams bloom

The staircase up to the hillock is hard on the miserable

The wings of the mill protect the lovers
