Moulin Rouge - Nature Boy lyrics

There was a boy

A very strange, enchanted boy

They say he wandered very far, very far

Over land and sea

A little shy

And sad of eye

But very wise

Was he

And then one day

The magic day he passed my way

And while we spoke of many things

Fools and kings

This he said to me

"The greatest thing

You'll ever learn

Is just to love

And be loved

In return."

The Moulin Rouge.

A nightclub.

A dancehall and a bardello.

Kingdom of night time pleasures.

Where the rich and powerful

came to play with the young

and beautiful creatures of the underworld.

The most beautiful of all these was the woman I loved.

Satine.

A courtesan.

She sold her love to men.

They called her the sparkling diamond

And she was the star

Of the Moulin Rouge
