Cache-cache avec la lune  /   Hide and seek with the moon

 

 

Je vois la lune au lointain

Jouer à cache-cache jusqu’au matin

Quand le soleil à son réveil

Renvoi la lune à son sommeil.

 

Et là perché sur l’olivier

L’oiseau aux plumes ébouriffées

Chante sa chanson à l’unisson

Avec le vent dans les buissons.

 

Qui a essayé de retrouver

La clef qui a été jeté

Par-dessus la ligne d’horizon

Sans aucune gêne aucune raison.

 

 

 

I see the moon far away

Playing hide and seek until the morning

When the sun awakens

Sends the moon back to sleep.

 

And here on top of the olive tree

The bird with its feathers in disarray

Sing its song together

With the wind (blowing in the bushes).

 

Who tried to retrieve?

The key that was thrown away

Over the horizon line

Without a care … and no reason.

Oh you write so beautifully. I can picture the moon playing hide and seek... what a wonderful way to put it..

Who tried to retrieve?
The key that was thrown away
Over the horizon line
Without a care � and no reason.

So delicately put.
