Au Clair de la Lune - SONG

Here's a video of that very pretty, classic French nursery rhyme.


Au clair de la lune, mon ami Pierrot
Prête-moi ta plume pour écrire un mot
Ma chandelle est morte - Je n'ai plus de feu
Ouvre-moi ta porte pour l'amour de Dieu!

By the light of the moon, my friend Pierrot
Lend me you quill to so that I can write something
My candle has gone out - I've no light
Open your door for me, for the love of God!
