La Complainte de la Butte Lyrics – Rufus Wainwright

Soundtrack Album: Moulin Rouge

La Complainte de la Butte Text

La lune trop blême
Pose un diadème
Sur tes cheveux rouge
La lune trop rousse
De gloire éclabousse
Ton jupon plein de trous

La lune trop pale
Caresse l'opale
De tes yeux blasés
Princesse de la rue
Soit la bienvenue
Dans mon coeur brisé

The stairways up to la butte can make the wretched sigh
While windmill wings of the Moulin shelter you and I

Ma petite mandigotte
Je sens ta menotte
Qui cherche ma main
Je sens ta poitrine
Et ta taille fine
J'oublie mon chagrin

Je sens sous tes lèvres
Une odeur de fièvre
De gosse mal nourrie
Et sous ta caresse
Je sens une ivresse
Qui m'anéantit

The stairways up to la butte can make the wretched sigh
While windmill wings of the moulin shelter you and I

Et voilà qu'elle trotte
La lune qui flotte
La princesse aussi
La la la la la La la la la la
Mes rèves épanouis

Les escaliers de la butte sont durs aux miséreux
Les ailes du Moulin protègent les amoureux
