Au Clair De Lune Lyrics in English Hiro

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Au Clair De Lune by Hiro from French to English.
Au clair de la lune
In the moonlight
Mon ami Pierrot
My friend Pierrot
Enjambe la fenêtre de Marie là-haut
Steps over Marie's window up there
Elle attend la folle
She waits eagerly
Et les bras ouverts
With open arms
Danse la carmagnole
Dances the carmagnole
Dans la nuit d'hiver
In the winter night
Au clair de la lune
In the moonlight
Pierrot d'Amérique
Pierrot from America
En lunettes d'écailles
In tortoiseshell glasses
mon Dieu quel chic
My God, how chic
Chante sa romance
Sings his romance
Amour du printemps
Spring love
Quand il recommence
When it starts again
Il s'y prend à temps
He does it in time
Au clair de la lune
In the moonlight
La petite Anna
Little Anna
Va cueillir des prunes
Goes to pick plums
Avec son papa
With her dad
Son papa lui donne
Her dad gives her
Un morceau de chocolat
A piece of chocolate
qu'elle est mignonne
How cute she is
La petite Anna
Little Anna
Au clair de la lune
In the moonlight
Mes amis m'ont dit
My friends told me
Place de Pampelune
Place de Pampelune
Vous étiez jeudi
You were there on Thursday
Et l'impératrice
And the empress
Vous a embrassé
Kissed you
Non c'est une actrice du Théâtre-Français
No, it's an actress from the Théâtre-Français
Ce fut une histoire
It was a story
Unique à Paris
Unique in Paris
J'y gagnais la gloire
I gained glory there
J'y perdis l'esprit
I lost my mind there
Car l'impératrice
Because the empress
M'eût aimé d'amour
Loved me with love
Tandis que l'actrice ne m'aima qu'un jour
While the actress only loved me for a day
Au clair de la lune
In the moonlight
Théâtre Guignol
Guignol Theater
Juché sur la dune
Perched on the dune
Dans un si bémol
In a B flat
Tu chantes poète
You sing, poet
Au gré des saisons
According to the seasons
Et tu perds la tête
And you lose your mind
Qui donc a raison
Who is right then
Au clair de la lune
In the moonlight
Les oiseaux du ciel
The birds of the sky
N'ont pas de fortune
Have no fortune
Ni ruche ni miel
No hive, no honey
Ils déploient leurs ailes
They spread their wings
Ivres dans l'azur
Drunk in the azure
mon Dieu quelles ailes
My God, what wings
Par-dessus le mur
Over the wall
Au clair de la lune
In the moonlight
Ainsi va le temps
So goes the time
Quand la lune est brune
When the moon is brown
Nous avons vingt ans
We are twenty years old
Quand la lune est blonde

Nous n'avons pas tant

Ainsi va le monde

Depuis bien longtemps
For a long time
