Marianne Marie's (mezzo-soprano) demo cover version of a song from the Croatian movie Gospodjica aka The Woman from Sarajevo ( 1980 ), written by the Croatian composer Alfi Kabiljo on a text by Alfred de Musset and sung by the famous Croatian and French singer La Tereza Kesovia.
The demo is recorded by a mobile phone in September 2014.

Ballade à la Lune
C' était dans la nuit brune,
Sur son clocher jauni,
La lune, La Lune
Comme un point sur un "i"
Lune, quel esprit sombre
Promène au bout d'un fil,
Dans l'ombre, dans l'ombre
Ta face et ton profil ?
(refrain : )
Et la vie et les jours perdus
Tout s'en va comme la fumée
Et moi qui Vous ai tant aimé
Et toi qui ne t'en souvient plus!
Es-tu, je t'en soupçonne,
Le vieux cadran de fer
Qui sonne, qui sonne
L'heure aux damnés d'enfer ?
Sur ton front qui voyage,
Ce soir ont-ils compté
Quel âge, quel âge
A leur éternité ?
Ballad To The Moon
It Appears in the Darkest of the Night
Above the yellowed Church Tower
The Moon, the Moon
Like a Dot on the letter " i " .
Moon, what a Gloomy (dark) Spirit
That Walks Behind a Wire
In the Shadows, in the Shadows
Is that your Face and your Profile ?
(chorus : )
A Lifetime and the Lost Days
Everything Slips Away like the Smoke
And me who Loved You So Much
And You who Doesn't Remember It Anymore!
Moon, Are You, I suspect it,
The Old Sundial Clock
That Rings Out and Marks Off
The Hours of the Damned Souls of Hell?
On Your Forehead that Travels
This Evening have the Hours Counted
How Old, how Old
The Eternity Is?
Translation by Marianne Marie
