English translation: By the light of the moon, my friend Pierrot, Lend me your quill to write a word. My candle is dead, I have no light left. Open your door for me for the love of God. This song is thought to have been composed in the 18th Century, but the composer is unknown. The lyrics were first published in the 1843 compilation Chants et chansons populaires de la France.
