anyone recognize this folk song?

[Allison Stewart]

I remember a song from

[karen-conoan]

This is French, not Italian, but is about the moon.

[barbara-brundage]

Je n’ai plus de feu but I don’t think that is the song she wants.

[Allison Stewart]

Thanks, but it’s not the same one.

Full text of Au Claire de la Lune in french and english:

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

I’m standing by the moonlight, my dear friend Pierrot

Please give me a pencil, I need to write a note

My candle is dying, soon it will be dark

Open up your door please, Pierrot mon ami

Au clair de la lune, Pierrot répondit

Je n’ai pas de plume, je suis dans mon lit

Va chez la voisine, je crois qu’elle y est

Car dans sa cuisine, on bat le briquet

I’m standing by the moonlight, Pierrot answer me

I haven’t got a pencil, I’m lying in my bed

Go and ask the neighbor, I think that she’s at home

Someone’s in the kitchen, a flickering light is on

Refrain

Open up your door please, Pierrot mon ami

Zoraida

[patricia-jaeger]

Allison, this tune might be Italian, because il means the, and luna is moon,
