Up in the ebony of the night
I saw a handsome sight
The moon was caressing the earth with its radiance
Making me fall in love with it, filling my heart with joy
Ah! Only if the moon were a boy!

Everynight it comes to my window,
Like for Julliet Romeo would go
Bringing the stars along with it to tinkle and dance before me
Making me fall in love with it, filling my heart with joy
Ah! Only if the moon were a boy!

If the moon were a boy, I would rest myself in his safe arms
During the darkest hours,
If he could talk, I would listen to him gloat over his powers
If he could sing, it would fill my heart with eternal joy
Ah! If only the moon were a boy!

He would take me over the mountains and seas ,
Through the valleys and fields
Watching him light up the world during night is indeed a handsome sight.
Seeing him conquer the darkness like the king conquering his foes would fill my heart with pride!
Oh How I wish I could be his bride!
