Song lyrics
La complainte de la butte 
By Georges Van Parys, Jean Renoir

En haut de la rue St-Vincent 
Un poète et une inconnue 
S'aimèrent l'espace d'un instant 
Mais il ne l'a jamais revue 

Cette chanson il composa 
Espérant que son inconnue 
Un matin d'printemps l'entendra 
Quelque part au coin d'une rue 

La lune trop blême 
Pose un diadème 
Sur tes cheveux roux 
La lune trop rousse 
De gloire éclabousse 
Ton jupon plein d'trous 

La lune trop pâle 
Caresse l'opale 
De tes yeux blasés 
Princesse de la rue 
Soit la bienvenue 
Dans mon coeur blessé 

Les escaliers de la butte sont durs aux miséreux 
Les ailes des moulins protègent les amoureux 

Petite mendigote 
Je sens ta menotte 
Qui cherche ma main 
Je sens ta poitrine 
Et ta taille fine 
J'oublie mon chagrin 

Je sens sur tes lèvres 
Une odeur de fièvre 
De gosse mal nourri 
Et sous ta caresse 
Je sens une ivresse 
Qui m'anéantit 

Les escaliers de la butte sont durs aux miséreux 
Les ailes des moulins protègent les amoureux 

Mais voilà qu'il flotte 
La lune se trotte 
La princesse aussi 
Sous le ciel sans lune 
Je pleure à la brune 
Mon rêve évanoui 
Lament of the mound
Roughly translated by C. Marcotte with help from Alex, Diane and Laeti 

At the top of St-Vincent street
A poet and a (female) stranger
Loved each other the space of a moment
But he never saw her again

This song he wrote
Hoping that his (female) stranger
Will hear it on a spring morning
Somewhere on a street corner

The moon too wan
Puts a diadem
On your red hair
The moon too red
Blinds gloriously
Your underskirt full of holes

The moon too pale
Caresses the opal
Of your tired eyes
Princess of the street
Be welcome
In my broken heart

The steps of the mound are hard to the destitute
The wings of the windmills protect lovers

Little beggar
I feel your shackle
That seeks my hand
I feel your chest
And your slim waist
I forget my sorrow

I smell on your lips
The smell of fever
Of a malnourished child
And under your caress
I feel a rapture
That destroys me

The steps of the mound are hard to the destitute
The wings of the windmills protect lovers

But see he floats
The moon scampers
The princess too
Under the moonless sky
I cry to the fog
My vanishing dream
