[Male – Soft]
Look at the moon upon the water,
silver dancing on the sea.
Tonight I don’t need anything,
if you’re sitting here with me.
[Female]
Mon amour…
Regarde la lune sur la mer.
Cette nuit est à nous,
reste encore près de moi.
[Male]
N be kanu la…
[Female]
N fan n’ i ra…
[Together]
Tonight…
just you and me.

When you look into my eyes,
I can feel my whole world slow.
Underneath this African moon,
there’s nowhere else I want to go.

[Female]
I’m staying here tonight,
right here beside you.

[Pre-Chorus – French]
[Female]
Écoute les vagues sur la plage,

Si cette nuit devient un voyage,
je veux la partager avec toi.

Alors reste près de moi…
[Female]
Je reste avec toi…
