Paul Simon - Song About the Moon Lyrics & Traduction

If you want to write a song about the moon
Walk along the craters of the afternoon
When the shadows are deep and the light is alien
And gravity leaps like a knife off the pavement


And you want to write a song about the moon
You want to write a spiritual tune
Then na na na yeah, presto
A song about the moon


If you want to write a song about the heart
Think about the moon before you start
Because the heart will howl like a dog in the moonlight
And the heart can explode like a pistol on a June night


So if you want to write a song about the heart
And its ever-longing for a counterpart
Then na na na na yeah yeah yeah
Write a song about the moon


The laughing boy, he laughed so hard
He fell down from his place
The laughing girl, she laughed so hard
That tears rolled down her face

Hey songwriter, if you want to write a song about a face
Think about a photograph that you really can't remember but you can't erase
Wash your hands in dreams and lightning
Cut off your hair and whatever is frightening


If you want to write a song about a face
If you want to write a song about the human race
Then na na na na yeah yeah
Write a song about the moon


If you want to write a song about the moon
You want to write a spiritual tune
Na na na na na na yeah yeah yeah, then do it
Write a song about the moon
