[Verse 1]
I remember when I met you
All the stars were hanging in mid-air
In those moments nothing mattered
But the way you caught me in your stare
We were walking, we were talking
We were laughing about the state of our lives
How our fates brought us together
As the moon was rising in your eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
On and on the night was falling
Deep down inside us
On and on a light was shining
Right through
[Chorus]
Ah, la luna, la luna
The night that we fell
Under the spell of the moon
Ah, la luna, la luna
The light that will bring me back to you
The light of la luna
[Verse 2]
In the hotels, in the cafés
All the world was mad with romance
In the harbour, moonlit water
All the ships were swaying in a dance
Then you held me and you kissed me
And I knew I had to be with you
You didn't ask me, you just took me
To the tiny bed in your tiny room
[Pre-Chorus]
On and on the band was playing
A song of surrender
On and on, the sun would soon
Break through
[Chorus]
Ah, la luna, la luna
The night that we fell
Under the spell of the moon
Ah, la luna, la luna
The light that will bring me back to you
Ah, la luna, la luna
The night that we fell
Under the spell of the moon
Ah, la luna, la luna
The light that will bring me back to you
The light of la luna
[Bridge]
Now I walk along the streets of Marseille
The winter sky is cold and grey
And I don't know why I left you that day
And I don't know where you are
[Chorus]
Ah, la luna, la luna
The night that we fell
Under the spell of the moon
Ah, la luna, la luna
The light that will bring me back to you
Ah, la luna, la luna
The night that we fell
Under the spell of the moon
Ah, la luna, la luna
The light that will bring me back to you
I remember when I met you
All the stars were hanging in mid-air
In those moments nothing mattered
But the way you caught me in your stare
We were walking, we were talking
We were laughing about the state of our lives
How our fates brought us together
As the moon was rising in your eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
On and on the night was falling
Deep down inside us
On and on a light was shining
Right through
[Chorus]
Ah, la luna, la luna
The night that we fell
Under the spell of the moon
Ah, la luna, la luna
The light that will bring me back to you
The light of la luna

In the hotels, in the cafés
All the world was mad with romance

Ah, la luna, la luna
The night that we fell
Under the spell of the moon
Ah, la luna, la luna
The light that will bring me back to you
