Do you know the story of the shepherd 

who [tried and] took the moon in his arms 

Listen to the story 

mainly if you can [agree] 

of the man who loved a woman 

You can take the [nap in your mind] 

you would like to catch the moonlight 

But you know the thing is not right 

For all of us have some secrets to fight 


Do you know the story of the shepherd 

who [tried and] took the moon in his arms 

listen to the story 

mainly if you can [agree] 

of the man who loved a woman 


[...] [us apart] 

you will get the moon from your heart 

you [...] [till you're dry] 

of the moon you were much too full

high up in the sky 

so that the man might not be tempted to steal it" 


Do you know the story of the shepherd 

who [tried and] took the moon in his arms 

listen to the story 

mainly if you can [agree] 

of the man who loved a woman 


[...] of the mind 

for today the moon is too high 

shall we try to catch some sunrise 

[you may be more lucky if you try] 

Do you know the story of the shepherd 

who [tried and] took the moon in his arms 

listen to the story 

mainly if you can [agree] 

of the man who loved a woman
