My grandmother sang to me

I'm looking for a song from the 30s or 40s that my grandmother used to sing to me.
I don't know the title or the artist.
But I remember some of the lyrics.
Be careful going out at night, be careful in the dark corners, pretty brunette,
because love, that little libertine, is even sneakier under the moon.
She casts a mischievous glance from the heights of the heavens at each one,
her smile is always mocking when she can trap your heart.
Thank you for your help.

Be careful not to go out at night (the title)

How many little girls among you have lost their heads to love
As night falls, they go to meet the boys in the street
It starts with words, it ends with kisses

Hey!
Be careful not to go out at night, watch out for the dark corners, pretty brunette
Because love, that little libertine, is even slyer under the moon
She casts a mischievous glance from high above at each one,
Her smile is always mocking when she can ensnare your heart

Your hair, your hands so pretty blend, my queen, into the night
I am in ecstasy before you, all these are empty phrases and words
He thinks to himself, at night all cats are gray

Hey!
Be careful not to go out at night, watch out for the dark corners, pretty brunette
Because love, that little libertine, is even slyer under the moon
She casts a mischievous glance from high above at each one,
Her smile is always mocking when she can ensnare your heart

Hello Nostalgie. That's great, it's my grandmother's song.
I received another answer confirming it. It was sung by Georgel but also by Suzanne Chevalier and Berthe Sylva, composed by Vincent Scotto.
I thank you so much. Long live the internet. It's moving after so many years of searching.
Thank you, thank you.

Hello chatdegouttière. You are truly amazing. I don’t know how to thank you.
This is indeed the song I’m looking for. Thanks to all the internet users who put in the effort for the pleasure I get from rediscovering memories. Thank you very much. You are awesome.

I also found the lyrics to this song written in my grandfather's notebook; this song was sung in the trenches during the 14-18 war.
