    And you, the powerful of the earth,
    You all who seem to live as brothers,
    You whose palaces are illuminated
    to celebrate the neighboring nations!
    Why the night in silence,
    These black battalions advancing?
    Why these soldiers almost children
    That are torn from their mothers?
    Do your duty, little soldier,
    but you, the great ones, remember!

    Here is a verse from the moon looking at you. When one knows that it dates back to 1915, this song takes on its full meaning. Any information about this song interests me... thank you.

        The moon is watching you


        Since eternity I roll
        The whole world knows my ball
        Chasing away the dark night
        I see everything, I am the moon

        Look over there in that dark corner
        What do I see again in the shadow
        two lovers making a vow
        to love each other forever
        have fun I say to them, love is sweet
        don't believe it, that would be crazy

        chorus

        the moon is watching you
        its pale light
        seems to celebrate with one heart
        the union of souls and hearts
        you who dream in your dreams
        I laugh at your lies
        tomorrow I will see you cry
        beware, the moon is watching you

        The peasant son of the earth
        has fallen asleep in his cottage
        he dreams of the upcoming harvest
        that will fill his woolen sack
        but what are all these strange people
        sneaking into his barn
        if it's to rest there
        railway workers, why do you hide
        if it’s to do something bad
        it's still time, get away

        chorus

        the moon is watching you
        its pale light
        seems to celebrate with one heart
        the good people and the thieves
        you think I am an accomplice
        but fear my justice
        tomorrow I will denounce you
        beware, the moon is watching you


        and you, the powerful of the earth
        you all who seem to live as brothers
        you whose palaces shine
        to celebrate neighboring nations
        why at night in silence
        these dark battalions advancing
        why these soldiers, almost children
        taken away from their mothers
        do your duty little chick
        but you, the great, remember

        chorus

        the moon is watching you
        its pale light
        has often seen your fields
        covered with dead and dying
        you who dream of glory
        of laurels and victories
        tomorrow I will see you die
        beware, the moon is watching you

        I thank Hubert very much for the lyrics of "The Moon Is Watching." Thanks to you, we will be able to sing as a family and reminisce about good memories. I know the tune of this song, but I don't know the music notation to send you the music.
        Thank you again.
