Music: Au clair de la lune

 For my music, I made a video of me playing a song I learned from my piano curriculum, Hoffman Academy. This is a french song called "Au Clair de la lune" but its original composer is unknown.

Au clair de la Lune (By the moonlight or In the clear light of the moon)



Lyrics:

Au clair de la Lune
Mon ami Pierrot
Prête-moi ta plume
Pour écrire un mot
Ma chandelle est morte
Je n'ai plus de feu
Ouvre-moi ta porte
Pour l'amour de Dieu
(those were the lyrics in the song I played but if you want the full version, here they are!)
Au clair de la Lune
Pierrot répondit
Je n'ai pas de plume
Je suis dans mon lit
Va chez la voisine
Je crois qu'elle y est
Car dans sa cuisine
On bat le briquet
Au clair de la Lune
On n'y voit qu'un peu
On cherche la plume
On cherche le feu
En cherchant d'la sorte
Je n'sais c'qu'on trouvera
Mais je sais qu'la porte
Sur eux se ferma



The song explains that the singer is knocking on the door of his friend Pierrot because he wants some light and shelter (well it is nighttime). But his friend Pierrot refuses and says, "Hey bro, you can just go over to the maiden's house right there." And the singer, narrating this story, ends the song saying, "But I know the door was closed upon both of them."
So that's it, bai!!
