Ok, with these, I'm putting the original first, and the translation second

Je me souviens de vous
au minuit quand
la lune s'élève trop loin
pour moi voir
hors de ma fenêtre.

Les étoiles de néon mettent sur
mon plafond par un autre coeur solitaire qui place ici avant de me
réconforte d'une certaine façon vous n'avez jamais fait.

Les gens disent qu'une étoile
est une étoile
est une étoile
pourtant ils ne sont pas parce
que mes étoiles disent
que je vous aime
et le ne vôtre
fait pas.

La portée hors à la lune
pour moi
et tire il soutient à ma fenêtre
si je peux le faire semblant’s vous
pour un autre minuit de sleepless.

~TRANSLATION~

I remember you
at midnight when
the moon rises too far
for me to see
out of my window.

The neon stars put upon
my ceiling by another lonely
heart who lay here before me
comforts in a way
you never did.

People say that a star
is a star
is a star
yet they are not
because my stars say
I love you
and yours
do not.

Reach out to the moon
for me
and pull it back to my window
so I can pretend it’s you
for another sleepless midnight.


"Glory remains unaware of my neglected dwelling where alone
I sing my tearful song which has charms only for me."

I like this, although I would adore having it read to me in French.

I like this too, especially the star theory. I bet it sounds beautiful in French,
