Song “Complainte de la butte” (film Moulin Rouge)

Fill in the gaps with the following words:

 
 Lèvres Taille Poitrine Main Coeur Cheveux Yeux
La lune trop blême pose un diadème sur tes ———— roux
La lune trop rousse de gloire éclabousse ton jupon plein d’trous
La lune trop pâle caresse l’opale de tes —– blasés
Princesse de la rue, sois la bienvenue dans mon ——- brisé

The stairways up to la butte can make the wretched sigh
while windmill wings of the moulin shelter you and I

Petite mandigotte, je sens ta menotte qui cherche ma ——-
Je sens ta ———— et ta ——– fine
J’oublie mon chagrin
Je sens sur tes ———– une odeur de fièvre de gosse mal nourri
Et sous ta caresse je sens une ivresse qui m’anéantit

The stairways up to la butte can make the wretched sigh
while windmill wings of the moulin shelter you and I

Et voilà qu’elle trotte la lune qui flotte, la princesse aussi
La da da da da da da da da da
Mes rêves épanouis

Les escaliers de la butte sont durs aux miséreux
Les ailes du moulin protègent les amoureux
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/m/moulin
