The delightful tune is written in French, and there are a few translations in English that don't quite fit the melody. So it is translated here with a somewhat different flair. Just as others in the world have done, when languages, customs and time have separated original meanings and changed songs somewhat, this one is changed as well in this American rendition of the song with ukulele strum, vocal and accordion.

Au Claire de Lune
Leave it to the ingenuity of the French to combine a child's simple song and romantic love. Au Claire de la Lune is really a song that is taught to young children or they listen and learn about music from this charming melody, often presented with an instrument or music box.
