Twenty Four Hours cover version of the famous song by King Crimson

lyrics

MOONCHILD (lyrics Peter Sinfield)
Call her moonchild
Dancing in the shallows of a river
Lonely moonchild
Dreaming in the shadows of a willow
Talking to the trees of the cobweb strange
Sleeping on the steps of a fountain
Waving silver wands to the night-bird's song
Waiting for the sun on the mountain
She's a moonchild
Gathering the flowers in a garden
Lovely moonchild
Drifting in the echoes of the hours
Sailing on the wind in a milk white gown
Dropping circle stones on a sun dial
Playing hide and seek with the ghosts of dawn
Waiting for a smile from a sun child
----------------------------------------------------------
Voilà la fille de la lune, en sautant sur l'île du fleuve
fille de la lune perdue, ébris à l'ombre un rêve d'un saule
elle parle avec les arbres, toiles d'araignées de la forêt, doucement son sommeil sur la marche d'une fontaine
elle dirige le coeur des chouettes avec une baguette argentée en attendant le soleil au milieu des montagnes
C'est la fille de la lune, collectionne fleurs dans un jardin
adorable fille de la lune, flotte entre les coups des heures
la ta blanche tunique lactée voile au vent, pendant que tu asperges des cailloux sur le front d'une méridienne
joue à se cacher avec l'esprit de l'horreur en espérant un sourire du fils du soleil.

MOONCHILD (testo di Peter Sinfield)
Chiamatela Figlia della Luna
Che danza nelle acque poco profonde di un fiume
Adorabile Figlia della Luna
Che sogna all'ombra
Di un salice
Parla agli alberi
Della strana ragnatela
Dorme sui gradini di una fontana
Dirige con bacchette d'argento
La canzone degli uccelli notturni
Attende il sole sulla montagna
E' una Figlia della Luna
Che raccoglie i fiori in un giardino
Adorabile Figlia della Luna
Che va alla deriva negli echi delle ore
Naviga nel vento
In un candido vestito
Lascia cadere pietre tonde su una meridiana
Gioca a nascondino
Coi fantasmi dell'alba
Aspetta un sorriso da un Figlio del Sole
