Lyrics (English Translation)

What does this evening remind you of, full of dust from old pictures,
Some music playing, a candle flame hides the outlines of her face.
The street is empty, everything is quiet, and shadows dance under the window,
I close my eyes, I lose my strength, as the wind caresses her lips.

Chorus:
It’s the ghost moon again, fix your hair and makeup for the occasion,
In the nights of the full moon, take the pupils off your fake eyes.
It’s the ghost moon again, fix your hair and makeup for the occasion,
In the nights of the full moon, take the pupils off your fake eyes.

What does this evening remind you of, full of dust from old pictures,
Some music playing, a candle flame hides the outlines of her face.
The street is empty, everything is quiet, and shadows dance under the window,
I close my eyes, I lose my strength, as the wind caresses her lips.

Chorus (repetition):
It’s the ghost moon again, fix your hair and makeup for the occasion,
In the nights of the full moon, take the pupils off your fake eyes.
It’s the ghost moon again, fix your hair and makeup for the occasion,
In the nights of the full moon, take the pupils off your fake eyes.
