i think the meaning of this song is more direct. there is a case in genetics diseases called Xeroderma where the patients are called "enfants de la lune" as "children of the moon". in this disease, you cant come out during the day because your skin is too sensible to UV light emanated by the sun so even in a very small dose, you will get skin cancer directly. also, most patients get cancer at a very young age and often cant live for more than "teenager stage". they only go out during the night to do everything! so in this song i think that its a child that has xeroderma singing about his case and how his only friend is the moon because she is the only one he spent time with (he cant go out during the day with everyone). so he is complaining to her, about the cruelty of the sun without him knowing "et le soleil ne le sait pas". although he is pathetic, the moon laughs at him and at his lost love: he maybe likes a girl who doesnt like him back have his disease but she doesnt love him anymore because his disease is too exhausting for their relationship so she doesnt want him anymore:"si tu voulais encore de moi". first maybe she was okay with it because they both hoped his situation was temporary (they are children and ignore its gravity) :"c'etait juste une aventure" , "ca ne durerait pas". then when they understand its a lifetime disease, she leaves and abandons him with no explication so he turn to the moon -the only one he spend long time with- and ask her questions "j'ai demande a la lune". in addition he says " le ciel n'avait pas fiere allure" as "the sky didn't look good" but to the opposite of what we may think, this doesn't mean the sky was stormy or dark, but on the contrary shiny and clear because in this case, sun and light are the enemy, and darkness is the friend so it makes sense that he is telling the moon that the sky didn't look good without her, during the day, with the sun shinning and burning bright. also he says" je ne guerissais pas" that means "i wasn't healing" that may refer to this permanent -aggravating through time-disease. at the beginning of the song he says: "je lui ai montre mes brulures" that may refer to the burns that patients can get so easily when exposed briefly to sunbeam. furthermore he says "le meilleur me fait souffrir" - translated:" the best makes me suffer". effectively the best can refer to all great experiences that every human can live and all the best activities one's can do. in that way, most of them are done during the day so it makes him suffer physically if he gets out (burns) and mentally because of his disease that doesn't let him live and enjoy like everyone else. finally the first sentence said by the moon is "j'ai pas l'habitude de m'occuper des cas comme ca". xeroderma is an extremely rare disease so in some way the moon doesn't usually deal with situations like that.
