Under the Mirabeau Bridge there flows the Seine

Under the Mirabeau Bridge runs the Seine

          Must I recall

And our love

     Our loves recall how then

I must bring to mind once again

After each sorrow joy came back again

That joy always came after pain

Let night come on bells end the day

Cometh the night chimeth the hour

The days go by me still I stay

The days go on I lack power

Hands joined and face to face let's stay just so

Hands joined face to face each of us abides

          While underneath

Whilst beneath

     The bridge of our arms shall go

The bridge our arms form slides

Weary of endless looks the river's flow

The weary water of love forever's tides

Let night come on bells end the day

Cometh the night chimeth the hour

The days go by me still I stay

The days go on I lack power

All love goes by as water to the sea

Love passes like this running stream

          All love goes by

Love takes its leave

     How slow life seems to me

Life is a dream

How violent the hope of love can be

And Hope a dangerous extreme

Let night come on bells end the day

Cometh the night chimeth the hour

The days go by me still I stay

The days go on I lack power

The days the weeks pass by beyond our ken

On go the days and on go weeks again

          Neither time past

Not time gone by

     Nor love comes back again

Nor love can one regain

Under the Mirabeau Bridge there flows the Seine

Under the Mirabeau Bridge runs the Seine

Let night come on bells end the day

Cometh the night chimeth the hour

The days go by me still I stay

The days go on I lack power
