Under the Mirabeau Bridge there flows the Seine

The Seine keeps flowing

          Must I recall

under the Mirabeau Bridge -

     Our loves recall how then

and our loves also -

After each sorrow joy came back again

I need to remember that

joy always follows sorrow.

Let night come on bells end the day

The days go by me still I stay

And when night's bell tolls

the days take their departure -

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

I alone remain

          While underneath

     The bridge of our arms shall go

Holding hand in hand,

Weary of endless looks the river's flow

let us sit face to face while

underneath the bridge

Let night come on bells end the day

of our arms pass eternal

The days go by me still I stay

gazings on such weary waves.

All love goes by as water to the sea

And when nights bell tolls

          All love goes by

the days take their departuure -

     How slow life seems to me

I alone remain

How violent the hope of love can be

Love is flowing fast

Let night come on bells end the day

away, just as these flowing

The days go by me still I stay

waters flow away

slow as life itself flows by -

The days the weeks pass by beyond our ken

how violent Hope becomes.

          Neither time past

     Nor love comes back again

And when the night's bell tolls

Under the Mirabeau Bridge there flows the Seine

the days take their departure -

I alone remain

Let night come on bells end the day

The days go by me still I stay

The days passing by,

the weeks passing by - and yet

neither our past time

nor our loves return - under

Mirabeau Bridee flows the Seine -

And when night s bell tolls

the days take their departure -

I alone remain
