Under the Mirabeau Bridge there flows the Seine

Under the Pont Mirabeau the Seine

          Must I recall

Flows with our loves

     Our loves recall how then

Must I recall again?

After each sorrow joy came back again

Joy always used to follow after pain

Let night come on bells end the day

Let the night come: strike the hour

The days go by me still I stay

The days go past while I stand here

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

Hands holding hands let us stay face to face

          While underneath

While under this

     The bridge of our arms shall go

Bridge our arms make slow race

Weary of endless looks the river's flow

Long looks in a tired wave at a wave's pace

Let night come on bells end the day

Let the night come: strike the hour

The days go by me still I stay

The days go past while I stand here

All love goes by as water to the sea

Love runs away like running water flows

          All love goes by

Love flows away

     How slow life seems to me

But oh how slow life goes

How violent the hope of love can be

How violent hope is nobody knows

Let night come on bells end the day

Let the night come: strike the hour

The days go by me still I stay

The days go past while I stand here

The days the weeks pass by beyond our ken

The days pass and the weeks pass but in vain

          Neither time past

Neither time past

     Nor love comes back again

Nor love comes back again

Under the Mirabeau Bridge there flows the Seine

Under the Pont Mirabeau flows the Seine

Let night come on bells end the day

Let the night come: strike the hour

The days go by me still I stay

The days go past but I stay here
