Under the Mirabeau Bridge there flows the Seine

Under the Mirabeau Bridge flows the Seine

          Must I recall

Of our loves

     Our loves recall how then

And must I be reminded of them when

After each sorrow joy came back again

What joy we had forever came with pain

Let night come on bells end the day

The hours chime as night follows day

The days go by me still I stay

Days go by while I stay

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

We’ll wait hands in hands face facing face

          While underneath

As under the

     The bridge of our arms shall go

Bridge of our arms the empty space lets pass

Weary of endless looks the river's flow

A wave weary of our eternal gaze

Let night come on bells end the day

The hours chime as night follows day

The days go by me still I stay

Days go by while I stay

All love goes by as water to the sea

Love slips away like this water’s flow

          All love goes by

It must go

     How slow life seems to me

Because life is too slow

How violent the hope of love can be

And hope is violence and vertigo

Let night come on bells end the day

The hours chime as night follows day

The days go by me still I stay

Days go by while I stay

The days the weeks pass by beyond our ken

Days drag on and weeks drag on

          Neither time past

Neither can

     Nor love comes back again

Time past return nor loves gone

Under the Mirabeau Bridge there flows the Seine

Under the Mirabeau Bridge flows the Seine

Let night come on bells end the day

The days go by me still I stay
