Under the Mirabeau Bridge there flows the Seine

Under the Mirabeau bridge flows the Seine

          Must I recall

           And our love

     Our loves recall how then

     Comes back to memory again

After each sorrow joy came back again

Where always joy came after pain

Let night come on bells end the day

Comes night, the hours sound

The days go by me still I stay

Days go round in which to drown

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

Hand in hand, face to face

          While underneath

          While underneath

     The bridge of our arms shall go

     The bridge of our embrace

Weary of endless looks the river's flow

Eternal gazes, weary waves

Let night come on bells end the day

Comes night, the hours sound

The days go by me still I stay

Days go round in which to drown

All love goes by as water to the sea

Love goes away like the water flows

          All love goes by

          Love goes away

     How slow life seems to me

     Like life is slow

How violent the hope of love can be

And like Hopefulness is violent

Let night come on bells end the day

Comes night, the hours sound

The days go by me still I stay

Days go round in which to drown

The days the weeks pass by beyond our ken

Pass the days, pass the nights

          Neither time past

          Neither time past

     Nor love comes back again

     Nor love comes back

Under the Mirabeau Bridge there flows the Seine

Under the Mirabeau bridge flows the Seine

Let night come on bells end the day

Comes night, the hours sound

The days go by me still I stay

Days go round in which to drown
