Under the Pont Mirabeau the Seine

Under the Mirabeau Bridge there flows the Seine

Flows with our loves

          Must I recall

Must I recall again?

     Our loves recall how then

Joy always used to follow after pain

After each sorrow joy came back again

Let the night come: strike the hour

Let night come on bells end the day

The days go past while I stand here

The days go by me still I stay

Hands holding hands let us stay face to face

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

While under this

          While underneath

Bridge our arms make slow race

     The bridge of our arms shall go

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

Weary of endless looks the river's flow

Let the night come: strike the hour

Let night come on bells end the day

The days go past while I stand here

The days go by me still I stay

Love runs away like running water flows

All love goes by as water to the sea

Love flows away

          All love goes by

But oh how slow life goes

     How slow life seems to me

How violent hope is nobody knows

How violent the hope of love can be

Let the night come: strike the hour

Let night come on bells end the day

The days go past while I stand here

The days go by me still I stay

The days pass and the weeks pass but in vain

The days the weeks pass by beyond our ken

Neither time past

          Neither time past

Nor love comes back again

     Nor love comes back again

Under the Pont Mirabeau flows the Seine

Under the Mirabeau Bridge there flows the Seine

Let the night come: strike the hour

Let night come on bells end the day

The days go past but I stay here

The days go by me still I stay
