The Mirabeau BridgePhilip Nikolayev 译

Mirabeau Bridge理查德·威尔伯 译


Under the Mirabeau Bridge flows the Seine
Under the Mirabeau Bridge there flows the Seine
Of our loves
          Must I recall
And must I be reminded of them when
     Our loves recall how then
What joy we had forever came with pain
After each sorrow joy came back again

The hours chime as night follows day
Let night come on bells end the day
Days go by while I stay
The days go by me still I stay

We’ll wait hands in hands face facing face
Hands joined and face to face let's stay just so
As under the
          While underneath
Bridge of our arms the empty space lets pass
     The bridge of our arms shall go
A wave weary of our eternal gaze
Weary of endless looks the river's flow

The hours chime as night follows day
Let night come on bells end the day
Days go by while I stay
The days go by me still I stay

Love slips away like this water’s flow
All love goes by as water to the sea
It must go
          All love goes by
Because life is too slow
     How slow life seems to me
And hope is violence and vertigo
How violent the hope of love can be

The hours chime as night follows day
Let night come on bells end the day
Days go by while I stay
The days go by me still I stay

Days drag on and weeks drag on
The days the weeks pass by beyond our ken
Neither can
          Neither time past
Time past return nor loves gone
     Nor love comes back again
Under the Mirabeau Bridge flows the Seine
Under the Mirabeau Bridge there flows the Seine

Let night come on bells end the day
The days go by me still I stay
