Under the Mirabeau Bridge flows the Seine

The Seine keeps flowing

Of our loves

under the Mirabeau Bridge -

And must I be reminded of them when

and our loves also -

What joy we had forever came with pain

I need to remember that

joy always follows sorrow.

The hours chime as night follows day

Days go by while I stay

And when night's bell tolls

the days take their departure -

We’ll wait hands in hands face facing face

I alone remain

As under the

Bridge of our arms the empty space lets pass

Holding hand in hand,

A wave weary of our eternal gaze

let us sit face to face while

underneath the bridge

The hours chime as night follows day

of our arms pass eternal

Days go by while I stay

gazings on such weary waves.

Love slips away like this water’s flow

And when nights bell tolls

It must go

the days take their departuure -

Because life is too slow

I alone remain

And hope is violence and vertigo

Love is flowing fast

The hours chime as night follows day

away, just as these flowing

Days go by while I stay

waters flow away

slow as life itself flows by -

Days drag on and weeks drag on

how violent Hope becomes.

Neither can

Time past return nor loves gone

And when the night's bell tolls

Under the Mirabeau Bridge flows the Seine

the days take their departure -

I alone remain

The days passing by,

the weeks passing by - and yet

neither our past time

nor our loves return - under

Mirabeau Bridee flows the Seine -

And when night s bell tolls

the days take their departure -

I alone remain
