Under the Mirabeau Bridge runs the Seine

Under the Mirabeau Bridge there flows the Seine

And our love

          Must I recall

I must bring to mind once again

     Our loves recall how then

That joy always came after pain

After each sorrow joy came back again

Cometh the night chimeth the hour

Let night come on bells end the day

The days go on I lack power

The days go by me still I stay

Hands joined face to face each of us abides

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

Whilst beneath

          While underneath

The bridge our arms form slides

     The bridge of our arms shall go

The weary water of love forever's tides

Weary of endless looks the river's flow

Cometh the night chimeth the hour

Let night come on bells end the day

The days go on I lack power

The days go by me still I stay

Love passes like this running stream

All love goes by as water to the sea

Love takes its leave

          All love goes by

Life is a dream

     How slow life seems to me

And Hope a dangerous extreme

How violent the hope of love can be

Cometh the night chimeth the hour

Let night come on bells end the day

The days go on I lack power

The days go by me still I stay

On go the days and on go weeks again

The days the weeks pass by beyond our ken

Not time gone by

          Neither time past

Nor love can one regain

     Nor love comes back again

Under the Mirabeau Bridge runs the Seine

Under the Mirabeau Bridge there flows the Seine

Cometh the night chimeth the hour

Let night come on bells end the day

The days go on I lack power

The days go by me still I stay
