Under the sky of Paris
A song takes flight
Hum, hum
It was born today
In the heart of a boy
Under the sky of Paris
Lovers walk
Hum, hum
Their happiness is built
On a tune made for them

Under the bridge of Bercy
A philosopher sits
Two musicians, a few bystanders
Then people by the thousands
Under the sky of Paris
Until the evening they will sing
Hum, hum
The anthem of a people in love
With their old city

Near Notre Dame
Sometimes a drama brews
Yes but in Paris
Everything can be arranged
A few rays from the summer sky
The accordion of a sailor
Hope blooms
In the sky of Paris

Under the sky of Paris
A joyful river flows
Hum, hum
It lulls to sleep in the night
The tramps and the beggars
Under the sky of Paris
The birds of the Good Lord
Hum, hum
Come from all over the world
To chat among themselves

And the sky of Paris
Has its secret for him
For twenty centuries, it has been in love
With our Île Saint Louis
When she smiles at him
He puts on his blue suit
Hum, hum
When it rains over Paris
It's because he is unhappy
When he is too jealous
Of his millions of lovers
Hum, hum
He makes them rumble
His thunderous thunder
But the sky of Paris
Is not cruel for long
Hum, hum
To make amends
He offers a rainbow
