She was born in Paris, seventeen ninety
Like a blooming rose
In the garden of lily flowers
Marianne has five children
That she raises as best she can
Marianne now has
Some wrinkles at the corners of her eyes

God
But how beautiful Marianne was
When she walked the streets of Paris
Singing at the top of her voice
"It will be okay, it will be okay, all life long"
God
But how beautiful Marianne was
When she set the heart of Paris on fire
Shouting from the rooftops
"It will be okay, it will be okay, all life long"

It wasn't so long ago
That we fought for her
We have known springs
That shone under her sun
Marianne has five children
Four sons she has lost
The fifth now
That she no longer recognizes

God
But how beautiful Marianne was
When she walked the streets of Paris
Singing at the top of her voice
"It will be okay, it will be okay, all life long"
God
But how beautiful Marianne was
When she set the heart of Paris on fire
Shouting from the rooftops
"It will be okay, it will be okay, all life long"

God
But how beautiful Marianne was
When she walked the streets of Paris
Singing at the top of her voice
"It will be okay, it will be okay, all life long"
God
But how beautiful Marianne was
When she set the heart of Paris on fire
Shouting from the rooftops
"It will be okay, it will be okay, all life long"

God
But how beautiful Marianne was
When she walked the streets of Paris
Singing at the top of her voice
