Below the Pont Mirabeau

Slow flows the Seine

And all our love's together

Must I recall again

Joy would always follow

After pain



Hands holding hands

Let us stand face to face

While underneath the bridge

Of our arms entwined slow race

Eternal gazes flowing

At waves pace



Let night fall, let the hours go by

The days pass on and here stand I



Love runs away

Like running water flows

Love flows away

But oh, how slow life goes

How violent is hope

Love only knows



Let night fall, let the hours go by

The days pass on and here stand I



The days flow ever on

The weeks pass by in vain

Time never will return

Nor our loves burn again

Below the Pont Mirabeau

Slow flows the Seine



Let night fall, let the hours go by

The days pass on and here stand I
