Le pont Mirabeau [English translation]

Under the Mirabeau bridge flows the Seine

and our love.

Shall I remember

how joy always followed grief?

Come the night, toll the hour,

days go by, still I remain.

Holding hands, let's stay face to face

as under the bridge

of our arms flows

the exhausted stream of everlasting stares.

Come the night, toll the hour,

days go by, still I remain.

Love goes away like this flowing water

Loves goes away

Life is so slow,

and hope so fierce!

Come the night, toll the hour,

days go by, still I remain.

No matter how many days and weeks go by,

neither does past

nor love come back.

Under the Mirabeau bridge flows the Seine.

Come the night, toll the hour,

days go by, still I remain.
