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
