Below the Pont Mirabeau, slow flows the Seine
And all our loves 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 wave's 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
