Under Mirabeau Bridge the river slips away
 And lovers
 Must I be reminded
Joy came always after pain

 The night is a clock chiming
 The days go by not I

We're face to face and hand in hand 
 While under the bridges
 Of embrace expire
Eternal tired tidal eyes

 The night is a clock chiming
 The days go by not I

Love elapses like the river
 Love goes by
 Poor life is indolent
And expectation always violent

 The night is a clock chiming
 The days go by not I

The days and equally the weeks elapse 
 The past remains the past
 Love remains lost
Under Mirabeau Bridge the river slips away

 The night is a clock chiming
 The days go by not I
