Under the Mirabeau bridge flows the Seine
And our loves
He has to remind me of that
Joy always came after pain.

Vienna the night strikes the hour
The days go away I remain

Hands in hands let’s stay face to face
While under
The bridge of our arms passes
Eternal gazes the wave so weary

Vienna the night strikes the hour
The days go away I remain

Love goes away like this running water
Love flies away
how slow life is
And how violent Hope is

Vienna the night strikes the hour
The days go away I remain

The days pass and the weeks pass
Nor time spent
Neither loves return
Under the Mirabeau bridge flows the Seine.

English Translation

Under the Mirabeau Bridge there flows the Seine
Must I recall
Our loves recall how then
After each sorrow joy came back again
Let night come on bells end the day
The days go by me still I stay

Hands joined and face to face let’s stay just so
while underneath
The bridge of our arms shall go
Weary of endless looks the river’s flow

Let night come on bells end the day
The days go by me still I stay

All love goes by as water to the sea
All love goes by
How slow life seems to me
How violent the hope of love can be

Let night come on bells end the day
The days go by me still I stay

The days the weeks pass by beyond our ken
Neither time past
Nor love comes back again
Under the Mirabeau Bridge there flows the Seine

Let night come on bells end the day
The days go by me still I stay
