Le Pont Mirabeau
Under the Pont Mirabeau flows on the Seine
And our loves
Has remembrance to be mine
Joy ever followed the pain
Let night come the hour chime its refrain
Days go by I remain
Hands clasped let us stay face to face
While beneath
The bridge of our arms passes
Of waters' constant eye so much weary the pace
Let night come the hour chime its refrain
Days go by I remain
Love goes away the way those waters flow
Love goes away
Life is so slow
And from Hope how violent is the blow
Let night come the hour chime its refrain
Days go by I remain
Days pass and weeks pass on line
Neither the past
Nor loves come back again
Under the Pont Mirabeau flows on the Seine
Let night come the hour chime its refrain
Days go by I remain
Guillaume Apollinaire
