Le Pont Mirabeau-Guillaume Apollinaire

Mirabeau Bridge

Past Mirabeau bridge flows the Seine
                       And our love
Must I remember
Joy followed always after pain

           Let night come    sound the hour
           Time draws in     I remain

Hand in hand let us stay face to face
            While past the
Bridge of our embrace
Flows one long looks' weary wave

           Let night come    sound the hour

           Time draws in     I remain

Love creeps by like the flowing tide
          Love slips by

How slow is life and
Expectation how violent

            Let night come    sound the hour

           Time draws in     I remain

Days creep by the weeks creep by

         Neither past

Time nor loves return

Past Mirabeau bridge flows the Seine

           Let night come    sound the hour

           Time draws in     I remain
