Ponts de Paris

Paris Bridges, from Bercy to Suresnes
Have you heard about the lovers
They stroll along the banks of the Seine
They make the same gestures and the same vows
Paris Bridges, despite your hearts of stone
You adore these millions of lovers
Who whisper to you for hours on end
Offering all the secrets of their happy days

For two thousand years, the river carries
With its lazy flow to the sea
Words of love, words of love
That will get lost as always

Paris Bridges, impassive confidants
You know well that among these hopes
Very few are fulfilled, many are impossible
You read it in the water, it's your mirror

For two thousand years, the river carries
With its lazy flow to the sea
Words of love, words of love
That will get lost as always

Paris Bridges, from Bercy to Suresnes
I still believe in a boy's love
And we will tell you our joys or our sorrows
A bit like a story or a song
Paris Bridges, no matter if the Seine
Drowns today all our tender vows
Tomorrow we will come back since love leads us
Towards you, Paris bridges, eternally
