Modern English Translation (AI)

Beneath Mirabeau Bridge the Seine keeps flowing,
carrying with it the memory of our love.
Must I still remember
how every sorrow was followed by joy?

Let night arrive, let the clock strike the hour;
the days drift away, while I remain.

Hand in hand we stood, facing one another,
while beneath
the bridge of our embracing arms
the weary river of endless glances passed.

Let night arrive, let the clock strike the hour;
the days drift away, while I remain.

Love slips away like the running river.
Love slips away.
How slowly life unfolds,
and how fiercely hope refuses to die.

Let night arrive, let the clock strike the hour;
the days drift away, while I remain.

Days pass, and weeks pass as well.
Neither the time that has gone
nor the loves that are lost
will ever return.
Beneath Mirabeau Bridge the Seine keeps flowing.

Let night arrive, let the clock strike the hour;
the days drift away, while I remain.
