| To go to Suresnes or to Charenton
|
| All along the Seine we pass under the bridges
|
| During the day, following its course
|
| All of Paris by boat parades
|
| The heart full of enthusiasm, it goes, it comes
|
| But in the evening when everything is sleeping peacefully...
|
| Under the bridges of Paris, when the night descends
|
| All kinds of beggars sneaking around
|
| And are happy to find a berth
|
| Airstream Hotel, where you don't pay much
|
| Perfume and water are for nothing my marquis
|
| Under the bridges of Paris
|
| Leaving the factory, Julot meets Nini
|
| How are you, redhead? |
| It's a party today
|
| Take this bouquet, a few sprigs of lily of the valley
|
| It's little but it's all my fortune
|
| Come with me, I know the place
|
| Where you don't even fear the moonlight
|
| Under the bridges of Paris, when the night descends
|
| Since he doesn't have enough to pay for a bedroom
|
| A happy couple come to love each other secretly
|
| And eye to eye dreaming blue
|
| Julot shares Nini's kisses
|
| Under the bridges of Paris
|
| Consumed by misery, driven from her home
|
| We see a poor mother with her three little ones
|
| On their way, without fire or bread
|
| They will suffer their atrocious fate
|
| Soon the night, the mother says:
|
| “Finally they are going to sleep my kids.”
|
| Under the bridges of Paris, when the night descends
|
| Come to sleep there very close to the Seine
|
| In their sleep they will forget their pain
|
| If we helped a little, all the truly destitute
|
| No more suicides or crimes in the night
|
| Under the bridges of Paris |
