The Mirabeau Bridge
Tranlated by Jared T. Fischer
The Seine streams with our love
Under the Mirabeau bridge
Must it remind me
How joy always followed pain
Come night sound each hour
Days depart I remain
Face to face hold hands with me
While under the bridge
Our arms raise the slow wave
Of lasting gazes flows away
Come night sound each hour
Days depart I remain
Love goes somewhere like a river
Love picks up and leaves
The violence of hope
And life’s slow speed
Come night sound each hour
Days depart I remain
The days and weeks pass
Neither the past
Nor love resurfaces
Under the bridge runs the river
Come night sound each hour
Days depart I remain
