Under the Paris Sky
Under the Paris sky
A song takes flight
It was born today
In the heart of a boy
Under the Paris sky
Lovers walk
Their happiness is built
On a melody made for them
Under the Bercy Bridge
Sits a philosopher
Two musicians, a few onlookers
Then people by the thousands
Under the Paris sky
Toward evening will be sung
The hymn of a people in love
With their old city
Near Notre-Dame
Sometimes a commotion is brewing
Yes, but in Paname1
Everything can work out
A few beams
From the summer sky
A sailor’s
Accordion
Hope flourishes
In the Paris sky!
Under the Paris sky
Flows a merry river
At night it puts to sleep
The vagrants and the paupers
Under the Paris sky
The Good Lord’s birds
Come from all the world
To chatter among themselves
And the Paris sky
Has a secret of his own
For twenty centuries he’s been in love
With our Île Saint-Louis2
When she smiles at him
He puts on his blue suit
When it rains in Paris
It’s because he’s unhappy
When he’s too jealous
Of her millions of lovers
He growls at us
His rumbling thunder
But the Paris sky
Isn’t cruel for long
To make amends3
He offers a rainbow
