Beneath the sky of Paris

Beneath the sky of Paris a song flutters away
It was born today inside the heart of a youth
Beneath the sky of Paris the lovers wander
Their happiness is built upon a tune made for them
 
Beneath the bridge of Bercy, a sat philosopher
Two musicians, some onlookers, then the people throng
Beneath the sky of Paris they will sing until the evening
The anthem of a people infatuated with their ancient city
 
Close to Notre Dame
Sometimes a drama simmers
Yes, but in Paname
Everything can be arranged
Some rays from the summer sky
The accordion of a sailor
Hope blossoms in the sky of Paris
 
Beneath the sky of Paris a joyous river flows
It lulls in the night the tramps and the beggars
Beneath the sky of Paris the birds of the Lord
Come from the whole world to prattle among themselves
 
And the sky if Paris has its own secret
After twenty centuries, it is enamoured with our island of Saint Louis
When she smiles at him, it puts on its blue suit
When it rains over Paris its because he is discontented
When it’s utterly jealous of its millions of lovers
It unleashes its roaring thunder over us
But the sky of Paris it’s not cruel since a long time
To make itself forgiven, it offers us a rainbow
