Beneath the Paris sky
Beneath the Paris sky
a song takes wing
Taking shape today
in a young boy's heart
Beneath the Paris sky
lovers waft and wander
They shape their happiness
from their own melody
Beneath the bridge at Bercy
a philosopher sits
A couple of musicians, a handful of drifters
and thousands of people throng
Beneath the Paris sky
they will sing till dusk
An ode to this ancient City
by those who love it so
Near Notre-Dame,
a drama plays out
But here in "Paname"
it all works out
The last lingering rays
of the summer sun
The strains
of the sailor's accordion,
hope blossoms
in the Paris sky
Beneath the Paris sky
a joyful river flows
Its lapping slapping sound
rocks the tramps to sleep
Beneath the Paris sky
the Creator's birds
Come together from all over
to gossip together
And the Paris sky
harbours its secret
For a millennium it has loved
our Ile Saint-Louis
When it smiles up,
the sky dresses up in its blue suit
When it rains over Paris,
the sky is crying
Overcome with jealousy
of Paris' millions of lovers
It rains down on them
thunders in style
But the Paris sky
cannot be cruel for long
And in apology
it offers us a rainbow.
