Sous Le Ciel de Paris

Under the Paris sky
A song takes flight
Hum hum
It was born today
In the heart of a boy
Under the Paris sky
Lovers stroll along
Hum hum
Their happiness builds
On a tune made for them

Under the Bercy bridge
A philosopher sits
Two musicians and some onlookers
Then thousands of people
Under the Paris sky
Will sing until night
Hum hum
The anthem of a people
In love with their old city

Near Notre Dame
Sometimes a drama brews
Yeah, but in Paris
Everything can work out
A few rays
Of summer sky
The accordion
Of a riverboat man
Hope blooms
Under the Paris sky

Under the Paris sky
Flows a joyful river
Hum hum
It lulls at night
The homeless and the poor
Under the Paris sky
The birds of God
Hum hum
Come from all over
To chat among themselves

And the Paris sky
Has its secret to keep
For twenty centuries, it's been in love
With our Saint Louis Island
When it smiles at him
He puts on his blue coat
Hum hum
When it rains on Paris
It's because he's feeling down
When he's too jealous
Of his millions of lovers
Hum hum
He thunders down on us
With his booming thunder
But the Paris sky
Isn't cruel for long
Hum hum
To make up for it
He offers a rainbow
