Sous Le Ciel de Paris

Under the Paris sky
A song takes flight
It was born today
In a boy's heart
Under the Paris sky
Lovers stroll along
Their happiness builds
On a tune made for them
Under the Bercy bridge
A philosopher sits
Two musicians, some onlookers
Then thousands of people

Under the Paris sky
They'll sing until night
The anthem of a people
In love with their old city
Near Notre-Dame
Sometimes a drama brews
Yeah, but in Paris
Everything can be fixed
A few rays from the summer sky
The accordion of a boatman
Hope blooms
In the Paris sky

Under the Paris sky
A joyful river flows
It lulls at night
The homeless and the poor
Under the Paris sky
The birds of God
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 she smiles at him
He puts on his blue coat
When it rains in Paris
It's because he's feeling down
When he's too jealous
Of his millions of lovers
He thunders down on them
With his booming roar
But the Paris sky isn't cruel for long
To make up for it, he offers a rainbow
