Sous Le Ciel de Paris
Yves Montand
Under the Paris Sky
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 walk (hum, hum)
Their happiness is built
On a tune made for them
Under the Bercy bridge
A seated philosopher
Two musicians, a few passersby
Then thousands of people
Under the Paris sky
They sing until evening (hum, hum)
The anthem of a people in love
With their old city
Near Notre Dame
Sometimes a drama brews
Yes, but in Paname
Anything can happen
A few rays of summer sky
The accordion of a boatman
Hope blossoms
In the Paris sky
And the Paris sky
Has its secret to itself
For twenty centuries it has been in love
With our Saint Louis Island
When she smiles at him
He puts on his blue coat (hum, hum)
When it rains on Paris
It's because he's unhappy
When he's too jealous
Of his millions of lovers (hum, hum)
He makes his thunder roar
Upon us, resounding
But the Paris sky
Is not cruel for long
To make up for it
He offers a rainbow
