Sous le pont Mirabeau coule la Seine
Language: French (Français)
Sous le pont Mirabeau coule la Seine Et nos amours Faut-il qu'il m'en souvienne La joie venait toujours après la peine. Vienne la nuit sonne l'heure Les jours s'en vont je demeure Les mains dans les mains restons face à face Tandis que sous Le pont de nos bras passe Des éternels regards l'onde si lasse Vienne la nuite sonne l'heure Les jours s'en vont je demeure L'amour s'en va comme cette eau courante L'amour s'en va Comme la vie est lente Et comme l'Espérance est violente Vienne la nuit sonne l'heure Les jours s'en vont je demeure Passent les jours et passent les semaines Ni temps passé Ni les amours reviennent Sous le pont Mirabeau coule la Seine Vienne la nuit sonne l'heure Les jours s'en vont je demeure

Mirabeau híd
Language: Hungarian (Magyar) after the French (Français)
Mirabeau híd: alája bújt a Szajna – És szerelmünk; s az árnya úgy zavar ma: A kéj a ráadás a búra, bajra. Verje minden éjen óra: Itt rekedtem évek óta. Csak álltunk szembenézve kart a karba, S a víz szaladt a font kezünk szalagja Alatt – a bámulókat unva, hagyva. Verje minden éjen óra: Itt rekedtem évek óta. A szerelem ment, mint az ár s a habja; A szerelem ment lusta szárnyra kapva, Mint a Remények durva-lázasabbja. Verje minden éjen óra: Itt rekedtem évek óta. Tűnt az élet sok éve, múlt a napja; Nincs, mi időt, szerelmet újra adna. – Mirabeau híd: alá bebújt a Szajna. Verje minden éjen óra: Itt rekedtem évek óta.
