Genius English Translations
Yves Montand - Sous le ciel de Paris (English Translation)
Under the Paris sky
A song takes flight
It was born today
In the heart of a boy
Under the Paris sky
Lovers walk
Their happiness is built
On a tune made for them
Under Bercy bridge
A philosopher sits
Two musicians, some onlookers
Then thousands of people
Under the Paris sky
They'll sing until dusk
The hymn of people in love
With this old city
Near Notre Dame
Sometimes drama broods
But at Paname
Everything comes together
Rays from the summer sky
A sailor's accordion
Hope blooms
In Paris' sky
And the Paris sky
Has a secret of its own
For twenty year's he's been in love
With our Saint Louis island
When she smiles at him
He dresses in blue
When it rains on Paris
It's because he's unhappy
When he grows jealous
Of her millions of lovers
He comes down on us
With his flashing thunder
But the Paris sky
Isn't cruel for long
To ask our forgiveness
He offers up a rainbow
