Under Paris' sky a song takes flight
It was born today in a boy's heart
Paris' sky watches love stroll by
Lovers showing off their happy vibe
Two musicians, a few gawkers
Then crowds by the thousands
Under Paris' sky it sings at dawn
Eternal love song of this old city
A few rays from the summer sky
The tramps and the beggars
Come from all over the world
To chatter among themselves
Keeps its secret to itself
For twenty centuries it's been in love
Of his millions of lovers
