Sous le ciel de paris
Under the betting sky
S'envole une chanson
Soars a song
Hum hum
Um um
Elle est née d'aujourd'hui
It was born today
Dans le cœur d'un garçon
In a boy's heart
Sous le ciel de paris
Under the betting sky
Marchent des amoureux
Walking lovers
Hum hum
Um um
Leur bonheur se construit
Their happiness is built
Sur un air fait pour eux
On an air made for them
Sous le pont de bercy
Under the Bercy Bridge
Un philosophe assis
A sitting philosopher
Deux musiciens quelques badauds
Two musicians a few onlookers
Puis les gens par milliers
Then people by the thousands
Sous le ciel de paris
Under the betting sky
Jusqu'au soir vont chanter
Until the evening will sing
Hum hum
Um um
L'hymne d'un peuple épris
The anthem of a loving people
De sa vieille cité
From its old city
Près de notre dame
Near our lady
Parfois couve un drame
Sometimes smolders a drama
Oui mais à paname
Yes but paname
Tout peut s'arranger
Everything can be fixed
Quelques rayons
A few rays
Du ciel d'été
From the summer sky
L'accordéon
The accordion
D'un marinier
From a sailor
L'espoir fleurit
Hope blossoms
Au ciel de paris
In the sky of bets
Sous le ciel de paris
Under the betting sky
Coule un fleuve joyeux
Flows a joyful river
Hum hum
Um um
Il endort dans la nuit
He falls asleep in the night
Les clochards et les gueux
Tramps and beggars
Sous le ciel de paris
Under the betting sky
Les oiseaux du bon dieu

Hum hum
Um um
Viennent du monde entier
Come from all over the world
Pour bavarder entre eux
To chat with each other
Et le ciel de paris
And the betting sky
A son secret pour lui
To his secret to him
Depuis vingt siècles il est épris
For twenty centuries he has been in love
De notre ile saint louis
From our island Saint Louis
Quand elle lui sourit
When she smiles at him
Il met son habit bleu

Hum hum
Um um
Quand il pleut sur paris
When it rains on bets
C'est qu'il est malheureux
It's that he's unhappy
Quand il est trop jaloux

De ses millions d'amants

Hum hum
Um um
Il fait gronder sur nous
It makes us scold
Son tonnerr' éclatant
His thundering' bright
Mais le ciel de paris
But the betting sky
N'est pas longtemps cruel
Is not long cruel
Hum hum
Um um
Pour se fair' pardonner
To be fair'
