Sous Le Ciel De Paris Lyrics in English Zaz , Pablo Alborán

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Sous Le Ciel De Paris by Zaz from French to English.
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
Beneath the Bercy bridge
A philosopher sits
Two musicians, a few gawkers
Then crowds by the thousands
Under Paris' sky it sings at dawn
Eternal love song of this old city
Near Notre-Dame
A drama sometimes broods
Yeah, but in Paname
Everything can be fixed
A few rays from the summer sky
A boatman's accordion
Hope blossoms
In Paris' sky
Under Paris' sky
Flows a merry river
It lulls at night
The tramps and the beggars
Under Paris' sky
The Good Lord's birds
Come from all over the world
To chatter among themselves
And Paris' sky
Keeps its secret to itself
For twenty centuries it's been in love
With our Île Saint-Louis
When she smiles at him
He puts on his blue suit
When it rains on Paris
It's 'cause he's sad
When he's too jealous
Of his millions of lovers
He lets his thunder roll
His booming thunder
But Paris' sky
Isn't cruel for long
To get forgiven
He offers a rainbow

SONG MEANING

“Sous Le Ciel De Paris” invites you to drift beneath the fabled Parisian sky, following a tune that flutters from French to Spanish just like swallows over the Seine. Zaz and Pablo Alborán paint vivid street-corner vignettes: a dreamy boy birthing a new melody, a philosopher brooding under Bercy Bridge, musicians squeezing life from an accordion, and crowds of lovers parading their happiness. The song is a love letter to the city’s everyday theatre, where even the homeless doze to the lullaby of the river and birds from every land gossip above the rooftops.

Soon the sky itself becomes the main character, wearing moods like costumes. It smiles blue when Paris charms it, sulks with rain when jealousy strikes, then apologises with a radiant rainbow. Along the way you’ll visit Notre-Dame, glide past Île Saint-Louis, and feel how hope can suddenly bloom with a single shaft of summer light. This playful, cinematic stroll through the capital reminds learners that vocabulary and emotion dance together; every cloud, bridge, and bell tower adds colour to the language you’re discovering.
