by Guillaume Apollinaire （Translated by Donald Revell）
     Under Mirabeau Bridge the river slips away
     And lovers
     Must I be reminded
     Joy came always after pain
     The night is a clock chiming
     The days go by not I
     We're face to face and hand in hand
     While under the bridges
     Of embrace expire
     Eternal tired tidal eyes
     The night is a clock chiming
     The days go by not I
     Love elapses like the river
     Love goes by
     Poor life is indolent
     And expectation always violent
     The night is a clock chiming
     The days go by not I
     The days and equally the weeks elapse
     The past remains the past
     Love remains lost
     Under Mirabeau Bridge the river slips away
     The night is a clock chiming
     The days go by not I
