Jacques Prévert / Maximilien Luce | Chanson de la Seine, 1945


The River Seine’s song

The Seine is lucky
She has no worries
She takes it easy
By day and by night
And she flows from her spring
Gently, quietly
And without foaming
Without overflowing her banks
She’s leaving for the sea
Passing through Paris.

Jacques Prévert | Kiss Me / Embrasse-moi / Baciami, 1946


Twas in a street of the City of Lights
Where ’is always dark, where there’s no air
And winter like summer, there ’is always winter.

She was on the stairs
Him next to her, her next to him
‘Twas night
