Whenever it’s springtime in Paris,

And many hearts are aflame,
I wander down to the river
And there I whisper her name.
Altho’ I know it is madness
For she may never be free,
I wait for her by the river
Hoping she’ll come back to me.
There we met and there we parted
By the lovely River Seine
Two young lovers, broken hearted
For we knew we loved in vain
And though years may go,
Someday I know she come to Paris again,
And I’ll find her where I lost her,
By the River Seine

塞納河之戀

每逢春到巴黎，

許多人的心裏都燃起了火，

我獨自走到河邊，

低聲呼喚她的芳名，

雖然我明知這有點兒狂，

因為她不會翩然而至，

可是我仍在河畔等著她，

希望她會回到我身邊。

我們在這裏相逢，這裏分手，

在這可愛的塞納河邊。

兩個年青的愛人，傷心，

因為過去的愛戀成空！

雖然時光流轉，有一天，

我們知道她會回到巴黎來，

我們會在分手的地方重逢，

在那可愛的塞納河邊！
