Under the Bridges of Paris
Henri René and His Orchestra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

How would you like to be
Down by the Seine with me
Oh, what I'd give for a moment or two
Under the bridges of Paris with you

Darling, I'd hold you tight
Far from the eyes of night
Under the bridges of Paris with you
I'd make your dreams come true

How would you like to be
Down by the Seine with me
Oh, what I'd give for a moment or two
Under the bridges of Paris with you

Darling, I'd hold you tight
Far from the eyes of night




Under the bridges of Paris with you
I'd make your dreams come true

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Henri René and His Orchestra's song "Under The Bridges Of Paris" evoke a sense of romantic nostalgia for a time and place where two people could escape the city's bustle and find refuge under the bridges along the Seine river. The song is sung in a soft, crooning tone by the vocalist, inviting the listener to imagine what it would be like to be in the arms of their lover in this idyllic setting. The mention of being "far from the eyes of night" suggests a sense of secrecy and the desire to be alone, hidden away from the prying eyes of society.


The repetition of the first verse and chorus only reinforces the idea that this is a simple, beautiful fantasy. The language is not particularly complex, but the imagery is vivid, and the melody is hauntingly romantic. The dreams referred to in the final line are likely the desires of the heart, the hopes for a relationship, and a future together. Ultimately, the song is a beautiful tribute to the romantic setting of Paris and the yearning for a perfect moment alone with someone special.
