English lyrics (song begins in French then repeats in English):
My darling why I sing this song
Is easy to explain.
It tells what happens all along
The bridges of the Seine.
The vagabonds go there at night
To sleep all their troubles away,
But when the moon is shining bright
My heart wants to sing it this way.
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

Under The Bridges of Paris
Artist: Ertha Kitt

George's Thoughts: Ertha Kitt makes this work, adding so much romance and sexuality with her vocal treatment. Listen for the delightful spoken part that are incredibly sexy with her breathless French styling. Wonderful song. One of my favorites. Lots of fun to dance to. Also found on "The Ultimate Ballroom Album 4." Vocals in both French and English.
