As I walk along the river 'Seine'
I think I see her on the lane, Marlene
As I reach her hands I won't feel anything but sand
Marlene Je T'aime, Marlene
People of the night are now coming up into sight
singing my pain, Marlene
Strangers in a car believe the love song
is to last ignoring pain

Shadows of the past blowing candle lights
witnessing at night Marlene
Shadows in my heart calling me apart
whispering your name Marlene, Oohhhh

As we drove along the river 'Seine'
we made a vow but vows are vain, Marlene
We promissed that we would meet again
but no one showed back on the lane, Marlene
Now love is a thing that I came by
a ring behind your window pane, Marlene
Souvenirs will haunt me till I die off
with no pain no one's to blame

Shadows of the past blowing candle lights
witnessing at night Marlene
Shadows in my heart calling me apart
whispering your name Marlene, Oohhhh
