Natt over Seine

Paris, May 31, 2026. PSG won the Champions League. The parade came through the streets. Eight hundred thousand people lined the route. Simultaneously, police arrested 780 people across France, most of them in the Paris area. There were fires. There were clashes. The Times of India headline said: Paris Burns As PSG's Champions League Victory Celebration Turns Violent.

The trophy parade and the riots happened at exactly the same time, in exactly the same city.

This is that event, performed as a Scandinavian Nordic folk lullaby.

[Verse 1] Hush now, the city is bright tonight The trophy came home on a river of light The buses were gold and the crowds filled the street Seven hundred and eighty arrested, my sweet

[Chorus] Natt over Seine, natt over Seine The fires burned low and the night fell like rain The cups were raised high and the clashes began Sleep now, my darling, sleep now if you can

[Verse 2] Hundreds of thousands, they lined every road The police made arrests with their usual load The Times of India said Paris it burns But the lullaby carries, it always returns

[Chorus] Natt over Seine, natt over Seine The fires burned low and the night fell like rain Back-to-back champions, the streets ran with smoke Sleep now, my darling, before you awoke

[Outro] Shh shh The trophy is home And Paris is quiet And all is so still
