Songs
Georges Brassens in the song Le Vent (The Wind) from the album Les Amoureux des bancs publics (Lovers on Public Benches) published in 1954 evokes the strong wind which blows across the bridge :
- Si, par hasard, (If by accident,)
- Sur l'pont des Arts, (On the Pont des Arts,)
- Tu croises le vent, le vent fripon, (You meet the wind, the mischievous wind,)
- Prudence, prends garde à ton jupon ! (Prudence, guard your petticoat !)
- Si, par hasard (If by accident,)
- Sur l'pont des Arts (On the Pont des Arts,)
- Tu croises le vent, le vent maraud (You meet the wind, the marauding wind,)
- Prudent, prends garde à ton chapeau ! (Prudent, guard your hat !)
St. Germain (musician) released a song called 'Pont Des Arts' in 2002

Famous quotes containing the word songs:
“The militancy of men, through all the centuries, has drenched the world with blood, and for these deeds of horror and destruction men have been rewarded with monuments, with great songs and epics. The militancy of women has harmed no human life save the lives of those who fought the battle of righteousness. Time alone will reveal what reward will be allotted to women.”
—Emmeline Pankhurst (1858–1928)
“On a cloud I saw a child,
And he laughing said to me,
“Pipe a song about a Lamb”;
So I piped with merry chear.
“Piper pipe that song again”—
So I piped, he wept to hear.
“Drop thy pipe thy happy pipe
Sing thy songs of happy chear”;
So I sung the same again
While he wept with joy to hear.”
—William Blake (1757–1827)
“In her days every man shall eat in safety
Under his own vine what he plants, and sing
The merry songs of peace to all his neighbors.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
