Ballade de Johnny Jane [English translation]

Hey Johnny Jane

Do you remember Gainsbourg's movie I love you ?

"I love you me neither", a nice theme

Hey Johnny Jane

You that drags your shoes and your candid eyes

In the no man's land and sordid places

Hey Johnny Jane

Public dumpsters are the Atlantis

That spanish flies fly over

Hey Johnny Jane

All the dumpster trucks

Come here to pour their infanticid pains

Hey Johnny Jane

You stroll with your short hair and your pale skin

Looking for your suicid love

Hey Johnny Jane

Do you want to slice your memory's throat ?

With kicks into empty tins

Oh Johnny Jane

Another dumpster

Will bring you from bliss to bliss under limpid skies

Hey Johnny Jane

Don't be a kid, don't be so stupid

Look at things straight in the eye, be lucid

Hey Johnny Jane

Erase all that, restart, liquidate

Of your memory these brief torrid moments

Hey Johnny Jane

Another dumpster

Will come to bring you to other Floridas

Hey Johnny Jane

You that drags your shoes and your candid eyes

In the no man's land and sordid places

Crush with a raging fist your damp eye

Time consumes love like acid
