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 troll your trainers and your candid eyes

In the no man's lands and the sordid places

Hey Johnny Jane

The public wastelands are the Atlantis

The cantharides flies overfly

Hey Johnny Jane

All the tippers

Go there to dump many infanticide pains

Hey Johnny Jane

You walk with your short hair and you livid color

Looking for your suicide love

Hey Johnny Jane

Do you want to slash memory's carotid

Kicking the empty cans

Oh Johnny Jane

Another tipper

Will take you from joy to joy under limpid heavens

Hey Johnny Jane

Don't be a child don't be so stupid

Look at the facts be lucid

Hey Johnny Jane

Erase all that, start over, liquid

From your memory these brief torrid moments

Hey Johnny Jane

Another tipper

Will pick you up to take you to other Floridas

Hey Johnny Jane

You that troll your trainers and your candid eyes

In the no man's lands and the sordid places

Hey Johnny Jane

Smash with a raging fist your humid eye

Time attacks love like acid

• Artist:Serge Gainsbourg
