La ballade de Jim [English translation]
La ballade de Jim [English translation]
As she left
Jim is mad
Jimmy drinks gin in his Chrysler
The peninsula, the seafront is dumb
As she left, carreful: Jimm goes round in circles
Still yesterday, his heroine
Hold him so tight saying "Jim"
She was his soother, his deep alcohol
As she left, careful: Jimmy has a screw loose.
Jimmy, you're strong, but you cry
On your Chrysler's leather
There, the sun falls apart into the sea
Jimmy, the girls for the heart
Like alcohol and guns
It's jumping
Falling to the ground
Boum!
For two years, sure, Jim was working hard,
For his starlet to tan in an outboard
With her, he wanted a baby, no kidding
As she left, careful: Jimmy wants to die
Jimmy, you're strong, but you cry
On your Chrysler's leather
There, the sun falls apart into the sea
Jimmy, the girls for the heart
Like alcohol and guns
It's jumping
Falling to the ground
Boum!
Jimmy drives to fast, Jimmy whines
He smells her perfume on the cliff road
The zigzags, the gravel, and, in the evening air
The Chrysler flies in the ferns and the water lilies
Jimmy wakes up in the ideal air
The bright paradise of a hospital room
The nurse is an angel and her eyes are green
As she smiles to him, careful: Jimmy wants her to like him
