Serge Gainsbourg Serge Gainsbourg

Ballad of Johnny Jane

Hey Johnny Jane
Do you remember the Gainsbourg film I love you
I LOVE YOU ME NEITHER a pretty theme
Hey Johnny Jane
You who drag your sneakers and your innocent eyes
In the no man's land and the sordid places
Hey Johnny Jane
The public dumps are like atlantides
That flies of cantharides fly over
Oh Johnny Jane
All the dump trucks
Come to dump many infanticides sorrows

Hey Johnny Jane
You stroll with your short hair, your livid complexion
In search of your suicidal love
Hey Johnny Jane
Do you want to cut the carotid artery of the memory
With kicks in the empty cans
Oh Johnny Jane
The beautiful dump truck
Will transport you from happiness to happiness under the clear skies

Hey Johnny Jane
Don't act like a child, don't be so stupid
Face the facts, be lucid
Hey Johnny Jane
Erase all that, start over, liquidate
From your memory those brief torrid moments
Oh Johnny Jane
Another dump truck
Will come to take you to other Floridas

Hey Johnny Jane
You who drag your sneakers and your innocent eyes
In the no man's land and the sordid places
Hey Johnny Jane
Crush a furious fist, your moist eye
Time corrodes love like acid
