Serge Gainsbourg - Le Ballade De Johnny-Jane - Johnny Jane's ballade

Hey Johnny Jane
Do you remember Gainsbourg's movie
I love you, I love you me neither a nice theme (I know the translation sounds wierd but that's what he says)

Hey Johnny Jane
You that drag your sneakers and your candid eyes
In the no man's land and sordid places

Hey Johnny Jane
The rubbish dump are atlantides (he's using the metaphore)
That cantharides flies fly above (cantharide is a kind of flower)

Hey Johnny Jane
all the trucks
go pour some childish pains

Hey Johnny Jane
You walk your short hair and your livid complexion
In search of your suicidal love

Hey Johnny Jane
Of the memory do you want to cut the carotide (artery)
kicking with your feet the empty cans

Oh Johnny Jane
The nice truck
Will carry you from happiness to happiness under the limpid (clear) skies

Hey Johnny Jane
Don't be childish don't be so stupid
Look at things in the face be lucid (clear)

Hey Johnny Jane
Erase all that, start over, erase
from your memory these short torrid (hot) moments

Hey Johnny Jane
Another truck
Will come to pick you up to bring you (to carry you) towards other floridas

Hey Johnny Jane
You that drag your sneakers and your candid eyes
In the no man's land and sordid places

Hey Johnny Jane
Crush with a furious fist your humid (wet) eye
Time nibbles love like acid
