La ballade de Jim(original) |
| Comme elle est partie, Jim a les nerfs |
| Jimmy boit du gin dans sa Chrysler |
| La presqu'île, le boulevard de la mer est con |
| Comme elle est partie, attention: Jimmy tourne en rond |
| Hier soir encore, son héroïne |
| Le serrait si fort en disant «Jim» |
| Elle était son calmant, son alcool profond |
| Comme elle est partie, attention: Jimmy tourne pas rond |
| Jimmy, t’es fort, mais tu pleures |
| Sur le cuir de ta Chrysler |
| Là-bas le soleil s'écroule dans la mer |
| Jimmy, les filles pour le coeur |
| Comme l’alcool et les revolvers |
| C’est sauter en l’air |
| Tomber par terre |
| Boum! |
| Depuis deux ans, sûr, Jim bossait fort |
| Pour que sa starlette bronze en hors-bord |
| Avec elle, il voulait un bébé, sans rire |
| Comme elle est partie, attention: Jimmy veut mourir |
| Jimmy, t’es fort, mais tu pleures |
| Sur le cuir de ta Chrysler |
| Là-bas le soleil s'écroule dans la mer |
| Jimmy, les filles pour le coeur |
| Comme l’alcool et les revolvers |
| C’est sauter en l’air |
| Tomber par terre |
| Boum! |
| Jimmy va trop vite, Jimmy pleurniche |
| Il sent son parfum sur la corniche |
| Les lacets, le gravier, et, dans l’air du soir |
| La Chrysler s’envole dans les fougères et les nénuphars |
| Jimmy s'éveille dans l’air idéal |
| Le paradis clair d’une chambre d’hôpital |
| L’infirmière est un ange et ses yeux sont verts |
| Comme elle lui sourit, attention: Jimmy veut lui plaire |
| (translation) |
| Since she's gone, Jim's on edge |
| Jimmy drinks gin in his Chrysler |
| The peninsula, the boulevard of the sea is stupid |
| As she's gone, watch out: Jimmy spins around |
| Last night again, her heroine |
| Hugged him so tight saying "Jim" |
| She was his tranquilizer, his deep alcohol |
| As she left, be careful: Jimmy is not going round |
| Jimmy, you're strong, but you're crying |
| On the leather of your Chrysler |
| There the sun sinks into the sea |
| Jimmy, girls for the heart |
| Like liquor and guns |
| It's jumping in the air |
| Fall on the ground |
| Boom! |
| For two years, sure, Jim worked hard |
| For her starlet to tan on a speedboat |
| With her he wanted a baby, no kidding |
| As she's gone, watch out: Jimmy wants to die |
| Jimmy, you're strong, but you're crying |
| On the leather of your Chrysler |
| There the sun sinks into the sea |
| Jimmy, girls for the heart |
| Like liquor and guns |
| It's jumping in the air |
| Fall on the ground |
| Boom! |
| Jimmy is going too fast, Jimmy is whining |
| He smells her perfume on the ledge |
| The switchbacks, the gravel, and, in the evening air |
| The Chrysler soars through ferns and water lilies |
| Jimmy wakes up in the ideal air |
| The clear paradise of a hospital room |
| The nurse is an angel and her eyes are green |
| As she smiles at him, watch out: Jimmy wants to please her |
