Lyrics and translation Billy Bragg - Jeane (Live San Fransisco 3 June 1985)
Jeane
Jeane
The
low-life
has
lost
its
appeal
Le
côté
sombre
de
la
vie
n'a
plus
aucun
attrait
And
I'm
tired
of
walking
these
streets
Et
je
suis
fatigué
de
parcourir
ces
rues
To
a
room
with
a
cupboard
bare
Vers
une
chambre
avec
un
placard
vide
Jeane
Jeane
I'm
not
sure
what
happiness
means
Je
ne
sais
pas
vraiment
ce
que
signifie
le
bonheur
But
I
look
in
your
eyes
Mais
je
regarde
dans
tes
yeux
And
I
know
that
it
isn't
there
Et
je
sais
que
ce
n'est
pas
là
We
tried,
we
failed
On
a
essayé,
on
a
échoué
We
tried,
and
we
failed
On
a
essayé,
et
on
a
échoué
We
tried,
and
we
failed
On
a
essayé,
et
on
a
échoué
We
tried,
and
we
failed
On
a
essayé,
et
on
a
échoué
We
tried
On
a
essayé
Jeane
Jeane
There's
ice
on
the
sink
where
we
bathe
Il
y
a
de
la
glace
sur
l'évier
où
on
se
baigne
So
how
can
you
call
this
a
home
Alors
comment
peux-tu
appeler
ça
un
foyer
When
you
know
it's
a
grave?
Quand
tu
sais
que
c'est
un
tombeau
?
But
you
still
hold
a
greedy
grace
Mais
tu
gardes
encore
une
grâce
avide
As
you
tidy
the
place
Alors
que
tu
ranges
l'endroit
But
it'll
never
be
clean
Mais
ça
ne
sera
jamais
propre
Jeane
Jeane
We
tried,
we
failed
On
a
essayé,
on
a
échoué
We
tried,
and
we
failed
On
a
essayé,
et
on
a
échoué
We
tried,
and
we
failed
On
a
essayé,
et
on
a
échoué
We
tried,
and
we
failed
On
a
essayé,
et
on
a
échoué
We
tried
On
a
essayé
Oh,
cash
on
the
nail
Oh,
l'argent
comptant
It's
just
a
fairytale
C'est
juste
un
conte
de
fées
Oh,
and
I
don't
believe
in
magic
anymore
Oh,
et
je
ne
crois
plus
à
la
magie
Jeane
Jeane
But
I
think
you
know
Mais
je
pense
que
tu
sais
I
really
think
you
know
Je
pense
vraiment
que
tu
sais
Oh,
I
think
you
know
the
truth
Oh,
je
pense
que
tu
connais
la
vérité
Jeane,
oh
Jeane,
oh
No
heavenly
choir
Pas
de
chœur
céleste
Not
for
me
and
not
for
you
Ni
pour
moi
ni
pour
toi
Because
I
think
that
you
know
Parce
que
je
pense
que
tu
sais
I
really
think
you
know
Je
pense
vraiment
que
tu
sais
I
think
you
know
the
truth
Je
pense
que
tu
connais
la
vérité
Oh,
Jeane
Oh,
Jeane
That
we
tried,
and
we
failed
Que
l'on
a
essayé,
et
on
a
échoué
That
we
tried,
and
we
failed
Que
l'on
a
essayé,
et
on
a
échoué
We
tried,
and
we
failed
On
a
essayé,
et
on
a
échoué
We
tried,
and
we
failed
On
a
essayé,
et
on
a
échoué
Oh,
oh,
Jeane
Oh,
oh,
Jeane
