Intro / Sweet Jane - Lou Reedtranslation in French

Intro / Sweet Jane

Standing on the corner

Debout sur le coin de la rue

Suitcase in my hand

Une valise à la main

Jack's in his corset, Jane is in her vest

Jack est dans son corset, Jane est dans son gilet

Me, honey, I'm in a rock 'n' roll band

Moi, mon cœur, je suis dans un groupe de rock 'n' roll

Ridin' in a Stutz Bearcat, Jim

Je roule dans une Stutz Bearcat, Jim

You know those were different times

Tu sais, c'était une autre époque

All, all the poets they studied rules of verse

Tous, tous les poètes étudiaient les règles de la poésie

And those ladies they rolled their eyes

Et ces dames levaient les yeux au ciel

Sweet Jane

Jack, he is a banker

Jack, il est banquier

And Jane, she is a clerk

Et Jane, elle est commis

And both of them save their money

Et tous les deux économisent leur argent

When they come home from work

Quand ils rentrent du travail

Sittin' down by the fire

Assis près du feu

Radio does play, look classical music there, kids

La radio joue, écoute la musique classique, les enfants

"The March Of The Wooden Soldiers"

“La Marche des Soldats de Bois”

You can hear Jack say

Tu peux entendre Jack dire

Sweet Jane

Some people like to go out dancing

Certaines personnes aiment aller danser

And other people like us, we gotta work

Et d'autres comme nous, on doit travailler

And there's even some evil mothers

Et il y a même des mères méchantes

They're gonna tell you that everything is just dirt

Elles vont te dire que tout n'est que poussière

And you know that women never really faint

Et tu sais que les femmes ne s'évanouissent jamais vraiment

And that villains always blink their eyes

Et que les méchants clignent toujours des yeux

That children are the only ones who blush

Que les enfants sont les seuls à rougir

And that life is just to die

Et que la vie n'est que pour mourir

Anyone who ever had a heart

Quiconque a déjà eu un cœur

And wouldn't turn around and break it

Et ne se retournerait pas pour le briser

Anyone who ever played a part

Quiconque a déjà joué un rôle

And wouldn't turn around and hate it

Et ne se retournerait pas pour le haïr

Sweet Jane

Sweet Jane, Sweet Jane

Sweet Jane, oh honey, Sweet Jane

Sweet Jane, oh mon cœur, Sweet Jane

Sweet Jane, oh, Sweet Jane

Sweet Jane, Sweet Jane
