Jeanne Lyrics in English Françoise Hardy
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Jeanne by Françoise Hardy from French to English.
Jeanne met toutes ses billes
Jeanne puts all her marbles
Dans la course au pouvoir
In the race for power
Au succès
To success
Jeanne n'est pas à cours de ressources
Jeanne is not short of resources
Pour séduire qui lui plaît
To seduce whoever he likes
Jeanne connaît bien l'art des retouches
Jeanne knows the art of retouching well
Et l'envers du décor
And behind the scenes
Elle corrige la forme de sa bouche
She corrects the shape of her mouth
Les lignes de son corps
The lines of his body
Petite Jeanne deviendra grande
Little Jeanne will grow up
Quand ses rêves auront changé
When his dreams have changed
Petite Jeanne deviendra forte
Little Jeanne will become strong
Quand ses jouets préfabriqués
When his prefabricated toys
S'ront usés
Will be worn out
Jeanne aimerait dîner au champagne
Jeanne would like to have a champagne dinner
Tous les soirs de l'année
Every night of the year
Éclipser les autres par son charme
Eclipse others with your charm
Son talent, ses idées
His talent, his ideas
Jeanne voudrait avoir à ses pieds
Jeanne would like to have at her feet
Des amants riches et beaux
Rich and beautiful lovers
Au bras de qui elle sourirait
On whose arm she would smile
À la une des journaux
In the headlines
Petite Jeanne deviendra grande
Little Jeanne will grow up
Quand ses rêves auront changé
When his dreams have changed
Petite Jeanne deviendra forte
Little Jeanne will become strong
Quand ses jouets préfabriqués
When his prefabricated toys
Seront cassés
Will be broken
Jeanne voudrait dormir
Jeanne would like to sleep
Dans la soie, le velours, le satin
In silk, velvet, satin
Jeanne en veut, fait tout, croise les doigts
Jeanne wants it, does everything, crosses her fingers
Pour aider le destin
To help fate
Non, Jeanne n'a pas besoin
No, Jeanne does not need
Qu'on lui fasse un dessin
Let's draw him a drawing
