Language: French (Français)

Dans Londres, la grand ville
il est un être plus seul
qu'un naufragé
dans son île
et qu'un mort dans un linceul
Grand badaud petit rentier
Jeanne voilà
son métier.

Jeanne
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the French (Français)
In London, dieser großen Stadt,
lebt ein Wesen einsamer
als man es nach
Schiffbruch hat,
oder in der Grabeskammer.
Großer Zaungast, kleiner Rentier,
Jeanne, das ist
sein Metier.
