Jumping Jack Flash
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)
I was born in a crossfire hurricane
And I howled at my ma in the driving rain
But it's all right now, in fact it's a gas
But it's all right now, in fact it's a gas
But it's all right
I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash, it's a gas, gas, gas
I was raised by a toothless, bearded hag
I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash, it's a gas, gas, gas
I was raised by a toothless, bearded hag
I was schooled with a strap right across my back
But it's all right now, in fact it's a gas
But it's all right now, in fact it's a gas
But it's all right
I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash, it's a gas, gas, gas
I was drowned, I was washed up and left for dead
I fell down, to my feet and I saw they bled
Yeah, sure and I frowned at the crumbs of a crust of bread, sure
Yeah, I was crowned with a spike right through my head
But it's all right now, in fact it's a gas
I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash, it's a gas, gas, gas
I was drowned, I was washed up and left for dead
I fell down, to my feet and I saw they bled
Yeah, sure and I frowned at the crumbs of a crust of bread, sure
Yeah, I was crowned with a spike right through my head
But it's all right now, in fact it's a gas
But it's all right
I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash, it's a gas, gas, gas
I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash, it's a gas, gas, gas
Jack Bondissant Tel L'éclair
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)
Je suis né dans le feu croisé d'un ouragan
Et je hurlais à ma maman sous la pluie battante
Mais tout va bien maintenant, en fait c'est le pied(1)
Mais tout va bien maintenant
Je suis Jack bondissant tel l'éclair ça gaze gaze gaze
Je fus élevé par une mégère barbue et édentée
Je fus mis à l'école à coups de fouets dans le dos
Mais tout va bien maintenant, en fait c'est le pied
Mais tout va bien maintenant
Je suis Jack bondissant tel l'éclair ça gaze gaze gaze
On m'a noyé, mon corps a dérivé et on m'a laissé pour mort
Je suis tombé par terre et j'ai vu mes pieds saigner
J'ai froncé les sourcils devant les miettes d'un croûton de pain
On m'a couronné, avec une pointe enfoncée à travers ma tête
Mais tout va bien maintenant, en fait c'est le pied
Mais tout va bien maintenant
Je suis Jack bondissant tel l'éclair ça gaze gaze gaze
(1) on pourrait penser à traduire par " c'est un gaz " mais en argot "it's a gas " signifie ça m'amuse beaucoup, c'est le pied
