Jane Birkin "Je m'appelle Jane" - in English

This song is a collaboration between Jane Birkin and Mickey 3D. I rather like this song, not least because of the provocative lyrics which Jane Birkin gracefully accepted.

The following is my translation into English:

Tell me Birkin, what's this old accent that you drag around that makes you seem unpleasant?
It's the British accent
Tell me Birkin, why are you going to walk in the mud even though it'll make your boots dirty?
It's because I'm just a kid
Tell me Birkin, why do you "sea, sex and sun" as soon as the month of August comes around?
It's because I'm cuddly
Tell me Birkin, what's that dirty old pair of jeans you've lugged around since 1969?
It's because I'm a cheapskate

My name is Jane so fuck you

You, your name is not Tarzan

Your name is Mickey, fuck you

Me, I am not Minnie

Tell me Birkin, why haven't you grown fat as you've grown older, you're still as beautiful as before?
It's because I'm clever
Tell me Birkin, why do you always make yourself cry as soon as someone is in danger?
It's because I'm sensitive
Tell me Birkin, why do you never get worked up, they say that you run away from anger?
It's because I'm fragile
Tell me Birkin, what's these eyes which look into space, they say you have your head in the clouds?
It's because I'm bored

My name is Jane so fuck you
You, your name is not Tarzan
Your name is Mickey, fuck you
Me, I am not Minnie

My name is Jane so fuck you
You, your name is not Tarzan
Your name is Mickey, fuck you
Me, I am not Minnie

Postscript

A friend of mine met Jane Birkin at La Gare du Nord and spent 20 minutes talking to her. Jane Birkin came across as a sincere, humble, down-to-earth, genuinely nice person. That she was happy to record this somewhat self-deprecating song by Mickey 3D is a testiment to her character.
