The Waterboys a girl called johnny

Select language to translate this lyric

I remember Johnny, hey
Johnny come lately
I remember her shoes like a ballerina
A girl called Johnny
Who changed her name when she
Discovered her choice was
To change or to be changed
I remember a girl called Johnny
Black as hell, white as a ghost
Dont talk about life and death"
She said, "Ive had enough of both
A girl called Johnny
Who was not scared
They'd have torn her to pieces but
Who would dare?
I remember a girl called Johnny
The train came to town, boy, she got on it
Without looking back, there was barely a word
If she said goodbye, well I never heard
But the noise goes on, the noise, the jazz
Truth is in somebody else's hands
And the house that a girl called Johnny built
Is now just so much ashes and sand
Ashes and sand
Ashes and sand
Ashes and sand
