Jane & John Lyrics in English Pomme

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Jane & John by Pomme from French to English.
Who could one day say if it was a stroke of luck
For Jane and John to cross paths along the way?
Who could speak of love, when it's immense
If it's a caress or the stroke of fate?
I don't know a thing
In Jane and John's eyes
So many fires of joy burned
Do you hear the cold-blooded shots echo?
Loving like nobody and loving nobody in return
That's, for Jane and John
The only idea of love
And of course the story, as usual, ends badly
Madly in love until the last bullet
Jane and John
In the grand mirage that is our lives
Who can know what tomorrow foretells for us?
One wrong turn and the great silence comes
What does a successful life look like?
I don't know a thing
In Jane and John's eyes
So many fires of joy burned
Do you hear the cold-blooded shots echo?
Loving like nobody and loving nobody in return
That's, for Jane and John
The only idea of love
And of course the story, as usual, ends badly
Madly in love until the last bullet
Jane and John
Outro
Who could one day say if it was a stroke of luck
For Jane and John to cross paths along the way?
I don't know a thing

SONG MEANING

Jane & John feels like a modern French ballad with a classic outlaw twist. Pomme invites us to meet two lovers whose paths cross by chance, igniting a passion so fierce it blurs the line between a blessing and a curse. The song asks existential questions—Was their meeting fate or accident? Is great love a gentle caress or a brutal blow?—all while painting vivid images of eyes sparkling with joy and the chilling echo of gunshots. Their creed is simple yet devastating: love each other like no one else, love no one else in return.

Behind the poetic lyrics lies a cautionary tale about how absolute devotion can spiral toward tragedy. Pomme contrasts the dazzling fire of first love with the cold silence that follows a single bad turn. By the time the chorus repeats, we sense the inevitable: stories that burn this brightly often end in ashes. The track becomes a reflection on the fragility of destiny and the fine line between a life well lived and one cut short. Listening to Jane & John is like watching a slow-motion movie of passion, danger, and the haunting question, “Was it worth it?”
