REFLECTION TASK 2B EDITED VERSION

'Jeanny' is a song recorded by Johan(Hans) Hölzel,who is also known as 'Falco'. Because lyrics of this song based on a true story caused 41 people to commit suicide,this song was forbidden by Pope John Paul II. I was impressed a lot with the story of this song. As for this story,a mafia member falls in love with a woman named Jeanny. She reciprocates his feelings. They love each other madly. However,when they decide to marry,she learns that he is a mafia member. Therefore,she wants him to give up gangsterism and he accepts this. Although he doesn't want to continue gangsterism,other mafia members put pressure on him and they want him to return. He chooses his love,so these mafia members kill Jeanny to avenge and lay it off on him. He is sentenced to life imprisonment. However,what is important for him is only Jeanny's death. One day he writes the lyrics of this song in imprisonment and then he commits suicide.


I like this song because it is touching and it gives people some messages about life. This song shows me that mistakes which we made in the past can come along with us until our death. These mistakes can destroy some nice emotions we experience and harm not only to us but also to people around us. Choices we make and decisions we take have a long lasting impact on our life. Our lives are a series of choices and decisions. Although this song caused some people to commit suicide,I think it can be guiding to learn from people's mistakes.

Şarkının Türkçe Çevirisi

jeanny,gel,gel hadi
kalk ayağa,lütfen
sırılsıklam oluyorsun
geç oldu,hadi
burdan gitmemiz gerek
ormandan çıkmalı
anlamıyor musun?

ayakkabın nerde?
kaybettin,
sana yolu göstermek zorundayken
kim kaybetti?
sen,seni?
ben,beni?
yada
yada biz birbirimizi?

jeanny,hayallerde yaşamayı bırak
jeanny,hayat göründüğü gibi değil
senin gibi küçük bir kız soğuk,soğuk dünyada
sana ihtiyacı olan biri var
jeanny,hayallerde yaşamayı bırak
jeanny,hayat göründüğü gibi değil
gecede kayboldun
çabalamak ve savaşmak istemiyorsun
sana ihtiyacı olan biri var

hava soğuk
burdan gitmeliyiz
gel
rujun silinmiş
onu satın aldın
ve ben gördüm
dudaklarında fazla kırmızı var
ve sen dedin ki: bana asılma
ama iç yüzün ortaya çıkmıştı
gözler sözlerden daha fazla şey söylerler
bana yine de ihtiyacın var,hmmmh?
herkes birlikte olduğumuzu biliyor
bugünden itibaren
şimdi onları duyuyorum!
geliyorlar!
seni almaya geliyorlar!
seni bulamayacaklar!
kimse seni bulamayacak!
sen benimlesin!

jeanny,hayallerde yaşamayı bırak.
