    All the banners stop waving
    And the flags stop flying
    And the silence comes over
    Thousands of soldiers
    Thousands of soldiers

    Who is that girl? Do I know her face?
    Who is that girl?

    Joanni, Joanni wears a golden cross
    And she looks so beautiful in her armour
    Joanni, Joanni blows a kiss to God
    And she never wears a ring on her finger

    All the cannon are firing
    And the swords are clashing
    And the horses are charging
    And the flags are flying
    And the battle is raging
    And the bells, the bells are ringing

    Who is that girl? Do I know her face?
    Who is that girl?

    Joanni, Joanni wears a golden cross
    And she looks so beautiful in her armour
    Joanni, Joanni blows a kiss to God
    And she never wears a ring on her finger
    Joanni, Joanni, Joanni, Joanni blows a kiss to God
    And she just looks beautiful in her armour
    Beautiful in her armour

    Elle parle à Dieu et aux anges dans ses prières
    Venez Sainte Catherine et Sainte Marguerite,
    Elle a besoin de vous deux.
    Ah les voix, les voix du feu,
    Chante avec moi petite soeur,
    J’entends les voix, les voix.

    Saint Joan
