Bush, Kate - Joanni Lyrics






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

Bush, Kate Joanni Comments
  1. E.... H....

    I blow a kiss to Kate.......and God.

  2. K.... T....

    kate.... pure white witchcraft

  3. P.... ....

    Please check my channel for a magical tour of over 60 of Kate Bush's songs, including Joanni. The playlist's meant to create a mood/tell a story rather than being a list of most famous songs, although certainly some of those are there.

  4. F.... J....

    I commented on this eight years ago, under another ID. I would still storm a rampart with her.

    F.... J....

    Kate is magical, isn't she?

  5. J.... W....

    The Before the Dawn Live Version is always heavenly...wig!!

  6. s.... ....

    Fantastic song but the live version sung on Before The Dawn takes it into another dimension. Stunning.

  7. T.... ....

    Partie des paroles en française:
    «Elle parle à Dieu et aux anges
    Dans ses prières

    Venez Sainte Marguerite
    Venez Sainte Catherine
    Elle a besoin de vous deux.
    Les voix, les voix du feu
    Chante avec moi petite soeur,
    Les voix, les voix, les voix»

    traduction en EN, la langue des «Godams» comme Jehanne less appelaient:
    "She speaks to God and to the angels
    In her prayers

    Come Saint Marguerite
    Come Saint Katherine
    She has need of you both.
    The voices, the voices of fire
    Sing with me little sister,
    The voices, the voices, the voices"

    Jehanne called the english invaders «Les Godams» because of the oath they most commonly gave whilst fighting in battle: "God Damn". it seems all these centuries later, from mediaeval times right through to the post modern era nothing much has changed, in that regard anyways.

  8. b.... b....

    spirit even

  9. b.... b....

    she captures the sirit of the times...

  10. N.... G....

    From the comments, I feel like people are hearing a different song then me. Yeah its beautiful, but the music that plays during the hook is...kinda fucking hilarious. It’s such a strong juxtaposition to have a song about Joan of Arc include a porno funk groove thing on the hook.

    N.... G....

    It IS Kate Bush - what did you expect?!? dj

  11. b.... b....

    Word interefere should have been helped.

  12. b.... b....

    Joan of arc , the last time god interefered in mans works

  13. P.... ....

    I regard Joanni as a kind of spiritual sequel to Lily. Thank you infinitely for your unimitable style and riches. - + ) Kate Bush. ( + - A painter and a novellist of sound and lyrics, a renaissance girl/woman. Even when everyone first adored her late teen beauty , they fell just as much in love with her worldbuilding music that was elemental, the fruits of a Kentish girl. Eat the Music. It says a lot about her greatness that people are often so hooked on a tune, vocal, or a pianoline, bassline or a video or an album or song concept and its production / musical touches that how great the lyrics themselves can be underestimated, as can some brilliantly employed guitarwork and some of the less mainstreamly celebrated magical line delivery from Kate Bush. Oh ma di padme. You WARch the CLAWrk move the SLow hand.

  14. a.... ....

    this is my anthem

  15. J.... D....

    3:55 Marge Simpson.

  16. w.... ....

    Love this song.

  17. T.... ....

    I bet Elliot Rodger had this in his earphones while he went on the rampage.
    Who is that girl? Do I know her face? (BLAM!!)
    Shit, she has no face. Oh well, onto the next...

    T.... ....

    oh she's got a face she just never had revealed it before😇

  18. I.... W....

    Who is that girl? Do you know her face? Who is that girl?💖🙇💖 Wears
    a Golden Cross she looks so beautiful in her armor for God.. and she never wears a ring around her finger 😊 quote....✍ it doesn't matter what nationality I am now I'm back around sincerely yours Joan of Arc ..🕀

  19. F.... J....

    I see I commented on this three years ago, under another ID.  My love for this woman's music just grows and grows.  You don't have to 'understand' the subtleties to enjoy it, but as time goes by it just unfolds like a flower.  And yet I know people who are just left cold by it. Well, it would be a funny old world if we were all the same ....  

    F.... J....

    Hello, me of three years ago.  I am three years on from you.  there is good stuff to come, there are terrible things to come.  It's best if we don't know these things.  Try to treat yourself better.  The result is the same, in any case.

    F.... J....

    Yeah. *sighs*

    F.... J....

    @Flo Jo Cheers Flo Jo (of whichever era you prefer . . .). A pathetic place indeed were there no variety. Speaking solely of/for myself I would absolutely throw up should there be, so to speak, another me, same opinions, same tastes, motivations, etc . . . That said, there is something to be said for how we as individuals share in the inspiration that a beautiful and moving song such as "Joanni", erm, inspires in us. We will all aspire to that particular journey however brief or long that it nudges us along to, but how lovely that it possesses the power to do so. Cheers!

  20. C.... ....

    This sounds like it's about Joan of Arc to me...

    C.... ....

    Most definitely about Joan of Arc she's the girl that wore the armor for God she blew a kiss to God

    C.... ....

    it is about Joan of ark...... trust me....... listen to your own tuition....... don't others tell you...... you know...... you can hear it......... listen........

    C.... ....

    Sorry I was tired that day I meant to say.... It is about Joan of arc.... Listen to your own intuition.... You can hear it for yourself... You don't need anyone to tell you... You guessed it right..

    C.... ....

    Dana garza you are correct 🕀🕀🕀 Joan of Arc

    C.... ....

    Cloudbushting But of course it is. Pretty obvious I'd say.

  21. S.... H....

    OMG SHE JUST ANNOUNCED LIVE SHOWS IN LONDON THIS YEAR. I went to this song first, though I might as well have gone to any song from here. Obviously I'll be listening to her all day. I can't afford the show unfortunately.

    S.... H....

    She played this song at the show.  There will be a DVD. No worries

    S.... H....

    @Scott Harrison Oh, I wish I could have gone. As soon as the DVD comes out, I'm rushing to get one

  22. C.... ....

    Kate is a true Goddess of music. She has inspired thousands of musicians.

  23. d.... b....

    This was the track that drew me into the album. I didn't like it at first...but on repeated listens it's genius reveals itsef.

  24. d.... ....

  29. C.... E....

    3:55 Yoda humming

  30. T.... ....

    I would follow Kate against any rampart.

  31. e.... ....

    The first 30 seconds is genius...nice intro to the song..

  32. F.... W....

    My sister's name is Joan and her only claim to fame is to have a close affiliation to this fearless woman of World renown, who was sent from God to do what she had to do. A bit like you know who.

  33. i.... ....

    this song is soo haunting. beautiful <3

  34. J.... w....
