The melody is famous: Libertango by Astor Piazzolla.

Translation
I've seen that face before
Strange, I've seen that face before,
seen him hanging 'round my door,
like a hawk stealing for the prey,
like the night waiting for the day,
Strange, he shadows me back home,
footsteps echo on the stones,
rainy nights, on Hausmann Boulevard,
parisian music, drifting from the bars...
What are you searching for?
To encounter death?
Who do you take yourself to be?
You too detest life…
Dance in bars and restaurants,
home with anyone who wants,
strange he's standing there alone,
staring eyes chill me to the bone.
In his room,
Joelle and her suitcase,
a glance at her things,
on the walls, pictures,
without regret, without melodrama,
the door is slammed,
Joelle is blocked off.

"Joelle est bloquée" n'aurait aucun sens, par contre, qu'elle ait fichu le camp en claquant la porte, ça, oui. Ce n'est pas du français académique.

("elle est barrée" pourrait aussi signifier "elle est dingue", mais pas ici).
