The real Jacobi group G J 1 (R), defined as the semi-direct product of the group SL(2, R) with the Heisenberg group H 1 , is embedded in a 4×4 matrix realisation of the group Sp(2, R). The left-invariant one-forms on G J 1 (R) and their dual orthogonal left-invariant vector fields are calculated in the S-coordinates (x, y, θ, p, q, κ), and a left-invariant metric depending of 4 parameters (α, β, γ, δ) is obtained. An invariant metric depending of (α, β) in the variables (x, y, θ) on the Sasaki manifold SL(2, R) is presented. The well known Kähler balanced metric in the variables (x, y, p, q) of the four-dimensional Siegel-Jacobi upper half-is written down as sum of the squares of four invariant one-forms, where X 1 denotes the Siegel upper half-plane. The left-invariant metric in the variables (x, y, p, q, κ) depending on (α, γ, δ) of a five-dimensional manifoldFC −1 : η = z +zw 1 − |w| 2 , and FC : A(w, z) → dη − wdη.
