Jacques Brel

Jacques Brel (French pronunciation: ​[ʒak bʁɛl]; 8 April 1929 – 9 October 1978) was a Belgian singer-songwriter who composed and performed literate, thoughtful, and theatrical songs that generated a large, devoted following in France initially, and later throughout the world. He was widely considered a master of the modern chanson. Although he recorded most of his songs in French, he became a major influence on English-speaking songwriters and performers such as David Bowie, Leonard Cohen, Marc Almond and Rod McKuen. English translations of his songs were recorded by many top performers in the United States, including Ray Charles, Judy Collins, John Denver, the Kingston Trio, Nina Simone, Frank Sinatra, Scott Walker, and Andy Williams.

La vie m'a doublé
C'est pas régulier
Pour un pauvre lézard
Qui vit par hasard
Dans la société
Mais la société
Faut pas s'en mêler
J'suis un type à part
Une graine d'ananar

On m'dit que j'ai poussé
En dessous d'un gibet
Où mon grand-papa
Balançait déjà
Avec un collier
Un collier tressé
De chanvre il était
Un foutu foulard
A gueule d'ananar

J'avais des copains
Qui mangeaient mon pain
Car le pain c'est fait
Pour être partagé
Dans notre société
C'est pas moi qui l'dis
Mais c'est Jésus-Christ
Un foutu bavard
A gueule d'ananar

Si j'avais des sous
On m'demanderait "Où
Les as-tu gagnés
Sans avoir trimé
Pour la société?"
Mais comme j'en ai pas
Faut lui dire pourquoi
C'est jamais peinard
La graine d'ananar

On m'dit qu'c'est fini
J'vous l'dit comme on l'dit
Et qu'on me pendra
Au nom de la loi
Et d'la société
D'la belle société
Qui s'met à s'mêler
De mettre au rancart
La graine d'ananar

Potence d'oubli
L'oiseau fait son nid
Messieurs les corbeaux
Passeront ma peau
Comme à l'étamis
Mais auparavant
J'aurai comme le vent
Semé quelque part
Ma graine d'ananar
