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.

Comme un marin je partirai
Pour aller rire chez les filles
Et si jamais tu en pleurais
Moi j'en aurais l'âme ravie

Comme un novice je partirai
Pour aller prier le bon Dieu
Et si jamais tu en souffrais
Moi je n'en prierais que mieux

Tu n'as commis d'autre péché
Que de distiller chaque jour
L'ennui et la banalité
Quand d'autres distillent l'amour

Et mille jours pour une nuit
Voilà ce que tu m'as donné
Tu as peint notre amour en gris
Terminé notre éternité

Comme un ivrogne je partirai
Pour aller gueuler ma chanson
Et si jamais tu l'entendais
J'en remercierais le démon

Comme un soldat je partirai
Mourir comme meurent les enfants
Et si jamais tu en mourais
J'en voudrais revenir vivant

Et toi tu pries et toi tu pleures
Au long des jours, au long des ans
C'est comme si avec des fleurs
On ressoudait deux continents

L'amour est mort, vive la haine
Et toi matériel déclassé
Va-t-en donc accrocher ta peine
Au musée des amours ratées

Comme un ivrogne je partirai
Pour aller gueuler ma chanson
Et si jamais tu l'entendais
J'en remercierais le démon
