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.

Il pleut
C'est pas ma faute à moi
Les carreaux de l’usine
Sont toujours mal lavés
Il pleut
Les carreaux de l’usine
Y en beaucoup d'cassés

Les filles qui vont danser
Ne me regardent pas
Car elles s'en vont danser
Avec tous ceux-là
Qui savent leur payer
Pour pouvoir s'amuser
Des fleurs de papier
Ou de l'eau parfumée
Les filles qui vont danser
Ne me regardent pas
Car elles s'en vont danser
Avec tous ceux-là

Il pleut
C'est pas ma faute à moi
Les carreaux de l’usine
Sont toujours mal lavés
Les corridors crasseux
Sont les seuls que je vois
Les escaliers qui montent
Ils sont toujours pour moi
Mais quand je suis
Seul sous les toits
Avec le soleil
Avec les nuages
J'entends la rue pleurer
Je vois les cheminées
De la ville fumer
Doucement dans mon ciel à moi
La lune danse
Pour moi le soir
Elle danse danse
Elle danse danse
Et son haleine
Immense halo, me caresse
Le ciel est pour moi
Je m'y plonge le soir
Et j'y plonge ma peine

Il pleut
Et c'est ma faute à moi
Les carreaux de l’usine
Sont toujours mal lavés
Il pleut
Les carreaux de l’usine
Moi j'irai les casser
