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.

Derrière la saleté
S'étalant devant nous
Derrière les yeux plissés
Et les visages mous
Au-delà de ces mains
Ouvertes ou fermées
Qui se tendent en vain
Ou qui sont poing levé
Plus loin que les frontières
Qui sont de barbelés
Plus loin que la misère
Il nous faut regarder

Il nous faut regarder
Ce qu'il y a de beau
Le ciel gris ou bleuté
Les filles au bord de l'eau

L'ami qu'on sait fidèle
Le soleil de demain
Le vol d'une hirondelle
Le bateau qui revient

Par-delà le concert
Des sanglots et des pleurs
Et des cris de colère
Des hommes qui ont peur
Par-delà le vacarme
Des rues et des chantiers
Des sirènes d'alarme
Des jurons de charretier
Plus fort que les enfants
Qui racontent les guerres
Et plus fort que les grands
Qui nous les ont fait faire

Il nous faut écouter
L'oiseau au fond des bois
Le murmure de l'été
Le sang qui monte en soi

Les berceuses des mères
Les prières des enfants
Et le bruit de la terre
Qui s'endort doucement
