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.

On est deux mon amour 
Et l`amour chante et rit 
Mais à la mort do jour 
Dans les draps de l`ennui 
On se retrouve seul 
 
On est dix à défendre 
Les vivants par des morts 
Mais cloués par leurs cendres 
Au poteau do remords 
On se retrouve seul 
 
On est cent qui dansons 
Au bal des bons copains 
Mais au dernier lampion 
Mais au premier chagrin 
On se retrouve seul 
 
On est mille contre mille 
A se croire les plus forts 
Mais à l`heure imbécile 
Où ça fait deux mille morts 
On se retrouve seul 
 
On est million à rire 
do million qui est en face 
Mais deux millions de rires 
N`empêchent que dans la glace 
On se retrouve seul 
 
On est mille à s`asseoir 
Au sommet de la fortune 
Mais dans la peur de voir 
Tout fondre sous la lune 
On se retrouve seul 
 
On est cent que la gloire 
Invite sans raison 
Mais quand meurt le hasard 
Quand finit la chanson 
On se retrouve seul 
 
On est dix à coucher 
Dans le lit de la puissance 
Mais devant ces armées 
Qui s`enterrent en silence 
On se retrouve seul 
 
On est deux à vieillir 
Contre le temps qui cogne 
Mais lorsqu`on voit venir 
En riant la charogne 
On se retrouve seul.
