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.

J'en appelle aux maisons écrasées de lumière
J'en appelle aux amours que chantent les rivières
A l'éclatement bleu des matins de printemps
A la force jolie des filles qui ont vingt ans
A la fraîcheur certaine d'un vieux puits de désert
A l'étoile qu'attend le vieil homme qui se perd
Pour que monte de nous et plus fort qu'un désir
Le désir incroyable de se vouloir construire
En se désirant faible et plutôt qu'orgueilleux
En se désirant lâche plutôt que monstrueux

J'en appelle à ton rire que tu croques au soleil
J'en appelle à ton cri à nul autre pareil
Au silence joyeux qui parle doucement
A ces mots que l'on dit rien qu'en se regardant
A la pesante main de notre amour sincère
A nos vingt ans trouvés à tout ce qu'ils espèrent
Pour que monte de nous et plus fort qu'un désir
Le désir incroyable de se vouloir construire
En préférant plutôt que la gloire inutile
Et le bonheur profond et puis la joie tranquille

J'en appelle aux maisons écrasées de lumière
J'en appelle à ton cri à nul autre pareil
