 | | Jacques Brel - Ne Me Quitte Pas - 195 sec
Such a beautiful song by Jacques Brel (recorded in 1959)
Here is an English translation.
Ne Me Quitte Pas (=If you go away)
If you go away on this summer's day,
Then you might as well take the sun away
All the birds that flew in the summer sky
When our love was new and our hearts were high
When the day was young and the nights were long
And the moon stood still for the night bird's song
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away.
But if you stay, I'll make you a day
Like no day has been, or will be again
We'll sail on the sun, we'll ride on the rain
And talk to the trees and worship the wind
But if you go, I'll understand
Leave me just enough love to fill up my hand
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away.
If you go, as I know you will
You must tell the world to stop turning
Till you return again, if you ever do,
For what good is love without loving you?
Can I tell you now, as you turn to go
I'll be dying slowly till the next hello
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away.
But if you stay, I'll make you a night
Like no night has been, or will be again
I'll sail on your smile, I'll ride on your touch
I'll talk to your eyes that I love so much
But if you go, I won't cry
Though the good is gone from the word goodbye
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away.
If you go away, as I know you must
There is nothing left in this world to trust
Just an empty room, full of empty space
Like the empty look I see on your face
I'd have been the shadow of your shadow
If you might have kept me by your side
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away.

Jacques Brel
« Quand on n'a que l'amour »
Paroles et Musique: Jacques Brel 1956
© Phonogram Paris / Ed. Caravelle
Quand on n'a que l'amour
A s'offrir en partage
Au jour du grand voyage
Qu'est notre grand amour
Quand on n'a que l'amour
Mon amour toi et moi
Pour qu'éclatent de joie
Chaque heure et chaque jour
Quand on n'a que l'amour
Pour vivre nos promesses
Sans nulle autre richesse
Que d'y croire toujours
Quand on n'a que l'amour
Pour meubler de merveilles
Et couvrir de soleil
La laideur des faubourgs
Quand on n'a que l'amour
Pour unique raison
Pour unique chanson
Et unique secours
Quand on n'a que l'amour
Pour habiller matin
Pauvres et malandrins
De manteaux de velours
Quand on n'a que l'amour
A offrir en prière
Pour les maux de la terre
En simple troubadour
Quand on n'a que l'amour
A offrir à ceux-là
Dont l'unique combat
Est de chercher le jour
Quand on n'a que l'amour
Pour tracer un chemin
Et forcer le destin
A chaque carrefour
Quand on n'a que l'amour
Pour parler aux canons
Et rien qu'une chanson
Pour convaincre un tambour
Alors sans avoir rien
Que la force d'aimer
Nous aurons dans nos mains,
Le monde entier

Is he ugly? I am tired of songs that to be accepted must be sung by handsome people. When Jacques Brel sings this song, HE IS handsome, and beautiful, awesome... This song makes me tremble. Although it has a little secret that could spoil all the romanticism. So I keep it for my self... ;-)

| | Jacques Brel- Amsterdam (English Subtitles) - 163 sec
From "T":
"One of Brel's undisputed masterpieces, it was first perfomed at the Olympia in Paris in 1964 and received a three minute standing ovation. It's Brel's vision of freedom , the freedom of sailors to sing, dance, eat, carouse, whore and take pride in virility, the joy spoiled only by unfaithful women (who probably have their own vision of freedom.) In his own words (translated): "Amsterdam is the symbol of the adventure which begins tomorrow which men dream of. It's kind of a song of virility, in truth." You may have heard Mort Shuman, David Bowie, Dave Van Ronk , Robert Cuccioli and countless others sing the English adaptation by Shuman/Blau, but if you haven't seen Brel present it in French, you're missing the real thing. Here it is. Thanks to Ema of Rennes, France for help with this translation."

A dutch version of "Le plat pays" sung by Jacques Brel himself!
A crappy video, but with a translation... sorta atleast.
I know I made a mistake in the beginning, it says "church" instead of "dune". And ofcourse there are various grammatical mistakes etc. etc.

| | Jacques Brel La Valse à Mille Temps (English Subtitles) - 233 sec
From "T":
"An enormous hit for Brel, early in his career, this waltz you can't dance to. Composed in a car beween Tangiers and Casablanca, it's a ... all » parody of the familiar, banal, musetta's waltz, like The Lover's Waltz which he grimaces at for the opening of this video. Brel loved to fly and like a plane on a runway, he takes off in this song . attaining a velocity rappers would envy. To speed up is to cram more life into life, more love, more joy,hence, the thousand times waltz, "333 times (3x 333=1000) as much time for lovers to build a novel." Youth, love, joy, music, dance, springtime, Paris, they're all here in this timeless song which always makes you feel good. It became Carousel in Mort Shuman/ Eric Blau adaptation for the 1968 American musical, Jacques Brel is Alive and Well."
