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.

Bien sûr, il y a les guerres d´Irlande
Et les peuplades sans musique
Bien sûr, tout ce manque de tendre
Et il n´y a plus d´Amérique
Bien sûr, l´argent n´a pas d´odeur
Mais pas d´odeur vous monte au nez
Bien sûr, on marche sur les fleurs
Mais, mais voir un ami pleurer!

Bien sûr, il y a nos défaites
Et puis la mort qui est tout au bout
Nos corps inclinent déjà la tête
Étonnés d´être encore debout
Bien sûr, les femmes infidèles
Et les oiseaux assassinés
Bien sûr, nos cœurs perdent leurs ailes
Mais, mais voir un ami pleurer!

Bien sûr, ces villes épuisées
Par ces enfants de cinquante ans
Notre impuissance à les aider
Et nos amours qui ont mal aux dents
Bien sûr, le temps qui va trop vite
Ces métro remplis de noyés
La vérité qui nous évite
Mais, mais voir un ami pleurer!

Bien sûr, nos miroirs sont intègres
Ni le courage d´être juif
Ni l´élégance d´être nègre
On se croit mèche, on n´est que suif
Et tous ces hommes qui sont nos frères
Tellement qu´on n´est plus étonné
Que, par amour, ils nous lacèrent
Mais, mais voir un ami pleurer!
