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.

Quand Isabelle dort plus rien ne bouge
Quand Isabelle dort au berceau de sa joie
Sais-tu qu'elle vole la coquine
Les oasis du Sahara
Les poissons dorés de la Chine
Et les jardins de l'Alhambra
Quand Isabelle dort plus rien ne bouge
Quand Isabelle dort au berceau de sa joie
Elle vole les rêves et les jeux
D'une rose et d'un bouton d'or
Pour se les poser dans les yeux
Belle Isabelle quand elle dort

Quand Isabelle rit plus rien ne bouge
Quand Isabelle rit au berceau de sa joie
Sais-tu qu'elle vole la cruelle
Le rire des cascades sauvages
Qui remplacent les escarcelles
Des rois qui n'ont pas d'équipages
Quand Isabelle rit plus rien ne bouge
Quand Isabelle rit au berceau de sa joie
Elle vole les fenêtres de l'heure
Qui s'ouvrent sur le paradis
Pour se les poser dans le cœur
Belle Isabelle quand elle rit

Quand Isabelle chante plus rien ne bouge
Quand Isabelle chante au berceau de sa joie
Sais-tu qu'elle vole la dentelle
Tissée au cœur de rossignol
Et les baisers que les ombrelles
Empêchent de prendre leur vol
Quand Isabelle chante plus rien ne bouge
Quand Isabelle chante au berceau de sa joie
Elle vole le velours et la soie
Qu'offre la guitare à l'infante
Pour se les poser dans la voix
Belle Isabelle quand elle chante
