Le Moribond, = Who is close to dying.= "the dying man" , tells the story of a man who, on his deathbed, says his last goodbyes in a certain way it's a testament in a song.. "c'était un GÉNIE" il était GÉNIAL most commun expressions for saying is was awsome

this song has been covered in English. "Seasons in the sun". Un moribond is someone close to be dead.

This song was sung by Terry Jacks in English with different lyrics and a different vibe in the 70's. You surprised me here with your french. BRAVO!!!

One of the best songwriters of the 20th century. He also played in a couple of movies and it's well worth to watch. I'll try to find videos with english subtitles. Moribond = at the brink of death.

I love watching you react to Jacques Brel's songs. However there's a problem with the chorus subtitles : J'veux qu'on rie, -> I want people (you) to laugh, j'veux qu'on danse, -> I want people (you) to dance, j'veux qu'on s'amuse comme des fous. -> I want people ( you) to have fun like crazy. J'veux qu'on rie, -> I want people (you) to laugh, j'veux qu'on danse. -> I want people (you) to dance, Quand c'est qu'on me mettra dans le trou. -> When they'll put me in the hole.

These songs are still today, like Edith Piaf, classics of French song. He was Belgian but it was in France that he became known and that he made his career like Stromae and many other French-speaking singers.

Napoleon at twenty years old, without that we would never have known the emperor.

He didn't die in Polynesia, but in a hospital just outside of Paris. He then was buried in Polynesia.

Your take on Brel is spot on and your French is very good, my man. Imagine he wrote and performed these songs in the 50s and 60s where people were, well, waaaayyyy more conservative than today. Talk about wokeness. He invented or at least practiced it.

The subs are messed up. Where it says "How we dance", "How we laugh" and "How wild we are" he actually sings "I want you to dance", "I want you to laugh" and "I want you to party like crazy"..."when they put me in the hole".

@LetsChillPage 3 ай бұрын

@@musashimiyamoto586 Vous avez raison. Pour « Quand c'est », j'entendais « Quand j'sais ». Je pensais, en effet, que « quand c'est » était un abus de langage, puisque l'on devrait dire plus simplement « quand on(… ) ». Mais, apparemment, Brel a utilisé celui-ci à escient pour souligner le côté rural du personnage qui s'exprime (et peut-être aussi pour le nombre de pieds dans ce couplet). Pour le reste, « on » est un pronom indéfini dans cette chanson. Il peut indifféremment être remplacé par « one », « we » ou « they » en anglais. Finalement, « one » serait probablement le plus pertinent dans une traduction de cette chanson.

No there is nothing happy in "moribond", it just means someone who is close to dying.

@linareddingthon Күн бұрын

you were close to the meaning of the word moribond (ready to die or close to be dying from, for example, a sickness)

Moribund = dying man, death-bound you could also say

@micade2518 Ай бұрын

The translation is not good. In the chorus, he says: "I want laughter and dances when (it is that) they'll put me in the hole." And to his wife, there's a pun: "fermer les yeux" in French also means "to turn a blind eye", which is the meaning of the phrase.

@unknown772 3 ай бұрын

Le moribond=the dying

@fruzsimih7214 8 күн бұрын

The translation is completely garbled, especially at the chorus and also at the crucial line at the end where he sings: 'car je les ai fermé souvent' (because I closed them often) - meaning his eyes when faced with his wife's infidelity. The chorus says: Je veux qu'on rit, je veux qu'on dance, je veux qu'on s'amuse comme des fous, je veux qu'on rit, je veux qu'on dance quand on me met dans le trou', meaning: 'I want people to laugh, I want them to dance, I want them to amuse themselves like crazy, I want them to laugh, I want them to dance when they put me into the hole'.
