Brel is amazing. This is one of my all time favourite songs. It never ceases to give me chills.

[@seibz]

Jacques Brel is a phenomenon, the best belgian singer and one of the best french-speaking singer ever... He has the voice, the interpretation and the lyrics for him... A real poet. Thanks for reacting to him.

[@CROM-on1bz]

This song is so moving "I would give you pearls of rain from a country where it does not rain, it is said that scorched lands give more wheat than a better April" It's so poetic.

[@tixien]

Hi:-) I think most french speaking people know Jacques Brel, including younger ones. He really is a cultural monument. He was also a pretty good actor. Cheers😉

[@katb.78]

Many German speaking people as well. 😊 He was a great artist.

[@XiaoVeen]

Yes, an excellent actor. But it's a real shame that his film "Le far west" was a commercial and critical failure, it affected him a lot.

[@tixien]

@@XiaoVeen tbh you just have to watch any of his live performances to be convinced… that’s first class acting really.

[@XiaoVeen]

@@tixien I have watched ALL of his live performances 😜 Here I was talking about movies, I said that he was an excellent actor. But in Far West he was also the director. I haven't watched the film but I just know that it had no succes, and Brel stopped doing movies. That's what's a shame.

[@christophedurante6212]

"Don't leave me" ... is a better translation than "don't go away" ... imo

[@XiaoVeen]

I agree because going away could be leaving several people

[@estranhokonsta]

Don't leave me, is a much better translation from the french than 'don't go away'. The translator might choosen the last one, because it goes better with the melody.

[@XiaoVeen]

@@estranhokonsta I'm not sure about that, the translation never matches the melody anyway. The translator can move away from the text, sometimes it's good and sometimes it's clumsy. But the worst, I have seen this, is when the translator is bad at French and doesn't understand the initial text well, then it's a disaster ! 😄

[@laurentpetitdesrues7203]

J'ai 40ans et je connais le répertoire de Jacques Brel... Immense artiste, immense chanteur et acteur... Il était également un homme en or. Merci

[@user-oh6if4or5x]

Fantastic Jacques Brel Amsterdam !

[@ericsicard910]

This absolute classic of the french repertoire has been covered even internationally : from Nina Simone and Ray Charles to Yuri Buenaventura and even Faouzia more recently.

[@eliseprevost2233]

I'm 43 and Jacques Brel is One of a BEST Belgian singer who sings in French. his musical repertoire is immense the diversity of his songs, sad, happy, sometimes a little crazy, he is a timeless singer. there have been thousands of covers of his songs by various artists around the world but the original version is incomparable

[@XiaoVeen]

And his stage performance was unique !

[@bsirta5824]

Un de mes amis a assisté à son dernier concert à l'Olympia en 1966. Il y a eu 16 rappels, et pour le dernier Jacques Brel avait déjà mis son peignoir.... Peut-être le meilleur chanteur francophone masculin du siècle dernier. Pour les femmes, évidemment, c'est Barbara...❤

[@Holmes68]

J'ai appris les paroles de cet chanson en primaires je devais avoir 9 ans et j'adorais mon professeur Mr seiler c'est fou que je me souvienne de lui je pense que ce grâce a cet chanson que ne l'ai pas oublier ❤

[@lesjolissouvenirs7751]

Le Grand Jacques...un poète, chanteur et acteur belge exceptionnel ❤❤....j'ai grandi avec ses chansons, maman l'adorait.

[@jeanleveau7904]

Even though he was Belgian, Brel is one of the best French speaking singers ever with Georges Brassens, Edith Piaf, Leo Ferré, Charles Aznavour, Serge Gainsbourg and many others. You still have so much to discover. Back to your French roots!!!

[@monalisa3852]

French is one of our official languages so no need to say "even though" 😉

[@goxokogoxoki6734]

Thanks for sharing this love for Brel and this song we all have. You should react to his 'Ces Gens-là'... you won't regret it!

[@BlueDusk95]

Jacques Brel was a major inspiration for Leonard Cohen. His songs played everywhere in Montréal bars and on Québec radio in the 50s and 60s, together with Québec singer songwriters like Félix Leclerc, the first poet singer who dared come to the stage with only his guitar in 1934.

[@greymantle6949]

Even though he was from Belgium, Jacques Brel is a monument and most French like Belgian people know his songs, no matter what generation they are from. His voice, especially in live conditions, always give me shivers. Other great songs he sung that you can watch : Amsterdam, Quand on n'a que l'amour, Les Bourgeois or Le Plat Pays (a love song to his country) If I could suggest you other artists, I'd say Georges Brassens is also a moument of French Music (Supplique pour être enterré sur la plage de Sète, Les Copains d'Abord or Le Gorille are three of his most renown songs) and more recently, Orelsan had some amazing songs : I'm not a fan of rap music, but Notes pour trop tard, L'Odeur de l'Essence or Basique are really amazing songs. I love your reactions, you're one of the leaving proof that American people CAN be open to other cultures, and that's refreshing. I hope to see more reactions from you in the future!

[@sammy532]

everybody knows this man and his songs are still sung to this day, he is a monument

[@syllb7234]

nice to see you reacting to this legend..

[@huquui8789]

Love Jacques Brel ! "Amsterdam" by him is good also !

[@XiaoVeen]

In fact it has truly become an international song ! 😌 It was sung, in French or English version, by Nina Simone, Sting, Céline Dion, Ray Charles, David Bowie, Neil Diamond, Frank Sinatra, Cyndi Lauper, Madonna, Barbra Streisand and many others (thank you google 😁)

[@katb.78]

I heard a Russian version the other day. Quite nice actually.

[@cariboo5949]

❤

[@manateia]

He sang many very poetic love song, you should try "Quand on a que l'amour" (When we only have love). Or also "Dans le port d'amsterdam" (In Amsterdam's port)

[@roykliffen9674]

Most will know this as "If you go away" sung by the likes of a Shirley Bassey, Dusty Springfield, Frank Sinatra, Neil Diamond, Tom Jones, and many more. This is the original though.

[@ericsicard910]

Add Nina Simone and Ray Charles to the list

[@Dannyboy.]

And Barbra Streisand and Céline Dion.

[@ericsicard910]

@@Dannyboy. also Yuri Buenaventura and recently Faouzia.

[@pascalsettimelli449]

Merci pour ce moment d’émotion intense ❤❤❤

[@benjamin_barbe]

J'ai 24 ans, je connais Jacques Brel. C'est archi connu.

[@mimzou]

"Don't leave me" would me more accurate

[@Dani-jv5fe]

Charles Aznavour "La Bhoeme".

[@melodielemounier8571]

Bonjour I am happy for your reactions to french artists and music ! you have so far reacted to a lot of old and popular french singers ! Please check out an artist that we hear every where in France nowdays ; she is winning all the prices of best album and music this past year : Zaho de Sagazan and her title : La Symphonie des éclairs (the symphonie of lithning )

[@GuyWets-zy5yt]

One version, and many others, was famous by Nina Simone !

[@crowblank1]

And when Lara sing Brel, it's double pleasure... Isn't it Eric 😉. Sorry, no subtitles for those great lyrics 😑-> kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3uUe6aqba10iM0

[@sharonlabrecque1655]

Barbra Streisand does a great version of this song ❤️

[@positroll7870]

Another famous song by Brel is "Mathilde". As all good French (incl Belgian French) poetry it has lots of double entendre. It can either be understood as him reacting to an somewhat abusive ex girlfriend returning to him. Or as a reference to his cancer returning after initially successful treatment... 🙄 Very French... 🤷‍♂️ I particularly like the modernized reprise by Chimene Badi. kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZPRp4WApZx_rsksi=T0yi6y6HfvCVXbQc Which also shows that the classics don't get forgotten in France. French state owned TV actively works to retain its culture by having promising young artist re-do them on live television.

[@positroll7870]

As another example of that, here is a dozen young(ish) female singers doing Jonny Hallydays 'Gabrielle'. Which is a bit strange as the song is about a young lady, his lover, driving him crazy yet keeping him in (virtual) chains... That's modern feminism, I guess... 🤷‍♂️ kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIamh4J8iaylpa8si=oWAeuyhmAtpgP-hI

[@LetsChillPage]

Bonjour, Interprétation tirée par les cheveux (et je ne parle même pas de celle du cancer qui est absolument délirante et anachronique puisque la chanson date de 1966 et que Brel a appris qu'il était atteint du cancer en 1974), alors que la chanson parle simplement d'un homme qui, fou de désespoir après que sa compagne l'a quitté, renie tous ses serments parce qu'elle revient. Brel sait exactement trouver les mots, le ton et la ferveur (on peut même parler de véritable fièvre) qu'il faut pour décrire et chanter une situation très commune finalement. C'est ce qui différencie l'artiste de l'écrivaillon. San ausun doute, l'un de mes titres préférés de son répertoire dans sa version « live » (sur la chaîne YT de "Cadence Info"). Dommage que le son soit aussi mauvais et qu'il n'y ait pas la traduction parce que c'est sa meilleure interprétation de ce titre. En tout cas, merci pour la suggestion. Bonne fin de weekend.

[@robertchinnery9806]

Sadly he died in 1978. Check out a fantastic English language version by Shirley Bassey. Very haunting! kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHPTnouph6d9gMU - If You Go Away (Ne Me Quitte Pas)

[@tgtan]

The English version was done by Rod McKuen and made into a hit by Glen Campbell. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z2ndZYyhdtCsabcsi=ivuSrfC_UzbjJSZ0

Singer and song from another century! Only for EHPADs, retirement homes, especially for grandparents or even great-grandparents! lol Did you see D, it’s even OLDER than the 80’s! It's even WORSE!

[@valerieh84]

Dear Amber, I am looking forward to you becoming old. You and your mates rattling your old bones to Taylor Swift will be quite the sight.
