[Tengent]

Gotta love that out of tune accordion!

[18DreamDiva]

I still have the original 45 vinyle single of si tu dois partir...lucky me!..:-)

[folkmusicgirl]

@18DreamDiva

Me too! I have the original 45 and when I used to have a jukebox I played it all the time. The jukebox - now gone with several moves over the years and too hard to move it to apts. but still do have the 45 - although don't play it like I did when it was in the jukebox.

[POPAVIDEO]

il existe un rare "FRENCH " single avec photo en BIEM . great !

[melodiantime]

PURE GLEE MOOD WITH THIS SONG

[herbrampe]

Never knew what the words ment but loved this song back in the 70s

[qjxbljsc6]

by far the best version

[TheRunner75]

@qjxbljsc6 I don't know if it is the best one, but surely the most original and surprising one. I can qualify it: "Nicely out of tune. I published a list of the very best Bob Dylan covers on RateYourMusic in which you can find 4 covers by Fairport Convention including this one.

[Bruchag]

.....and the boss smashes a bottle over ma heid......she loves this so much :-))

[Blake788]

search nicolas and the iceni summers end. they write beautiful folk which has echoes of denny and drake.

[Villerembert]

One of the best songs ever written or sung! 

[anc1965]

Lets hope there is a Tagalog, Albanian, Bulgarian, Thai or Hindi version of this around somewhere....lol

[johnbarry1965]

a bottle smashes in the instrumental section!!!!

[TheBlindPig1]

nothing just my little fun. i saw the jews dancing me in.

[TheBlindPig1]

catch an angle in mid flight.

[ben77114gaut]

très bonne chanson, c'est vrai j'ai tout compris, bon je ne reste pas...

[909chuck]

Song from left field that helped me fall in love with this band. How clever!

[JamieeTheGreat]

I heard this on radio 2 and as soon as the title was announced my dad and I both rushed to play it!

[madz4evar786]

@JamieeTheGreat Haha

[The170460]

this version was covered by french band BIJOU in the seventies. A rock version

[madz4evar786]

@The170460 Ikr sounds awesome

[thatmuse76]

Anybody have the footage of them performing this on "Top of the Pops" in 1969 or has that one been wiped ages ago?

[MrByrdbath]

@thatmuse76.....wow...that's the version i was just trying to search out. No luck I see.

[clowninamicrowave]

Have always liked this, especially the bit at 1:56 where they drop the cutlery.

[ubnteb]

takes ya back doesn it...we were all yung once

[maureen12009]

I love the accent.. Sandy we miss you..

[bhoyardee]

Great song, great album (Unhalfbricking) GREAT band!

[patou341]

great song,thanks

[robertlaberge]

Being French-Canadian, I can attest that Sandy and the boys sing in comprehensible French.

The lyrics are the correct translation of the original version.

Et si tu dois partir, va t'en, (bis)

sinon tu dois rester la nuit.

[rocking1960ray]

Strange version but I really like it, always have done.

[krock90]

Great version of this Bob Dylan song,

(If you gotta go go now)
