Jacques Brel on achieving one's dreams [english subtitles]

[coolioto]

Is the translation a bit wrong or is my comprehension flawed?

[internalpeaceseeker]

why do i find english comments

il chantait en francais so what are english doing here?????

[katholickblock]

@internalpeaceseeker l'internet est invente par les Americains, alors pourquoi est-ce qu'il y a des francophones ici?

[internalpeaceseeker]

@katholickblock

t'as pas saisi, en general pour apprecier un artiste il faut comprendre les paroles et le francais de la plupart des anglophones est a chier

[katholickblock]

@internalpeaceseeker mais il y a des sous-titres ici, alors je ne vois pas le probleme. S'il y a des anglophones qui font un effort pour lui comprendre, je trouve ca superbe. Ce n'est pas egoiste de limiter Brel a les francophones?

@internalpeaceseeker so english-speakers who don't understand french can understand it, obviously.

Definitely "words" to "live" by. Jacques was sooooo ahead of his "time." He often seemed preoccupied mentally; perhaps because there are/were very few people with his insight with which he could communicate on a certain "true" level. It is true, I believe, that most people are "surface-level" fucks, only worried about their next starbucks, cell phone, x-game, etc....... Clones. It's very rare for someone to think, and act, outside the constraints of the "sheeple/lemming "mentality?" of society.
