  • Já quês brel

  • She loved to live and tried to give it all away

    every day she sang you know she brang the bruise

    of having to fight so not to lose it all over again!!

  • C'est vrai qu'elle a un accent à couper au couteau et qu'elle a peine à se concentrer sur la langue pour pouvoir faire autre chose mais elle n'a, à mon sens, rien à prouver. ^^

  • Brilliant execution. I did not know this musical pearl.

  • bravo

  • @Maxlinder11 ABSOLUTELY D'ACCORD WITH gwioska BRILLIANT!

  • poor Legend , lost her sense of stage . With years of pain and anger and and she sing and With her eyes vibrant With memories , artist , human being captivated me with her presence on the stage, and no artist could do same , as Nina did No lights, no dancers, no firecrackers, no theater, the true artist needs a real spirit and Microphone my money is on adele

    love from saudia arabia

     " if you wanna be dead and A living person try to lose you're feeling " nina simone

  • @LiVeBiGFaN

    that quote at the end of your comment, where is that from?

  • Heat wrenchingly beautiful.

  • I love Nina Simone, however no one can beat Jacques Brel on this one!

  • as duas mehores interpretaçoes dessa musica é de maysa e jaques brel o resto é resto

  • AMAZING ARTIST!

  • I think Jacques Brel is the only singer that can put the sentiment in the song to correspond with the lyrics. And he has a nice voice.

  • Rest in peace Eunice Kathleen Waymon (aka Nina Simone) (1933 - 2003 ) <3

    we love you !

  • This hurts the french-speaker's ears....

  • @selm3285 thats ok. its sounds authentic to many of us that dont speak french, and just like the music and sentiment. if you go away my heart will break......hope its not too painful for you! maybe concentrate on the exquisite musicianship! :)

  • Je n'aime pas du tout cette version (l'accent peut-être), mais elle a le mérite d'exister.

  • Emocionante.Lindo!!!

  • GREAT, GREAT, GREAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Não sentir a emoção que esta música e letra transmite!

  • Maysa version is better!!!

  • greater than the greatest

  • incroyable reprise du grand BREL ca me fait carrement des frissons tellement c'est bon! je vous conseille aussi la version de YURI BUENAVENTURA qui est incroyable aussi!

    peace

  • i miss you so much eunice

  • we used to have a soul

  • Great song, great interpreter, but that pronunciation...OMG!

  • Génial !! je suis Français de souche , et ce joli accent du sud me fait tellement chaud au coeur !!! mais je suis très dur sur ceux qui ne respecte pas mon pays ..

  • @fentreti sale batard de pedigree jacques brel etait belge pas français sale connard de rasciste .

  • @fentreti

    Génial!! moi je suis dogue allemand croisé epagneul...et quand ca me gratte les oreilles j'ecoute nina simone ca me detend!!! mais je suis tres dur sur (?) ceux( ?) qui veulent manger dans ma gamelle

  • Magnifique !

  • Dreadful. Her French is poor, and her version doesn't come even close to Brel's original.

  • Hermosa :)8

  • i do NOT LIKE THIS VERSION...BAD!BAD! BAD!...THE BEST ONES: BARBRA STRAISAND AND EDITH PIAF

  • i do NOT LIKE THIS VERSION...BAD!BAD! BAD!

  • she's a very good artist. But this, man... This is very bad.... :((((

  • She had the saddest eyes. I wish I knew what made her so sad.

  • @guitarlawyer75 the saddness in her eyes could have possibly been from the mass genocide of a human race for centuries that she sang for her whole entire carrer

    God Bless the Greats , we need you now to save us from the chaos going on right now

  • @katygaga710 Not to mention that she was a hard-working, successful musician -- they tend to have sad, lonely lives.

  • @katygaga710 I myself perceive the sadness, and it seems she sees the publc as some she can't rely count on or trust. I'm from tandil, buenos aires, andI discovered this wonderful song recently, interpreted by jaqes brel, then, i found nina too. always crying while listening her. she's a very special person. please write me back to chat about her and jaq. my email: julianmundetandil@hotmail.com and my faceboo: Julian Municoy Hunt

  • @katygaga710 Yes, I think you are right she’s been around before. She... is reincarnation 

  • por dios que artista !! que gran interprete!! no puedo parar de llorar , me emosiono hasta lo mas profundo del alma!!

  • Un massacre

  • jajaja it reminds me the cirque du soleil's show varekai :P

  • Bravo! it's brilliant! the song means Don't leave me..in french, this song is better known in English as Don't go Away Frank Sinatra and others sang the English version.Youngsters won't understand... For adults only. Nina Simone...sigh. She died in France it's where she lived.

  • @awomanwonderful Hmmph... Hello, i'm a youngster. Peace :)

  • sorry, but i don't like ! she has a beautiful voice but she should have sung this song in English as her french is no good and we don't understand what she says !

    the best version is by Scott WALKER; To me this one is a MASSACRE ! a shame as it is such a beautiful song !

  • not good

  • Nina, Nina... oh Nina!

    Beauty in all forms!

  • She does even understand what she's singing ... she is an amazing singer but she's just destroying Jacques Brel's work ! Sorry

  • Comment removed

  • vous devriez vous acheter une âme, il y en a des pas chères. Vous verrez avec une âme vous vivrez mieux, Vous apprécierez alors les deux versions. Ah propos achetez aussi un dictionnaire. Bonjour chez vous !

  • @interne21 Majuscule, Ce, Jacques, qu'elle, sa, gueule. Putain.

  • la beauté de la langue française ajoutée l'accent et à l'émotion de la voix de nina simone, c'est beau à en pleurer.les mots me manquent.

  • she sould not sing a song if she can not do the accent.And the performance was really weak.

    If you want to know how this song should sound like, try Mirelle Mathieus version.

  • What the heck is that Nina you just ruined a spectacular song...

  • ja,ja,ja

  • absolute superspitze

  • she's a queen

  • adorei!!!

    

  • This may not be one of MS's best performances, but she remains one of the most compelling musicians of the last century. Absolutely nobody does Brel better than the man himself - no debate there. But one must give NS credit for singing the song as originally written, vs. performing the bastardization of a translation by Rod McKuen,(If You Go Away). Finally, I'm tired of hearing the complaint, re: NS's "accent" - French was not her first language. So what. Quite nitpicking, and enjoy her genius.

  • What SHIT!

  • je t'ofwriewrai

  • @jabberewocky mdr sérieux

  • i like nina simone, but i absoluty hate this version!

    the accent it's so horrible.........

    terrible song.

    just listen to Jacques Brel!

  • @jerolimo69 she actually did an absolutely heartbreaking and beautiful studio version in which her accent is nothing but charming too. this is just a real bad performance esp. given her talent.

  • Merci à Jacques Brel.

  • One of the most beautiful song, performed by one of the gratest artist ever.

  • Is this late in her career?

  • Merci madame.

  • I love nina but Jacques Brel is the best version

  • Grosse News! Nina Simone est VINCENT MACDOOM :)

  • I really love Nina, she is a fantastic jazz singer. However she has really murdered this song, her french is terrible, the accompaniment really doesn't fit and its just abit lifeless. The original by Jacques Brel is far more emotional moving and better in every way. This song just can't be sung by anyone else. Sorry Nina

  • If this link posts, here is a beautiful English translation....

  • Chacun a sa sensibilité et il faut respecter celle de l'autre. Et bien je trouve qu'elle y met beaucoup de sensibilité pour quelqu'un dont ce n'est vraiment pas la langue. Elle s'efforce de respecter la sensibilité que cette chanson contient. Nina Simone a fait un pas en plus que n'a pas franchi David Bowie qui interprète Amsterdam à sa façon et c'est pas mal non plus d'ailleurs.Mais c'est courageux de la part de Nina Simone, je le maintiens

  • Maravilhossa t amo nina ...

  • Nina is a uniquely beautiflul singer. Can't compare to anyone. 

  • j'ai écouté cette chanson pour voir comment elle chantait cette chanson mais..... je pense que de mon point de vue la chanson et totalement massacré la :s

  • @mianistra et toi tu massacres l'orthographe et la syntaxe mais on te dit rien hein. C'est un style différent, c'est tout.

  • @thisisviiiiice HAHAHAHA tu sais "casser" les gens avec leurs orthographe est vraiment nul signe des faibles.... après je ne pratique pas le Français tout les jours parce que je ne suis pas Français tout simplement.

    Regarde la version de David Bowie qui chante "dans le port d'Amsterdam", lui la chante en Anglais et ça reste pas mal, après je trouve que cette version n'est pas de mon gout c'est MON point de vue. tout le monde a le droit de ne pas aimer

  • Sorry to say, this is nothing compared to the original of Brel. There is no feeling inher performance.

  • bonjour merci pour cette magnifique chanson chantait par nina simone .mes amitiés bisous lylka

  • Jacques Brel maitrisait la langue française avec perfection, quand ils prononcent les mots ceux ci nous percutent au plus profond de nous-même. L'accent de Nina passe mal du coup l'émotion émise n'est pas la même, je ne parviens pas à rentrer dedans personnellement. Cependant, merci Nina de lui rendre hommage.

  • @JackSidius while playing the piano in that heart-rending dirge...her struggles with the language only add to the poignancy of the performance

  • PERFECTION!

  • It's not Jesus,it's simply Nina and Jacques

  • Nina Oh Nina,j'espère que tu as trouvé,ici,ce que l'on t'a refusé ailleurs,je t'aime.

  • In spanish i´m from Guatemala (the most of you dont¨n know where is it) Central America, this is the song... great feelings is in our sking. es una canción que se siente en la piel. No me dejes... Dont leave me...

  • @yestrada10 Hola amigo! Quien te ha dicho que nosostros no sabemos donde es Guatemala. Yo soy de Grecia y te envio mis amistades. Soy de acuerdo contigo: Esta cancion se siente en la piel. Buenos dias!!!

  • @DVSEREM Gracias por contestar. Saludos desde Guatemala pais de la eterna primavera.

  • @yestrada10 También hemos escuchado de tu país en algunos partes de Irlanda. Además fui a visitarlo hace mucho y puedo decirte que es un país muy especial e histórica con una gente muy simpático. También me gusta Nina aunque prefiero la versión de Jaques Brel. Saludos de Irlanda

  • @wardrobewithwheelson Hola me alegro mucho que hayas conocido mi pais, y saber que en Europa hay gente culta. Tienes razon en mejor con Jaques Brel. Saludos

  • This is awful. Total shit compared to the original version.

    She sings the song with no emotion, as if she's bored like hell...

  • FANTASTIC

  • was her voice *below* the range of a contralto? her voice was so stunning.

  • Transcribir Audio!!! MIMICKING THE POWER

  • La grande classe !!! Merci Madame !

    Merci pour le post .

  • Великая!!!

  • there r 196 deaf ppl in here

  • muito bomm 

  • people are inspired to be free and selfish....fuck everybody.

  • Amazing ... Im shivering ...

    Don't forget to listen to Jacques Brel's version too.. He's a wonderful singer/interpreter as well....

  • wonderful song from nina simone , and it's an amazing memorie of our jacques brel

    thk u nina simone

  • if this woman hit me i will die in one second .,

  • I don´t like this video...

    is an imitation...

  • @JulinhoGroup an imitation like Elvis, The Beach Boys, and a lot more others who stole Black's music? Besides, if it was an "imitation" then Jacques Brel would've sewed her and many others who "imitated" this song. *Ps, I know you're not trying to make it racial, but do your research. It's called a "remake".

  • THE BEST

  • genius

    

  • I can't feel emotions here.. Listen Maysa Matrazzi version, it makes me cry everytime..

  • That's the best interpretation of that song, she gave it life. I live Jacque Brel And Nina too, I think it's awesome!!! Ca fait du bien de l'ecouter chanter la chanson de Jacque Brel!! C'est agreable!! :)

  • i didnt like this jaques brel is the best for this song i think

  • Her American accent makes this an immortal interpretation of this beautiful French song.

  • It's always better this way.

  • Beautiful rendition... Love you Rudy RIP !

  • Je t'aime Nina merci. Tu donne du baume au coeur a tout les français

  • A stunningly beautiful tribute to the amazing Jacques Brel by the equally amazing Nina Simone. C'est magnifique!

  • linda!!!!!

  • It seems plain. As if she didn't really "felt" those words, their genuine power.

    Yet she's a great artist !

  • Merci ma belle

  • this is some shameful shit Nina

  • yes but just listen to her recoding on Phillips records of this song and you'll see how much she owns it - Scott Walker and Jacques Brel don't make it to the car park

  • BRAVA!! REST IN PEACE MS. NINA

  • There are simply no words.

  • Awesome!!!!!!! 

  • She looked so fragile as an appearance but also as she was singing !!!!

  • 180 Tasteless people.

  • gorgeous!

    

  • i get bumps. big ones. and my heart hurts and my eyes well with tears.

  • Adoro essa perola negra!

  • Goddess On Earth!!!

  • Beautiful woman

    Beautiful song

    Beautiful performance!

  • Verschrikkelijk...

  • Staggeringly beautiful and I don't understand a word

    But I can just demand my emotions flow

    To tell me what I may never know

    Nor need of care as my mind

    It is all but there!

  • @davidoffon and the words keep up with the melody...they are a most beautiful poem by themselves

  • @itnow Do you mean my words or her words?

  • @davidoffon come on...the french words written by Jacques Brel

  • @itnow If i don't know what you're what your saying then I can't be part of what you are playing

    As I don't even know that game!!

  • @davidoffon "Don't you leave me, don't you leave me

    We must forget , eveything can be forgotten,

    That is fleeing away already

    the misunderstandings, and the waisted time

    Wondering to know how to forget the tears that would kill sometimes

    By always asking why, at the heart of happiness...( that is the beginning ,that is the best i Can do, I hope you like...enjoy!

  • @davidoffon dude it's not difficult to translate this wonderful song from Jacques Brel

    

  • @dobi1keldobi I don't think you understand and in that I don't remember it is impossible to put you right, I write what runs amuck amid my imaginations little child, one time meek, now never mild!!

  • @dobi1keldobi Wow man what are you talking about?

  • @dobi1keldobi shes saying don't leave me in French

  • @davidoffon very nice said...... this is an amazing soul that has showed me so much!!!! has helped torn down my ego and some of my selfish human ways... one of my favourite teachers in this life....

  • Hermosisima version, para mi la mejor. Amo a esta mujer. Canta como siente. No es para nada comercial. Una gran artista, la amo.

  • Bravo! Different de la version originale, mais faite avec un peu de l'esprit des immigrants en France

  • well, i don't expect nina to have a "french" accent - what about all the french singers who sing "english" songs with a "french" accent.

    get a life

  • Such a great artist. The ability to be uniquely herself and that's the mark of true greatness. Today we have to ask who is that singing because of the sameness so often heard. But, then you knew exactly who was at the mic because of true artistry!! Much Love!!

  • MUITO LINDO!
