I am right in assuming this is the french version of the song "if you go away"? cause I love that song and it hase exactly the same melody and phrasing and I LOVED this when she sang it in sydney.
Keep up the fight for understanding. We don't all hate each other as much as we like to pretend. We'll all figure it out eventually, but don't get tired of contradicting such assumptions :)
She sung this solo as a encore at the end of her gig in Napier. Perfectly silent, amazing. Was my favorite piece of the night

sure it's a belgian song...and belgian people speak french! THE SONG IS IN FRENCH!
It's as if I was saying "it's a london song" that Elton John is singing!
Sorry for my english, I'm french.

I really like the Dusty Springfield version of this song. As much as i love Bic, yeah, I'd have to agree, she has a terrible accent!

This is blasphemy. I grew up with Brel through my dad, and this is true horror. So much for Piaf's claim of that it's not suited for men.

Does somebody know that Jacques Brel is actually a Begian singer/songwrighter.. and even is originally more flemisch than frensch :)
Anyway it's a frensch song and one of the best there is.
