  • Dit is zowaar Jacques Brel waard.

    Good Job, Mrs. Adam !

  • i only came across her last year.. while i dont know what she is singing about, i enjoy listening to her voice, and the songs she sings.. we have similar tastes in music ;) thank you for the marvelous work you have done to bring her catalogue of songs, from the past to the present day, to youtube..

  • My English is far from perfect so sadly my translation can't really do justice to how heartbreaking this song is.. but I did my best. =)

    Translation follows...

  • 1) Cars rage through the city, everything in motion. Neon lights flash in the rain. People rush by, streets lie wet. Oh, I wish I'd run into someone. With a smile on his lips, with a song in his heart, with a handful of soft words, on this Christmas day. I don't know where to anymore. I feel so alone. I'd like to make a song, even if just a little one, to touch all those people, to be happy.

  • 2) But for who, for what, and whom. I'm so tired, I have no strength to be happy for myself. I just follow along, stopped fighting long ago. The stream of people sweeps me along. Who are you, my Lord, my God. I call you by your name. I wish you were here with me, then I'd have a word with you. I'd really like to know if you truly are love. Have you forgotten me. Did you even know me.

  • 3) But if you truly are God, if you really do exist, then I don't understand, my God, why you let everything happen around you. My God, I wish I'd run into you. I would take you all around the world. I would show you everything.

    Everyone is always on the way to someplace, never any time to take shelter together. One by one lights dim, streets lie wet. The parks so abandoned. I'd like to a make a song, even if just a little one. And through that, to be happy.

  • @AegisLow decent translation, actually :)

  • Correction: "But for who, for what, and whom" should be "But for who, for what, and how".

  • Prachtig meid ;)
