Jacques Brel-Ne me quitte pas (Eng. Subtitles)

[death0personified]

He's incredibly unattractive O__0

[goosemunky]

@death0personified and in comparison to him, you're incredibly untalented O_0

[djflowerz]

This is so amazing

[craigfromnewcastle]

I don't want to like it - I don't want to like him - but hey, the bumps on my skin never lie, so something's going on.

? How strange :)

[Tresfres]

I have no words for the 36 people that clicked on dislike!

[pesaram1986]

Merci, Tank you, Sepas.

[BuffaloTPU]

is it me or is this guy always sweating like a mother-fucker?

[LatynaH]

@BuffaloTPU it's emotion, he's not a robot..

[ErikGrutzmann]

Cette chanson est pleine de sentiment, spécialement quand il chantait.

[guolih92]

So belgian!! No french..

[fmjbab25]

Jacques ....you are the interpretor what soul means...jurgen  fmjba@hotmail.com

[Mritalicsmine]

It's refreshing to see a singer who feels passion.

[metafa]

I feel like hugging him :'(

[nuno22467]

Comments should be disabled. There's just no words to describe what this means.

[amberreadsbooks]

this pulls at my heartstrings, the piano sounds just beautiful and his voice is so desperate. It's hard not to be sympathetic and even identify with him.

[LPFTWify]

i havnt cried in a long time, i believed to be emotionally soulless, i saw this video for the first time, seeing the emotions this man puts out, hearing the pain in his voice and then i teared, im watching this for the 15th time probally? and i still tear.

amazing song, sung by this amazing artist

[brentortroll]

Oh Barbara...

[DerekEynon]

The quintessential version. By the CRINGE, he's ugly. 

[sarahpedeal]

J'ai vu cette vidéo, il y a 30 ans probablement. J'etais trés impressionnee a ce temps-la comme je suis aujourd'hui. Chanteurs comme lui, comme Patrick Bruel, Francis Cabrel, Lara Fabian m'ont donné la desire d'apprendre le francais

[mediumweirdo]

Breathtaking...

[AvalancheJD]

He's not French he's from the French speaking part of Belgium!

[LettingGoIsMyName]

-I remember when our french teacher first showed us this....a little weird, but it's growing on me slowly! :)

[JoAlxoxo27]

che angoscia!

[arthurmarlboro]

Ok its my fault there is all this fighting between the English & the French ! I confess, I did it but I didnt aim to (nor did I ) make any profit from it. I did suffer a great deal like this man and I don't have even the strength to sing this to the French - because I think I once liked the French (Delacroix & Voltaire atleast).

Watching this video my respect for the French increases. They are very sentimental and human though I can see how it could be a national security concern.

[MegaJuddo]

@arthurmarlboro Dipshit piss off

[arthurmarlboro]

@arthurmarlboro Ok I love this song ok. I love this wonderful man. I like him and admire him very much and I really appreciate French culture and songs - really. What are you guys so upset about? What did I say wrong? I apologize if I was callous or reckless with my words. Bless all of you specially the noble French people.

[guolih92]

@arthurmarlboro he was belgian, it's more good =)

[arthurmarlboro]

@guolih92 whatever the nationality of the man we MUST LOVE and respect the sensitive, the vulnerable, the kind, the loving and we must stand up to the abusive, the harsh, the hard and the hateful. We respect and deal with kindness towards those who are sweet and penitent and introspective. The others we hope find our forgiveness.

[AlicelnWonderIand]

Stop being against each other. Can't you see that someone once put English and French against each other to bring chaos and make profit out of it?

[drivenhome]

missing my man, listening, he calls, he just knows when to call..

[Rouhul]

if you go away in summer days

[1jsmoore]

I may be childish but you are still an idiot...

[Tlmorrison88]

Petrache66 I am actually pretty well read do not have a snotty attitude toward the French and it would be nice if you didn’t have such a presumptuous and snotty attitude toward Americans. If you argument holds true then that means the French cannot express intelligent opinions about American music, or any other music except French. I consider that patently foolish and hopefully upon reflection you will feel the same.

[petrache66]

@Tlmorrison88 First I will ignore the epithets/insults you addressed to me (snotty, foolish, presumptious) and I will address your arguments. 1) Being well read has little to do with understanding the spirit of a culture. You may know all the kings of France but know nothing about its culture (Do you speak French?) 2) One can express an "intelligent" opinion about an engine or an equation. One has to FEEL a song. French music is for you like a colour for a blind person, and it's not your fault.

[tjgwright]

I've read more poignant translations but the performance is off the charts

[DeapPolitical]

I loved this when I first heard it in a high school french class... But now that I've actually known what it's like to want to beg a woman not to leave me, this song absolutely destroys me. I don't know how people manage to be clinical in the analysis of something so powerful. I read that Jacques pitied this character. It takes a brave man to be publicly pitiful for the sake of art.

[ibrahimturkey73]

Bana kitap al.

[MrBjs47]

Les dieux se vantent d'avoir Apollon dieu de l'art et de la beauté athana, Zeus, Eros le dieu de l'amour.

Nous les hommes nous Avons JACQUES BREL qui, au sommum de sa gloire, n'a pas à envier ces dieux là. requiem animae suae Deum!

[barioz21297]

I think once I heard it I fell in love for the first time

[Cyrano1202]

You can feel it when you read the lyrics.

You can dream it when you hear the melody.

You have to share it when you see him suffer like real:

This is the masterpiece of an essential human experience. Of being left alone.

[Tlmorrison88]

I have to disagree. Miel is also the spelling of the spanish language, although I am sure the pronunciation is something different. It still comes across as honey to me. And while the connotations may diverge somewhat between the Belgians (or French), it still has something of the same emotional impact, and probable overuse. Overall, I still consider this a second rate song.

[Tlmorrison88]

I listened to this because I was told he was very poetic. Hopefully something was lost in the translation because to me this is sentimental hyperbole at its worst. I hope the woman did leave him. I hope I just happened to pick his worst song.

[TheMysteriousZebra]

@Tlmorrison88 Some of it was lost in translantion indeed, but there is also the fact that the way some words sound in french is more poetic than their english counterpart.

Easy exemple, some people call their loved one or daughter ''honey'', yet in french, that would be ''miel''. It just doesn't feel natural like it does in english.

[petrache66]

@Tlmorrison88 Mr. Morrison, please stick to English songs (dont't know, Guns and Roses? ACDC? Queen? whatever) and leave French music to those who can FEEL it. You were born and grew up in the English-based (or American-based) culture and tastes, so please don't offer opinions on matters you are clueless about. It's like the blind man giving opinions on the colour red.

[1jsmoore]

@Tlmorrison88 you are simply an absolute idiot.

[Tlmorrison88]

@1jsmoore Come, com.  Let's not be childish.

[Lla730]

@Tlmorrison88 if you dont speak french you will never be able to understand this song. so tbh your opinion is worthless because it is based on a translation and you cant translate a song

[tonio3lonboard]

He is so beautiful ! And I am a straight guy.

But it is even better if you can understand him in your mother-tongue ! :-) He is one of theses singers who really live their deep, poetic songs.

[amiri228]

Moi je t'offrirai Des perles de pluie Venues de pays Où il ne pleut pas Je creuserai la terre Jusqu'après ma mort Pour couvrir ton corps D'or et de lumière Je ferai un domaine Où l'amour sera roi Où l'amour sera loi Où tu seras reine Ne me quitte pas Ne me quitte pas Ne me quitte pas Ne me quitte pas .......

[andeeeleee]

I'm just crying, its so beautiful!

[Frenchkisssss]

Jacques Brel ! Immortel !

[toupi514]

My boyfriend sing me that when i break up with him :(

[Frenchkisssss]

@toupi514 ow fuck off kid ! my lord !

[szalor13]

@toupi514 get the fuck out

[augustinecarla]

Rest in peace Jacques Brel <3 We love you !

[jebik]

crying. every time.

[loz512]

it isn't all sweat, it is mostly tears

[maitalaa1]

¿por que suda tanto?

[oli271192]

A good Belgian!!

[oli271192]

@oli271192

[DyXXed]

This song has changed my life. I was sad, depressed and pessimistic about life, but the sheer positive energy and bright look onto the world that just radiates from the words of this brilliant artist has set me onto the right path again. I am a changed man.

[chrisbrownhottie20]

i first heard this song from my favorite french teacher last year as the school year was coming to a close. When she played this song, I literally teared up from how beautiful this song is and i could say that it is seldom that i tear up for a song. I think this is brilliant and so unique.Thank God for the internet and the replay button lol

[LeandroLeoVideos]

Maravilhoso!!!!!!!

[misshayatofhearts]

Nobody else could do this with a mere piano and voice nowadays.

[Multi002233]

this is the song that is a real song......

[Alickmarquis]

Grand jacques

This song as two meaning, a love song and a requiem from god to eve(lucifer)the valkyries who has been punish and landed on earth as a phoenix.lyrics dont make really make sens if it was only a lovesong.(black and red, kingdom which love is the law, the king who died which is salomon, pearle from never raining land, i would dig the earth to cover your body with gold and light; let me be the shadow of your dog and on the original version of the song, you can hear a bird singing

[MrSvetis]

Brel sang this song on stage after being dumped by artist Veronique Sanson, that's why there is so much emotion in his voice, face and gesture.

[fafase]

@MrSvetis Mmmm you sure of that because Veronique Sason was 10 at the time the song was written...What if we say it was Suzanne Gabriello?

[britsangel]

He's just so expressive, his face, his gestures... He's so honest and passionate in the same time, amazing, Jacques Brel, you have all my respect and caring!

[Cristianne997]

Ele cantou com toda a verdade que existia no coraçao , isso tornou a musica verdadeira ..

[SuperLaChanson]

Cette Chanson est tres belle

[astronut66]

Share2go, that's a laugh, cos it wont let me share this video as you have embedding disabled. So many people missing out.

[vincedc55]

Jacques Brel may not be much to look at, but he can reach deep into my heart -- into my very essence -- to squeeze and twist it till every emotion of love and loss I’ve ever felt swirl and boil and finally burst into a million points of light… leaving me spent and unafraid

[ma19501]

we needs more singers like him. jacques brel rest in peace my brother!

[DanBlabbers]

A little boy and a broken man...

[mrsaifulbahari]

i want sing it back

[njsoccerguy444]

Cette chanson est tres belle

[pzaklmno5]

immense !

[doctiloupTvOfficial]

j'ai les larmes aux yeux cette chanson est vraiment sublime digne d'un vrai génie .... <3< <3

[TheFbca]

33 People have no soul

[woahhazel]

i get the feeling he is singing to a dead woman, idky

[ClarkSavageJr1]

@woahhazel

He's actually singing about his former girlfriend whose child he didn't acknowledge as his. She had an abortion and threw Brel out of her life. Brel confessed the song was about cowardice of men.

[duduric]

Truer words have never been spoken.

[HeriBirdy]

He is the best, he is the one who turned his soul inside out and gave a bit away til nothing was left and he left us. His face is a book with a million pages, his voice is a songbook with no end. His light shines still today and will shine forever. If ever anybody has tried to sing about the pain of love, everybody failed except him. I would give so much to able to be in the audience of this concert. But we cannot turn back the clock and will follow him one day.

[ebabette]

No need to compare, just enjoy!

[commodore665]

Their are 32 people out there with no soul, every time I watch this a tears come to my eyes

[huskylover0724]

OMG... My tears keep running out...

[Saberfefty]

Fuckin 32 idiot ...

[vandewieljeroen]

niet alleen een geweldige zanger, maar iemand die emotie overbrengt, die rechtstreeks binnen komt,zijn naakte lijden wordt ook jou verdriet, ongeëvenaard.

[Joann1athena]

Unbelievably beautiful lyrics and performance. Thank you.

[daisies53]

Heaven to ones ears, hearing song sung in its true glory sung with such passion and in beautiful language that the french language exudes!

[wikidzmon]

@eddiewrenn you are such a bell...

[TheSDBSickness]

I almost can't watch this. This is just too real



[rinkokoto]

@TheSDBSickness I think I know what you mean, I felt as if any moment he'd break down sobbing, at that I would, too, because I was just too sad with him.

[Archivioinutile]

Pollice alto se gigi proietti vi ha mandato qua!

[matseman46]

OMG!!! This was emotions.....Love it. I beleved every word.

[insochmo]

possibly the best musical performance ever captured on film imo.

[DutchMeNow]

The magnificence of Jacques Brel defies my ability to comment on this video.

[rhiannonbjones]

This is real music. Real emotions. Real meaning.

[daisies53]

This is just out of this world :)

[straycat316]

Beautiful, touching, heartbreaking, brilliant, just everything.

[TomasDiStefano2011]

Bravo! Bravo for the frenchman! Bieber...Gaga...etc...you all suck!

[johanna794]

heel mooi

[nemoduck]

Incredible performance!

[HopeWithPandora]

I'm immersed in meloncholic heaven... and I'm feeling pensive but free...

[MsCoscarelli]

Dragostea  nu cunoaste limite!Adevarata dragoste doare si dupa

[KaleunMaender77]

Hey guys... maybe he's in the middle of the rain...? Just putting it out there.

But knowing the literal meaning is so important to feeling the story. And Brel definitely projected the right, full emotions in this song (and Laat Me Niet Alleen)... French might be the language of love, but it's also the language of despair...

[fafase]

@KaleunMaender77 I just gave a thumb up to your last sentence!!!! and I am french.

[Dieuabv]

This was an real artist. He sings with all his passion and pain. Pure emotion.

Not that shit from today, like Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, etc. That is no art, it's just feed for the pigs.

[Revilozation]

@Dieuabv Totally with ya (Y)

[Babyhowdy233]

@Dieuabv

My very thought!

[paulridgway1]

emotion,the bloody frogs aint got a clue when it comes to emotion,

[franesBlamescheezytv]

The emotion and the true feelings he contributes into the song is just beautiful. As well as the piano.

[david1austin]

the only other performer that came even close to this in terms of capturing the emotion of the story is Johnny Hallyday

search youtube for ...

Johnny Hallyday. Ne me quitte pas. Les annees Part 17

[david1austin]

Jacques Brel's best performance I've seen. I felt so sorry for him, he is so heart broken ... so so sad

[benlovesong1]

You tell me it's not true! Look at the amount of fluid it exudes a mad as song! It's like watching the candle wax soon stops! I completely understand the excitement and melancholy that he expressed during the song ... It's just ... what the hell!? @whoPLUSzeppelin

[12DonutnsNoHands]

The light at the end of the tunnel that Brel is looking for might be too hard reach, but he sure put a hell of a performance unmatched till now.

[gotantwo]

Raw longing love, beautiful....

[benlovesong1]

Why is he sweating like vanilla ice cream under a huge magnifying

glass on the hot year! What the hell!?!?!?

[whoPLUSzeppelin]

@benlovesong1 what a weird comparison..

[suzsiz]

tears in my eyes <3 True love never dies

[jerarshabani]

Respect!!!!!!

[mattXOG]

Unbelievable.

[0raj11]

I think that english version of this song sung by Momus is even better than Brel;s original - it expresses even more emotions and is more touching.

Check it out: ?v=o7YEuP4onJk

[RAFAAJ2000]

@0raj11 Nobody has ever been able to put so much emotions in their song like Jacsues Brel has. Did you watch "AMSTERDAM", "CES GENS LA" ....

[honeydip189]

this is my jammmmmmmmm *girlllll bump this shit!*

[rintintinification]

Jacques Brel had large teeth, didn't he?

[TickleMaTurkey]

@rintintinification Yep ... he didnt have botox, a nose job, brow lift, lipo, fillers, skin peel or spray tan. Its from a time when people looked like people and didnt give a shit

[hczxp91]

@TickleMaTurkey and yet he is still an amazingly handsome man.

[TickleMaTurkey]

@hczxp91 Man being the operative word. He can sing a song like that and still not look effeminate or girly

[matseman46]

@TickleMaTurkey U got it! . I miss it: When where people was true. And was

[egylink2009]

OMG . I didn't see like this feelings before

it is perfecr

[globalman]

Thank you for this...... The english version is very credible but in French it is profound and moving....... it breaks one's heart. His legend is well deserved unlike the tawdry people of the past 20 or so years.

[familie0methorst]

2:30 to 3:01 is honestly the single most beautiful verse I have ever heard. Analyzed it again and again and the imagery is just marvelous. Love Jacques Brel and especially this ballad!

[duffbrainard]

It would be a wonderful world if clingy, sweaty and desperate heartsick people would appear attractive.

[callowaymotorcompany]

He must be related to gary dell'abate with those teeth

[inarel90]

Where did you find these lyrics? The translation is close to the original and absolutely wonderful. Thank you for posting this!

[iwaslolita]

kruno volin te

[jane3850ify]

A typical Brel performance (sweaty and simple) of his signature song. This translation sticks close to the french text and is actually helpful. It is amazing how much passion Brel puts into his performance, especially when you realize that he traveled around and performed incessantly during his early singing career.

Jane.

[Ameiric]

SUBLIME

[markialgerian]

Ne me quitte pasIl faut oublier..Tout peut s'oublier..Qui s'enfuit déjà..Oublier le temps..Des malentendus..Et le temps perdu..A savoir comment..Oublier ces heures..Qui tuaient parfois..A coups de pourquoi..Le cœur du bonheur...........

[jaguey]

The only thing I could say is...Thank you....Belgium...

[garbidz]

You think you are falling through love and nothing can change it.

Brel's coarse voice articulating the simple, naive words that you cannot misunderstand unless you are no more there.

The most beautiful love song of the European culture as far as I am concerned.

[doublehazelshot]

great song(!) but I am more astonished by the long teeth he has@__@

[theearthadorned]

After listening to this recording of the song, all other recordings of it sound hollow and emotionless.

[ayelikemilk]

This dude is super sweaty

[b00i00d]

Fuckin wow! I've loved this song since a french algerian girl introduced me to it at uni, a long time ago, and I've heard it by many performers besides Brel (Julio is a notable one). But I'd never before seen the man himself doing it live and it is so direct, his feeling is like a naked wire... Beautiful!

[medardlefevre]

No one even comes close.

[Cyrano1202]

I haven't cried for twenty years but this performance makes my tears run down as often as I watch it.

Desperation and hope, fighting and begging, little boy and broken man, all so intense, all so authentic, all in one song.

Thank you Jacques Brel. Je ne veux pas pleurer, mais elle m'a quitte ...

[medardlefevre]

Belgium and France should be embarassed by not better promoting the legacy of one of the greatest entertainers and songwriters ever.

[chandeshtk]

Quasimodo's song to Esmeralda..

[khosseni]

Now I don't know, if this song is the original or the English version, If you go away?

[KittyKattyYukiLvr]

@khosseni This is the original. :)

[TTFLS]

@khosseni lol!

[hellojacobhitch4545]

I won't leave you Jacques....

[rjohn19]

Now I don't just share this with anybody but I'll tell you folks because anyone listening to Brel must be okay in my book.

Back in the 70's, if there was a girl I really wanted to score with but thought I had no chance with, I'd take her to see "Jacques Brel Is Alive and Well and Living in Paris." My success rate was 100%.

His music was magic.

[naomisztam]

Oh my God this is the most beautiful song. He sings it straight from his heart and soul. Wow.

[mrlolzot]

If i would have to die now i would die happy.

[sarviiiii]

great song great singer
