Thank you so much for making Brel's songs understandable to me! You're doing such great work!

Do you plan on reuploading 'Madeleine' with subs? I'm dying to show it to my friends :D

Félicitation pour ces trés belles vidéos .

Georges Brassens l'aurait chanté ainsi ;

Sur cette jolie chaîne il n'y a rien à jeter ,
sur l'île déserte ,il faut tout emporter .  ( > Georges Brassens - Rien à jeter )

c'est pas frustrant pour les francophones de lire les traductions? même s'ils sont de qualité, quand même, je ressens toujours beaucoup de charme perdu, parce que c'est difficile de traduire les rimes, et la subtilité des nuances que met dans leurs textes brel ou brassens
