The best anti-corrida song!
The only anti Corrida song.
@@minahquentin1127 Nah, there are many. Try for example "The Bullfighter dies"by Morrissey
La plus jolie et la plus triste aussi
Yes mama... merci
Ska-p Verguenza ! Great anti-corrida song !
Since the time i'm awaiting
in that dark room
I hear cheers and songs
At the end of that corridor;
Someone touched the lock
And I dived into the light of day
I saw the brass bands, the fences
And the people around
In the first moments I believed
I only had to defend myself
But this place is a dead-end
I start to understand
They locked it behind me
They were afraid I would step back
I will end up getting it
This ridiculous ballerina ...
Is that world serious?
Andalusia I remember
The pastures borded of cactuses
I'm not going to shake in front of
That puppet, that lightweight!
I'm going to catch him, he and his hat
Make him spin like a sun
Tonight the wife of the torero
Will sleep on both ears1
Is that world serious?
I pursued all those ghosts
Almost touched their ballet slippers
They'd hit hard in my neck
For me to give in
Where are they coming from those acrobats
With their costumes made of paper?
I never learned to fight
Against dolls
To feel the sand under my head
It's crazy how good it feels
I prayed for all this to stop
Andalusia I remember
I hear them laugh like I gasp
I see them dance like I succumb
I did not know one could have so much
Fun around a tomb
Is that world serious?
Is that world serious?
[in Spanish]
Yes, yes man, man
Dance, dance
We have to dance once again
And we'll kill others
Other lives, other bulls
And kill others
Come on, come on
Come on, come to dance
Thanks for a such a good translation
Thx you very much 🙏 . Will only add that it is "is 'this' world serious?" Instead of 'that'.
Ça méritait cette traduction... Les paroles sont tellement belles..... imagées....tristes. en tout grâce à ta traduction, c'est ainsi partagé. Merci
merci infiniment pour cette traduction exacte les mot sont justes. infinit thanks for this exact traduction, all words are goods.
I love that song full of compassion. The bull feels trapped in a ridiculous show he cannot escape from. Have never watched a corrida and won't.
You don't miss anything...this is a useless slaugther of a noble animal.
Juste see it one Time...Nevers again..
You’ve never seen a corrida ? That’s maybe why you say some bullshit about it and think you are a wise woman
@@remoaron3211 You can put it any way you want, it is animal torture, it is a selfish act of men for the sake of tradition. someone not agreeing with it does not warrant to call their opinion bullshit. If you are happy to look away from the moral issue it is your problem, but don't act like somehow you need to see it and have experience in it to be allowed to dislike this practice.
A tradition can be cruel and unnecessary, you don't get a pass cause it is old and makes some people feel like it connects them to their culture.
You don't sound very wise yourself
Les paroles sont très importantes dans les chansons de Francis Cabrel. Il raconte toujours une histoire.
J'adore "Assis sur le rebord du monde"
l'un de nos meilleur parolier
"Il m'a semblé voir trop briller ses yeux"
Je ne saurais pas l'expliquer, mais cette phrase de La Cabane du Pêcheur m'a toujours bouleversé.
Un poète trop souvent moqué.
J'ai senti glisser le manteau... de l'enfance. -La Robe et l'échelle.
Mon dieu cette phrase 😍
Un samedi soir sur la Terre ... En fait cet album, il est ++++ pour moi :) Mais en tout temps, ses chansons m'ont bouleversées ... L'encre de tes yeux ...
Toutes ces chansons sont incroyables et ses paroles des merveilles. Un poète inégalé. Des paroles à couper le souffle et tellement d'émotions à travers ces musiques. L'acoustique est sa marque aussi. On ne peut qu'adorer.
This song makes me cry every time.... So sad... Stop violence towards animals. This world is definitely not right at all. This album is beautiful, probably one of his best. From Francis, try "Petite Marie", a beautiful love song for his wife.
And go vegan every body ;)
@@captainpawpawchannel yes, that’s the only thing that make sense! 🌱🌱🌱
It is a very beautiful song.
I loved that song when the song was first diffused. Then, I grew up and understood that the lyrics meant. Since then, I cannot bear to listen to it anymore.
"Petite marie" et " je rêve " super mélodies
Nobody hate Francis Cabrel in France. It s like a saint of music..and love.
Bah si moi, je ne supporte pas Cabrel, c’est toujours sur le même air. Sauf celle-ci j’avoue.
C'est qu'il est devenu inintéressant depuis 20 ans puis surtout soporifique! Si t'arrives pas à dormir, écoute les derniers albums de Cabrel et tu trouveras ton sommeil! ;-) 😅
@@jevousemmerdetouslesthunde2391 hihi, une seule chanson suffit.
@@murielle1703 Oui aussi j'allais le dire! ;-) Mais tout l'album c'était pour avoir un sommeil profond! 😂 Pour un sommeil léger, une chanson suffit! Une chanson= un cachet! ^^
@@jevousemmerdetouslesthunde2391 moi quand je n'arrive pas à dormir, je lis les commentaires de CatW, leur vacuité abyssal me plonge dans un sommeil sans rêves.
Cabrel est un poète, chaque mot, chaque phrase, chaque sonorité est de la dentelle, il consacre beaucoup de temps à l'écriture, et nous donne de véritables joyaux !
Corrida de Francis Cabrel, tells the experience seen by the bull, the wait, then the opening of the doors of the arene then the fight, the animal suffers, reveals his life of freedom in the plains when He must fight for his life, the Matador plants his banderilles. The public has fun and laugh ... I had a lot of trouble accepting this song at first, the bullfight was not the most beautiful shows as far as I'm concerned, I (yes I say me!) but the Song is very beautiful ... Thank you Dereck for this reac
La corrida de Francis Cabrel , raconte l'expérience vu par le taureau, l'attente , ensuite l l'ouverture des portes de l'ARENE puis le combat , l'animal souffre , revois sa vie de liberté dans les plaines alors qu' il doit lutter pour sa vie , le matador plante ses banderilles . le public s'amuse et ri ... J'ai eu beaucoup de mal a accepter cette chanson au début , la corrida s'est pas le plus beau des spectacles en ce qui me concerne , moi (oui je dis moi ! ) mais la chanson est très belle ... Merci dereck pour cette reaction
C'est même totalement horrible comme spectacle. Une corrida, c'est beau comme une salle de torture. Au moyen age , en europe, on allait voir les condamnés se faire torturer sur la place public. Maintenant, on va voir des taureaux se faire torturer... Finalement l'humain n'a pas beaucoup changé en 800 ans.
@@ben-cs8ez jamais au grand jamais on me feras voir une corrida, un combat de coqs ou autre. Même les zoos excepté certains qui ont des enclos vraiment très très grand je les fuis comme la peste
... mais cest une chanson anti Corrida, je ne vois pas pourquoi tu aurais du mal à l'accepter...
@@minahquentin1127 Hello , c'etait l'une des premiere fois que j'entendais la chanson dans les années 90 (il me semble) et la corrida (la vraie ) ca me met vraiment mal a l'aise alors une chanson sur ce theme , j'ai pas aimer, de plus j'étais en voiture donc pas forcement dans l'ambiance pour m'imprégner du sujet , je dis "au début" j'ai eu du mal , a ce jour j'ai accepter car depuis j'ai (re)écouter dans d'autres condition et compris les mots et leurs sens .
C'est moche tout ce que l'homme est capable d'infliger aux animaux et au vivant en général. Il est temps que tout cela change pour de bon.
It's so ugly how humans are able to make suffer animals and other beings. It's time for all of this to change for good.
Amazing anti-corrida song. The whole album is a masterpiece. My favorite is Octobre, very nostalgic.
This is a song about the Corrida - what happens to the bulls pushed into the ring to face "these little dancers". The song is to protest against bull fighting, written from the point of the bulls. It's such a sad song. You should know that these "little dancers" put vaseline in their eyes so that they can't see straight. They have spears pushed in their sides and lose a lot of blood. Must say that whenever these "little dancers in their fancy pants" get a horn or two and are thrown over, I cheer.
One of the more beautiful french song. Indeed, Nicolas Reyes from Gipsy Kings sang at the end ;)
I have goosebumps every time i hear it.. Lyrics are 90% of the song.. You should go deeper into it.. The bull is telling the story of how he sees the corrida, from his perspective, asking himself if this world is serious.. Feeling so relieved once his head is hitting the sand, when this painful torture and agony finally comes to an end.. It' s heartbreaking. The bull is surprised to see so many people cheering from his suffering, how can we have so much fun around a grave.. Is this world serious..
I get the goosebumps as soon as I hear the first notes of this song too. When I heard this song for the first time, I was still a little girl and didn't understand what it was about. But I could pick up the emotions from it, the sens of absurdity, the pain, the overall sadness. It has always moved me very deeply and when I listen to it with headset and immerge myself in the song, I always cry at the end.
I agree with you at 200% Dereck should have read all the lyrics. When the bull lays on the sand remembering Andalousia, it is so dramatic...
So true ! His way to describe the pain of the Bull, the stupidity of corrida... in such simple sentences. It's unique, i can't help myself from crying
One of the best albums in French music... Cabral isn't just a singer, he's a poet. My favourite one: Octobre. It's simply magical...
Octobre and Samedi Soir Sur la Terre are my favorite as well
Octobre pour moi aussi !
@@delbermpaulo1 Octobre oui
Non à la cruauté !
Non à la souffrance !
Non à la corrida !!
Oui aux jeux du cirque !
Oui à la corrida !
Non à la connerie des antispécistes !
Vas donc manger du quinoa, ça nous fera des vacances !
@@reynaldparisel3852 La mort n'est pas un jeu !
@@reynaldparisel3852 si tu as vraiment des couilles vas dans une arène comme aux temps des jeux du cirque et entretuez-vous à mort comme au bon vieux temps des romains, entre toreros, puisque vous aimez tant le sang (celui du taureau, surtout, pas le votre, hein), bandes de lâches.
Respectez cette culture régionale et ces gens, que vous ignorez.
@@BruneSixtine Si c'était une bande de maghrébins des quartiers de Marseille qui organisaient des combats à mort de chiens tu serais outrée hypocrite ...
A song against the corrida. The corrida seen by the bull. Sad and beautiful.
please try "petite marie", it's a masterpiece of his discography
confirmed by everyone on earth, and heaven too
Magnifique chanson aussi
thank you for this reaction Dereck.❤️ The lyrics of this song are so sad... "I didn't think we could have so much fun around a grave" 😔

J’aime beaucoup la chanson "hors saison"
le haut du panier là
J'ajoute "c'est ecrit"
Je t'aimais je t'aime et je t'aimerais
Je l'aime à mourir
For me, "Un samedi soir sur la Terre " and "Ma place dans le trafic (version 2001)".
bullfighting is the shame of France. But what a sublime song that that of francis Cabrel. It gives a touch of poetry where everything is horrible. Gorgeous. And yet I am not the biggest fan of this singer but what a poet!
la tauromachie est la honte de la France. Mais quelle chanson sublime que celle de francis Cabrel. Ça donne une touche de poésie là où tout est horrible. Magnifique. Et pourtant je ne suis pas la plus grande fan de ce chanteur mais quel poète !
Shout out to my french colleagues who recommended this one. My all time favourite from Francis, definitely.
La SEULE chanson qui me tire des larmes, et Dieu sait que je n'ai pas la larme facile !
Pareil pour moi. Je pleure à chaque fois que je l’entends. Quelle tristesse. Mais quel chef d’œuvre cette chanson . Francis a su se mettre dans la peau du taureau avec une telle vérité
One word.... great
Tellement de belles chansons en France 🇨🇵 merci de les faire découvrir au monde 👍
Très belle chanson
Magnifique chanson de Francis Cabrel. C’est un auteur compositeur interprète et les paroles de ses chansons sont très importantes. Il raconte toujours une histoire. Là, il se met dans la peau d’un taureau sacrifié dans l’arène.
Francis est un joyau pour nous. Un pilier de la chanson française.
The Spanish vocals in the end are sung by Nicolas Reyes, singer and guitarist from french band Gipsy Kings
the hole album is a masterpiece
The "hole"
@@tanguy.b4540 he means the wool

All the album, if you prefer 😁
@@legitor513 the wall ? :D
Hi Dereck, Francis Cabrel is my favorite french composer and singer, his songs was wonderful, its a french genius of music, please listen another splendid songs of him, he sing a masterpiece "je t'aimais, je t'aime et je t'aimerais" it's so magic, "sarbacane", "petite marie", "animal", "hors saison", "octobre", "la dame de haute savoie", "la robe et l'echelle", "te ressembler", "tout le monde y pense", "samedi soir sur la terre", its so beautiful songs too of this magnificent french singer.
"Je t'aimais, je t'aime et je t'aimerais" is really marvellous.
Non à toi, non à ton projet ! Quand j'entends le mot "Cabrel", je sors mon revolver !"
He is from literally down the road from my hometown. Great artist.
Cabrel, maître parolier, magnifique chanson ❤
Certainly the most beautiful words in the world. What artist could put himself in the place of an animal in order to express his pain and his discomfort in front of the human being who plays, laughs and sings. This song is part of my top. More powerful than the most beautiful voices or instrus
Cette chanson me prend les tripes à chaque fois.
Francis Cabrel the poet. My favorite French folk singer. "C'est écrit", "je t'aimais, je t'aime et je t'aimerai" are your next reactions of his'. 👍🙂
goosebumps each time I listen to this.
Hello Dereck, Well done Dereck, you chose the song well. I live in Bayonne, and I never go to corridas, it's a horror for me. This song is just wonderful in defense of the bulls. He sings as if he's the bull, and compares the toreador to a ridiculous dancer! just wonderful. Kiss from France
Thank you so much for this MASTERPIECE. This song is against the Corrida... this is a cruel game with a bull and a fucking toreador... Lyrics are stunning...😢😢😢
Hi Dereck. Unfortunately and sadly, bullfighting is something very traditional, popular and big in my home city in southern France near the Mediterranean, Nîmes. It's the only thing I do hate about the whole place that I like a lot. I wish they could use our beautiful Roman amphitheater for concerts only, but not for bullfighting that needs to be abolished as cruelty that belongs in the past. Tradition doesn't account for everything, otherwise there'd still be gladiators fighting to the death or Christian prisoners torn to pieces and eaten alive by lions.
Very well said!
Sauf que l'Homme civilisé n'est pas cannibale.
La chanson est belle et triste à la fois car c'est le taureau qui parle de sa mort pour le plaisir de l'homme 💔
Cette chanson est simplement magnifique 🙏
Continuez s'il vous plaît à explorer le monde de FCabrel🙋
My favourite Cabrel's song
Good music but important lyrics!
l'une des plus belles chansons françaises
Il y a tellement de belles chansons de Francis Cabrel à écouter que ce n’est pas facile à en sélectionner
One of his best songs (there's many!) Cabrel is very good at writing songs from a different perspective (in this case, the bull is telling the story). It forces you to see things in a different way and make you think...
No me gusta el tonodesu voz no es elmejor
This song... ♥ I'm so glad you're finally reacting to it !
I've watched him play it live in Nîmes, the bullring, it was spectacular.
One of his best Album "un Samedi soir sur la Terre", all songs are so beautiful
With that type of song you NEED to have the translation Derek ! This is poetry.
Yess ! La corrida is one of Francis Cabrel classics. I was sure you would like it Dereck. 👍🎧🎶
You see well through him. He is a very humble man. The lyrics are beautifuls (ho and I enjoyed your reaction till the end 😉)
The corrida but, through the bull's eyes
One of my Fav Albums.
THE BULL FIGHTING !

Andalusia I remember
The pastures borded of cactuses

That puppet, that lightweight!
I'm going to catch him, he and his hat
Make him spin like a sun
Tonight the wife of the torero
Will sleep on both ears1
Is that world serious?
I pursued all those ghosts
Almost touched their ballet slippers
They'd hit hard in my neck
For me to give in
Where are they coming from those acrobats
With their costumes made of paper?
I never learned to fight
Against dolls
To feel the sand under my head
It's crazy how good it feels

Andalusia I remember
I hear them laugh like I gasp

I cry every time I hear this song ! Stop corrida.
Ho my I'm so happy to see you give some love to this song, it is such an emotional journey every time I hear it. Thanks and I hope you will keep it in your playlist :)
Magnifique 🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺
One of my favorite songs 👍😍 thanks for your reaction
One of the best of Francis. He sang it in Spain during one of the "festivals". So who had the best bullocks ? Great respect to him.
I love to watch you discover some of my favorite songs, especially when I know that "that part" is coming later and that you're going to love it :)
Works with a lot of songs you've reviewed so far.
again, thank you, this song is so beautiful but so heartbreaking...
This is one of my top 5 favourite french songs in the world, so happy you reacted to it! (The others are Fete de Trop by Eddy de Pretto, Mistral Gagnant by Renaud, Je suis un homme by Zazie, and Veiller Tard by Jean-Jacques goldman) The lyrics are also masterful!
The lyrics are actually a description of the bullfight by the bull _ Great song
This is his best album ! I bought it when i turned 20 😅😢
So many emotions for me , merci dereck 💙
“Murs de poussière”, “Hors saison” and “Bonne nouvelle” are other Cabrel songs I personally love.
Chanson qui me rend triste. Je déteste la corrida
Oh the beautiful door you've opened with Francis Cabrel ❤ loved your analysis of the song, such a sad one when you look at the lyrics. Keep reacting to him please. Some ballads:
Octobre
Petite Marie
Je t'aimais, je t'aime, je t'aimerai
Hors Saison
C'est écrit
What is really genius about this song is that the lyrics are from the "Torero" (La Corrida Bull) point of view and what it thinks about this brutal game.
A total masterpiece 👌
You mean from the bull point of view...😉
A song against corrida.
Another song with the same subject "les toros" de Jacques Brel. " Les toros s'ennuient le dimanche quand il s'agit de mourir pour nous"
Nice day 🎼❤️🇫🇷
Très bon choix de cette magnifique chanson qui me donne autant d'émotions depuis 28 ans
I love SO this song ! Soothing music vs. heart-touching lyrics.
Hi Dereck, always good job ! Congrats ! From Francis Cabrel, you must try "la cabane du pêcheur", great song, with a little taste of Dire Strait !
And after that, you have to discover Henri Salvador, an old french crooner with latin influences, with an amazing and beautiful voice ! Unfortunatly gone now... And start with "Jardin d'hiver", you will enjoy
Le meilleur! il mérite une statue, un monument a son effigie pour l'ensemble de sa carrière et de son œuvre!
The best song of Francis Cabrel his C'est écrit ! ...but that one is good !
OMG love Francis Cabrel!!!
Love it
My favourite song from Cabrel 🎶
Ah je l'adore celle-là 👌❤️
Cabrel j'ai toujours bien aimé ❤️
This album is fantastic and especially this song
Octobre.... j adore ce texte
Thank you Dereck ! One of my favourite singer, one of my favourite song. After that I can close my subscription to your channel... No I am joking 😂😂 I still follow you for other songs of Balavoine, Cabrel, Goldman, Daho, Gold, Nino Ferrer, Claude François, Voulzy and so many others ! 😉
The corrida with the bull's point of view ! Francis Cabrel is coming from southwestern France, not so far from Spain. Corrida is popular in Spain and some cities in the south of France (Arles, Nîmes, Béziers, Dax, Mont-de-Marsan, Bayonne...)
Très belle chanson ! J’adoooooore l’accent du sud de Francis Cabrel !😘
Une très belle chanson bien triste .merci DR...
Extrait de son album "samedi soir sur la terre", 2eme album le plus vendu de tous les temps en France.
YESSSSSSSSSSSS 🙌🏻 Thank you Dereck!!!!
Cc Dereck tu as si dessous tous les commentaires et les paroles, oui c est Cabrel est un poète, c est un homme très simple, malgré sa grande notoriété il est resté dans son petit village de France, il n ai pas les grandes villes et son agitation, il compose ses chansons au milieux de la nature, il a créer dans son village un bâtiment pour que tous les artistes, les compositeurs, les musiciens, les interprètes échange leurs connaissances et travail afin de s enrichir, Cabrel c est du texte, il viens que très rarement à la capital Paris, il n aime les promos, les photos, bref seule son village l inspiré pour ses créations, il fait parti de la liste des personnalités préférés des français, c est un millionnaire, qui ne rêve pas de bateaux perso, ni d avion priver, ni du luxe des grands hôtels, ni de grandes et belles voitures ni de montre à 50 000€, une personne très simple
🙏
What I love about this song is that you are looking at the corrida from the perspective of the animal. We hear, smell, and feel through the bull who is experiencing the absurdity of a situation. It makes us think about the animal lack of understanding of the purpose of the corrida. That's genius. The music transports you through Andalousia.
I don't know if u have the translation or not, cause lyrics are very importants with FC, more than music wich is basic in general
Probably my favourite song by Cabrel. This song still sounds "fresh" because this butchery still is topical unfortunately. The melody is wicked but the lyrics are even more, so powerful/ spot on...singing this song from the bull's perspective was such a great idea, as it's exactly what it must be feeling from start to finish. I've always hated bullfighting and still cannot understand why such an appalling tradition carries on existing in some countries (including mine) and I'm proud that such a popular artist here in France had the courage at the time to openly express his disgust through music...Bravo Francis.
PS: Dereck, please react to his old hit "Encore et encore". ;)
You should definitely listen to "Il faudra leur dire". Cabrel used to sing this song with choir children.
Cabrel puts himself in the place of a bull entering in the arena of a corida. It is a song that denounces the practice of this tradition in the south of France and Spain.
My favourite Francis Cabrel song!!!!!
The full album is wondeerfull even the full discography of this guy is really great
Thank you Dereck.
Cabrel a fait tellement de chef d'œuvre, malheureusement depuis le soldat rose,je n'accroche plus.
One of my favorite song ever.
There is also the Berber Algerian Idir with an altogether another version of "La Corrida" with Francis Cabrel. You will be awestruck with its beauty and instrumentation.
Yes, you are right. He is so humble. I saw him in concert in July at Le Havre in Normandy, he was so clam, almost shy, so close to the public. He hates the star system. He is 67 and still lives in Astaffort, the small village where he grew up in the South West of France.
I was too little when I heard this song for the first time. I didn’t get the lyrics but loved the song. It was my favorite. It was only at 30 that I understood the lyrics.
As I've never been into bullfighting, I took years to understand the part about the torrero woman sleeping on "her" two ears (in french, its impossible to distinguished between her and his, when it's on plural form) I thought he was twisting the expression (sleeping on one's two ears meaning having a peaceful sleep) and saying she'll kinda be so much crying that she'll have to push the pillow against her ears to finally find sleep.
But then I discovered that in traditional bullfighting, the custody is to cut the ears and tail of the animal. And then this sentence took all its meaning, the bull here is saying she will sleep on HIS two ears.
This song is soooooo soothing.
