Jacques Brel is one of my favorite French singer . So sad that he passed away from lung cancer in 1978 at age of 49. He was voted for the best singer in Belgium and metro is after his name . His wife Miche died at age 93 in 2020 . Just heart wrenching voice still haunts me after he was gone for long time !! From California
Brel was not just a singer. He wrote all his songs, approx 100. And I am still searching a love song that ended well. Ne me quitte pas is no love song; it is desperate prayer.
His name is pronounced Zhock Brel . I never heard him called by any other names but his childhood nickname "Jacky." Ne me quitte pas is his most familiar song, adapted in English as "If you Go Away" by Rod McKuen. sung bu Nina Simone, Dusty Springfield and others.
Dont the black and red wed? I had to paused the video when it hit me in the face like a damn freight train. Thanks for reviewing my beautiful language.
« Let me become the shadow of your shadow, the shadow of your hand the shadow of your dog… » You must really be desperate to write this line…! We miss Brel a lot.

And then they poured a sugar sweet American sauce over it. Barbara Streisand sings it as well, a sweet love song.
fun fact:
It's the only time he sangs this song. After that he says a man should never fall down this far for a woman.
Amazing one
Thank you! Cheers!

They have translated it and ruined it from the first word : if you go away. There is no "if", it is unconditional: don't go away.
