Singers nowadays put millions of dollars on their music videos, but here we are with a close up, just you and Jacque, talking directly to your heart and staring at your soul. Money can't buy talent and purity.
This is a perfect example of the fact that it doesn't matter if you speak the language or not, if it is sung from the heart it reaches the listener. It is even more powerful when you can watch it being sung from the heart.

Talking to his side chick, the guy was married with 3 kids and a wife. Then the mistress got tired of empty promises of divorce, etc. Then the guy wrote that song
Do you know Charles Aznavour's Je n'ai rien oublié? That's possibly what made me fall in love with French music. My parents had the German version (also sung by CA in a really gorgeous accent) and I heard it often as a child. It's heartbreaking.
Scott Walker sings this beautifully but having heard this, the original I am blown away...............and I do not understand the French language................but you don't need to, do you? This to me is one of the most profound songs I have heard and it is quite painful to listen to as I am always on the verge of breaking down in tears when I hear it.................................
Not really, this is everything but a love song. He wrote it to show how miserable and desperate human can be because of love.. It was his way of showing the dark side of passionate love
@@lilolamae2602 he wrote only the title, not the lyrics (even they said so)...I heard an interview where he said - when this song was proposed to me I didn't want to sing it because I never begged love, I am not that guy
Extraordinaire, unique... Il ne chante pas, il vit ce qu'il supplie dans cette déchirante, désesperée prière à la femme qu'il aime pour qu'elle ne le quitte pas... Il nous donne une émotion si profonde que rien qu'un artiste immense tel qu'il était peut nous trasmettre...
I found this song, this exact same video when I was 16 years old (not even sure how, I just stumble onto this vid by accident) and even though I didn't understood the lyrics back then, I was amaze by how much emotion Jacques Brel pour into this song. So I decide to look for more songs of Jacques and I found "La Chanson Des Vieux Amants" and when I looked for both lyrics I realized they were heartbreaking, unforgettable and quite unique, and I thought "I hope I never feel this way in the future". Three years later I met the love of my life, with whom I've been in an Off and On relationship for so many years... I'll be 28 in a few weeks, and after all these years with her, I can said with some certainty, that I understand the true meaning of these songs, and it hurts. Cecy, if you ever read this, even though that we only hurt each other, I just wanted you to know, that I wish you happiness in your life. You'll always be the love of my life, and the reason why Jacques Brel means the world to me.
I'm a few months away of being 30 and I still comeback to this video every so often, with the exact same feeling described before. She has moved on and will probably be married with someone else within a year or so... And I know that I have to move on as well, but I'd love to create a cover for this song, not to send a message or anything else, just as a landmark of something, sorry, someone important in my life. And whoever is reading this, I wish you nothing but the best in your life, and hopefully you find a love that'll be healthy and nurture you into the best version of yourself.
It’s French language... this song is iconically beautiful and peaceful... he’s in high pain and full of happiness...I love this song ... thanks God I do speak and write French language... genuinely I’m so thankful and happy... I learned in my past.... ... well done song ...

@@mouhsineserbouti9935 thanks for your encouragement. I love this song, so I shared it to my Facebook. I will try to learn some portions of the song and maybe cover it along with the English version "If you go away".
@@louiecerezo1 well french is actually insanely hard, you cant learn it 100% if youre not raised in a french speaking household. I live in Belgium, born here, but i speak Flemish, even though i understand french, talking in french fluently is something else. And writing is...well rather not speak about it lol. Hope u can learn it though.
Il chante du bas fond de son cœur. Très très sentimental. Un grand homme. Un très très grand chanteur qui avait laissé toute une génération bouche bée. Rien à dire.
Essa música marcou uma época muito importante pra todos nós, com quase, ou mais de, 60 anos. No Brasil ouvimos essa maravilha inúmeras vezes com muito prazer e emoção.
Oui je suis parfaitement d’accord avec toi Jacques Brel est mon idole et pour moi il est le meilleur chanteur qu’à il faire des la bonne musique avec une voix suis douce et adorable
verdade... confesso que também fiquei com pena dele... 😕 Mas e a mulher para a qual ele está a cantar ou a dedicar-lhe a música? Será que ela se condoeu ou esteve-se nas tintas para o sofrimento dele como já aconteceu comigo e vejo de vez em quando a acontecer com outros? 🤔 Aliás, outra razão pela qual fiquei com pena dele é que ele está a sofrer por uma que se deve estar nas tintas para ele, ou pior, deve-se estar a deleitar-se com o sofrimento dele... Como já me aconteceu...
La plus belle chanson d'amour de tous les temps, il n'interprète pas, il ressent tout ce qu'il dit, une race en voie de disparition malheureusement. Je pleure à chaque fois que je le regarde et l.écoute, il me va droit au fond de mon âme.
Une des choses les plus belles et pleines d'intensité et de souffrence que je n'ai jamais vues et entendues! Un grand comme Brel n'a jamais plus existé...
Jacques said in his interview that he don't know what is an artist and talent .. Art and talent don't exist .. he said that the main purpose of life is making your dreams to become true and is what he worked hard for .. The talent is just working as hard as you can to make your dream become true .. Such an inspiring man .. Your song , your voice , your face and emotions really bring me to a different dimension ..Thank you Jacques and Rest in peace ..

My dad recently passed away. He introduced me to Brel and although my age group shouldn't find this particularly interesting, I was captured from the first moment I heard this man's voice. This song was one of, if not the favourite song of my father and hearing it reminds me of him. But moreso, seeing Brel's expressions in this video along with the memories and nostalgia, makes me cry every time. It brings out so much.
Why wouldn’t your “age group” find this interesting? Music transcends generations. Hence the reason why even the youngest children are transfixed by Bethoven, Bach, Wagner etc. never allow yourself to be limited by the events and music exclusive to your era.
I suppose that's true! I just don't know many people who would enjoy listening to this music now or even know who he is. I would love to be wrong though :)@@Olyphantman
Je l'écoute toujours en 2021depuis haïti. L' expression de son visage et la manière dont il dit " Ne me quitte pas " montre que ça sort au fond de lui.
@@jaimeenriquez6328 If you enjoy French songs, my favorite chansonnier is the late Charles Aznavour. Some others are Leo Ferre, Gilbert Becaud, and probably the best known and passionate- Edith Piaf. Enjoy! 🎶❤️
The moment when you accually watch someone die inside. So painful and yet so beutiful to listen to, and to watch. A master piece in so many ways. He hardly keept it together and was on the edge of breaking down more than once. Still pulled it through and made it the performance of all times.
Jacques Brel cries while singing and make us cry. This is one of the most beautiful songs ever with epic and beautiful lyrics and is desperate cry for a lost love. It i s beautiful, sensitive🌸 and timeless. He sang with all his heart.❤
Je dirai que Brel est un interprète audiovisuel. Heureux ceux qui ont eu la chance de le voir en live. Une école absolument unique qui nécessite au spectateur le fonctionnement de deux sens, l’ouïe et la vue.
This song and Lara Fabian's Je Suis Malade hit you straight in the heart, and your soul. You don't need to speak the language to feel the emotions these singers project and make you feel. No matter how many times, I have listened to both, I always find myself sobbing. Beautiful singers and songs.

very good translation. A few mistakes if I may? 1. "coming from my country " The real translation is "coming from countries". Also : 2. Je t'inventerai = I will invent for you. 3. Des mots insensés : Words that make no sense. 4. Rejaillir le feu = fire reborn. 5. Qu'on croyait trop vieux / that we thought was too old. 6. Il est paraît-il / There is, it seems. 7. Pour qu'un ciel flamboie / For a sky to get ablaze. 8. The red and the black needs to marry. Very sad beautiful difficult song to translate! But bravo!
depuis que j ai connu cette chanson , j ai 62 ans , je n arrive toujours a comprendre comment c est possible d avoir ecris et chanter ce truc de fou !!! et que c est que lui qui sais la chanter , a chaque fois j ai un frisson et des fois des larmes !! a chacune de mes ruptures
I know there's a magnificent story of a heartbreak behind this song. I can see it on his face, I can hear it in his voice. He was literally crying. The most wonderful song and interpretation ever.♥
Really? Somebody just told me it was a problem with his wife but your version seems the truth. Yes, a catharsis, indeed. Thank you. @@carolinafernandezperdomo639
I don't understand a word, though many have sung it - Shirley Bassey, Dusty Springfield etc., he is the only that presents it in a way that you can almost taste his despair - stunningly beautiful especially these days when we have had such life changes - music somehow pulls me through each day. Lover of the 60's music as that was my era. Thank you for the wonderful talented performers we had.
[English] Do not leave me now We must just forget Yes, we can forget All that’s flown beyond Let’s forget the time The misunderstands And the wasted time To find out how To forget these hours Which sometimes kill The blows of why, A heart full of joy. Do not leave me now Do not leave me now Do not leave me now Do not leave me now I offer you Pearls of rain Coming from the lands Where it never rains I will cross the world Till after my death To cover your bosom With gold and light I will make a kingdom where love will be king Where love will be the law Where you will be queen Do not leave me now Do not leave me now Do not leave me now Do not leave me now Do not leave me now, Will invent for you The insane words That you’ll understand And I will tell you Of these lovers who Were seen twice With their hearts in blaze I will say in detail The story of this king Dead, from having not Encountered you. Do not leave me now Do not leave me now Do not leave me now Do not leave me now One often recalls Flames light anew From an old volcano Thought to be too old. It appears that The scorched fields Can give more corn Than the best of springs. And when evening comes In this blazing sky The red and the night Marry nevermore. Do not leave me now Do not leave me now Do not leave me now Do not leave me now Do not leave me now I will cry no more I will talk no more Will hide somehow Just to look at you Dance and smile And to hear you Sing and then laugh Let me be for you The shadow of your shadow The shadow of your hand The shadow of your dog Do not leave me now Do not leave me now Do not leave me now Do not leave me now
Non mi stanco mai!! di ascoltare questo poeta, tormentato nella ricerca di amori nati, distrutti, inseguiti per tutta la vita.. Senza mai raggiungerli.. Come somuglia il tuo costume al mio.
This man has SOUL, my Haitian friends told me of him long ago and now that I have actually heard him, I can see I have only lived half my life. Such Tour De Force no wonder Juliette Greco admired and covered his songs!
Jacques Brel é mais que um cantor, é um artista. Além de cantar com perfeição, emociona. Simplesmente incrível essa interpretação. Palmas e mais palmas.
I look at his face, his eyes, his infatuation, his sorrow, his devotion, his desperation, for a woman, for love, for one moment, I think the French is the most civilized people, people like that live for love, not hate, not destruction, well it's a transient feeling. what's not transient is this is my fav french song, by far.
Without a doubt the most emotionally charged performance of this song by Jacques Brel ( or anyone for that matter ). It is the best I've ever heard. I love it.
Es ist so so wunderbar. Vielen lieben Dank für diesen Beitrag. Ich bin traurig und glücklich zugleich. Ich hoffe, daß andere Menschen auch Gefallen an diesem Video finden.
Thank you. Jacques completely shattered toxic masculinity in this song in my opinion. If you love someone, you're eager to forget any kind of diagram the society wants you to follow. Pride has nothing to do with love. Take care, greetings from France/ Basque country!
Pure genius!!! Il a la voix, la sensibilité, le ton, le son, bref la sonorisation sans omettre bien entendu ses qualités d'acteurs... C'est époustouflant cette chanson !
É impossível não chorar ao ouvir e ver esse vídeo, a música mais linda que conheço, a letra mais tocante... E mesmo que hj me doa na alma, agradeço a Deus pelo amor que vivi, pelo amor que tive, tão intenso, tão correspondido... criado por Deus na minha vida e na tua, Ricardo, meu doce amor, distante de mim... que já não me quer mais...
Você sabia que a namorada dele na época ficou gravida, e ele a obrigou a tirar a criança; Daí ela o deixou e ele verdadeiramente abalado por ter sido deixado, fez essa canção......Brel era uma pessoa difícil de conviver, mas ele tinha alma de boheme, (vagabundo não seria a tradução exato. seria? ?). Mas isso fez dele u, grande artista.
Essa música me lembra os anos 50/60:e 70... quando ouvia muitos cantores interpretando essa poesia cantada com o coração na mão de tanta emoção...realmente um Hino teatral Francês que Jaques Brel nós presenteia com esse Vídeo Emocionante 😍🙏👏
The most beautiful and pro song in history of French language...he sang it with lot of loves and peaceful passion ... literally you can see it in his face ... sad and happy the same time well done ... Genuinely I’m a person can speak and write French language...
My father was a French teacher and he used to play this song for his students for 34years of teaching career in a small village in Morocco now I’m missing him and this song reminds me of him❤

Paroles: Ne me quitte pas
Il faut oublier
Tout peut s'oublier
Qui s'enfuit déjà
Oublier le temps
Des malentendus
Et le temps perdu
À savoir comment
Oublier ces heures
Qui tuaient parfois
À coups de pourquoi
Le cœur du bonheur
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
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
Ne me quitte pas
Je t'inventerai
Des mots insensés
Que tu comprendras
Je te parlerai
De ces amants-là
Qui ont vu deux fois
Leurs cœurs s'embraser
Je te raconterai
L'histoire de ce roi
Mort de n'avoir pas
Pu te rencontrer
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
On a vu souvent
Rejaillir le feu
De l'ancien volcan
Qu'on croyait trop vieux
Il est, paraît-il
Des terres brûlées
Donnant plus de blé
Qu'un meilleur avril
Et quand vient le soir
Pour qu'un ciel flamboie
Le rouge et le noir
Ne s'épousent-ils pas?
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Je ne vais plus pleurer
Je ne vais plus parler
Je me cacherai là
À te regarder
Danser et sourire
Et à t'écouter
Chanter et puis rire
Laisse-moi devenir
L'ombre de ton ombre
L'ombre de ta main
L'ombre de ton chien
Mais
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Beau texted me

This is not a song, this is art. He is not acting, he is not singing, he is crying through music.... ❤❤❤
So you wont to say , song is not art?
Bravo tt a fait vrai . Merci
he is the music
Brel is the song - he inhabits his words like no one else has ever done
His performance is like a great actor begging his lover to stay.
Sa seule erreur, c'était de dépasser son temps et son époque ,rare sont ceux qui ont compris son message.
Pls NEVER delete this video! It’s such a masterpiece of human desperation and love
As you flip us off, or at least you tube. Lol.
I can't believe this is practically the first video on youtube

Une des plus belles chansons d'amour de tout les temps jacques était un vrai poète
He sings this with so much passion, not many things you see anymore I give him all props
he is so bad i drank myself
i hope it had the desired effect.
Envis and if you understood French, it's even better, he is my favourite singer and of course Edith Piaf!
No idea what he is singing but I feel his passion for the craft.
I come back to this song every so often to feel alive
Listen to Scott Walker's 'If you go away' to understand the lyrics a little bit better. But, of course, Jacques' version is the best.
He's begging to don't be leaved by his beloved, gradually descending on a spiral of humiliating remarks. With unmatched poetry.
Listen to Streisand's. Once you know the words, tears...
Talking to his side chick, the guy was married with 3 kids and a wife. Then the mistress got tired of empty promises of divorce, etc. Then the guy wrote that song
This song is one if the reasons I started classes for French language in the age of 61
you learnt?? how r u doing?
Bonne chance !
Do you know Charles Aznavour's Je n'ai rien oublié? That's possibly what made me fall in love with French music. My parents had the German version (also sung by CA in a really gorgeous accent) and I heard it often as a child. It's heartbreaking.
Congratulations you're wright French is a beututifull language
As well as why I studied French at our University and became professor...
Scott Walker sings this beautifully but having heard this, the original I am blown away...............and I do not understand the French language................but you don't need to, do you? This to me is one of the most profound songs I have heard and it is quite painful to listen to as I am always on the verge of breaking down in tears when I hear it.................................
ESTA ES LA SEGUNDA O LA MEJOR CANCIÓN DE TODOS LOS TIEMPOS, NO RECUERDO BIEN.
In my humble opinion, Jacques Brel sang with more passion than almost any singer. He truly was at a lonely height.
Нина Симон
He was a poet not just a singer. He exposed with this song his most intimate feelings. A precious gem.

One of the best songs ever. One of the best artists ever. You can actually feel Brel's pain. Every word comes straight from his heart.
I found this song, this exact same video when I was 16 years old (not even sure how, I just stumble onto this vid by accident) and even though I didn't understood the lyrics back then, I was amaze by how much emotion Jacques Brel pour into this song.
So I decide to look for more songs of Jacques and I found "La Chanson Des Vieux Amants" and when I looked for both lyrics I realized they were heartbreaking, unforgettable and quite unique, and I thought "I hope I never feel this way in the future".
Three years later I met the love of my life, with whom I've been in an Off and On relationship for so many years... I'll be 28 in a few weeks, and after all these years with her, I can said with some certainty, that I understand the true meaning of these songs, and it hurts.
Cecy, if you ever read this, even though that we only hurt each other, I just wanted you to know, that I wish you happiness in your life. You'll always be the love of my life, and the reason why Jacques Brel means the world to me.
❤️😪
I hope Cecy read this, and I hope she realized how much she is loved by you.......
😢lute por ela.
I'm a few months away of being 30 and I still comeback to this video every so often, with the exact same feeling described before.
She has moved on and will probably be married with someone else within a year or so... And I know that I have to move on as well, but I'd love to create a cover for this song, not to send a message or anything else, just as a landmark of something, sorry, someone important in my life.
And whoever is reading this, I wish you nothing but the best in your life, and hopefully you find a love that'll be healthy and nurture you into the best version of yourself.
C'é una sola parola per esprimere quest'ipnosi Brail che ci rapirá sempre tutti al di là della lingua:genio puro.
Thank you Belgium 🇧🇪 for this masterpiece.
I do not know this language, but I understand everything that he sings.
These are true feelings, full of sincerity, it is simply amazing ...
It’s French language... this song is iconically beautiful and peaceful... he’s in high pain and full of happiness...I love this song ... thanks God I do speak and write French language... genuinely I’m so thankful and happy... I learned in my past.... ... well done song ...
@@mouhsineserbouti9935 I envy you, that language sounds cool, I wish I could learn it.
@@louiecerezo1 literally it’s french language and cool tunes too ... not easy or fast to learning I ... but if you’re putting a good effort and energy ... trust me you can getting it
@@mouhsineserbouti9935 thanks for your encouragement. I love this song, so I shared it to my Facebook. I will try to learn some portions of the song and maybe cover it along with the English version "If you go away".
@@louiecerezo1 well french is actually insanely hard, you cant learn it 100% if youre not raised in a french speaking household. I live in Belgium, born here, but i speak Flemish, even though i understand french, talking in french fluently is something else. And writing is...well rather not speak about it lol. Hope u can learn it though.
Il chante du bas fond de son cœur.
Très très sentimental.
Un grand homme.
Un très très grand chanteur qui avait laissé toute une génération bouche bée.
Rien à dire.
J'ai découvert Brel quand j'étais ado. Now, je suis senior, figurez-vous, il remue toujours en moi les émotions enflammées d'antan.
محلاها كلامك
Now
Moi aussi
Moi de même.
Yes the emotions are beautifully displayed and ever changing...
Essa música marcou uma época muito importante pra todos nós, com quase, ou mais de, 60 anos. No Brasil ouvimos essa maravilha inúmeras vezes com muito prazer e emoção.

Heart-wrenching, especially as he smiles sadly while repeating: "don't leave me."
he is bad
Pourquoi t'es cooooon, arreeete.
Sammie you what time it is. It's bedtime. Of you go
va te faire foutre, imbecile!!!!!
his lyrics are great they are others like : "let me become the shadow of your shadow, the shadow of your hand, the shadow of your dog..."
عندما سمعت هاته الاغنية لاول مرة ....احببت اللغة الفرنسية و قررت معرفة و تعلم المزيد ❤❤❤
One of the best performances I have ever seen.
just look at him, today this kind of singing is not only dead, is not even remembered RIP
As long as at least one remembers, there's still hope.
10 million views, there's still hope for humanity.
Breaks my heart, his broken words, his sweating face, no need of traslation, so intensely communicative.
Jacques Brel chora a cantar e faz-nos chorar. Este tema é um grito desesperado a um amor perdido. Belíssimo e intemporal .
🥺💔
Coisa maravilhosa!
Impossível não chorar!
você está muito correto
verdade... confesso que também fiquei com pena dele... 😕
Mas e a mulher para a qual ele está a cantar ou a dedicar-lhe a música? Será que ela se condoeu ou esteve-se nas tintas para o sofrimento dele como já aconteceu comigo e vejo de vez em quando a acontecer com outros? 🤔
Aliás, outra razão pela qual fiquei com pena dele é que ele está a sofrer por uma que se deve estar nas tintas para ele, ou pior, deve-se estar a deleitar-se com o sofrimento dele... Como já me aconteceu...
Maravilloso.
La plus belle chanson d'amour de tous les temps, il n'interprète pas, il ressent tout ce qu'il dit, une race en voie de disparition malheureusement. Je pleure à chaque fois que je le regarde et l.écoute, il me va droit au fond de mon âme.
Serge Mingus oui totalement au fond de notre coin du coeur le plus secret et fragile
Serge Mingus
Serge Mingus ....
more than i can say
Serge Mingus ❤️❤️
Serge Mingus I felt the same in Paris with this song that I sang to my love ( the only one that I really loved but we could not stay together) .
One of the truly great songs (music + LYRICS) of the 20th century... and I'm not even a fan of French/Belgian music. Absolutely brilliant.
Tu es toujours vivant !!! Quel plaisir de t écouter encore et encore..
One of the most beautiful songs ever with epic lyrics. Jacques Brel's emotions and the way he sings this song are inimitable
He lives every word. He is the true artist, the miracle of feeling expressed in song. Brilliant! Brilliant!
Check out Scott Walker' s version in English.
Agree
Vive cada palavra, porque a canção é pessoal.
Une des choses les plus belles et pleines d'intensité et de souffrence que je n'ai jamais vues et entendues! Un grand comme Brel n'a jamais plus existé...
Jacques said in his interview that he don't know what is an artist and talent .. Art and talent don't exist .. he said that the main purpose of life is making your dreams to become true and is what he worked hard for .. The talent is just working as hard as you can to make your dream become true .. Such an inspiring man .. Your song , your voice , your face and emotions really bring me to a different dimension ..Thank you Jacques and Rest in peace ..

Un des rares a avoir touché le génie. Un grand, un eternel.
My dad recently passed away. He introduced me to Brel and although my age group shouldn't find this particularly interesting, I was captured from the first moment I heard this man's voice. This song was one of, if not the favourite song of my father and hearing it reminds me of him. But moreso, seeing Brel's expressions in this video along with the memories and nostalgia, makes me cry every time. It brings out so much.
🥺
The gift of your Name by your Papa Tru Brell💗🙏ua-cam.com/video/cfd0AweIslM/v-deo.html🙏💗

Why wouldn’t your “age group” find this interesting? Music transcends generations. Hence the reason why even the youngest children are transfixed by Bethoven, Bach, Wagner etc.
never allow yourself to be limited by the events and music exclusive to your era.
I suppose that's true! I just don't know many people who would enjoy listening to this music now or even know who he is. I would love to be wrong though :)@@Olyphantman
One of the best song I’ve ever heard. He sang with all his heart. Such a great song❤
What a great man.....Thank you for all the music and inspiration
Every time I listen to him, I got chills and think that my heart is going to stop. AWESOME. RIP. Jacques Brel.
Il est un poète.
Jacques Brel, he isn't singing a song. He sings emotions
so so true
emotional wreck
I think I being playing this song over 30 times hahaha I am gonna have a date tomorrow and he is inspiring me to fall in love. ❤️
I promise I wouldn’t NEVER leave you... Eu ia te amar de todas as formas que brasileira sabe. OMG!
Je l'écoute toujours en 2021depuis haïti. L' expression de son visage et la manière dont il dit " Ne me quitte pas " montre que ça sort au fond de lui.
Je l'ecoute depuis haïti aussi quand un Garçon dit ne le quitte pas avec cette visage c'est reel
Moi aussi je l écoute depuis Haïti.. décembre 2021
Moi aussi je l écoute depuis Haïti 🇭🇹 Mai 2024.

Many, myself included, considered this one of the greatest love songs ever. He bares his soul, his anguish is real, and the poetry is haunting.
Could you tell me other love songs?

@@jaimeenriquez6328 If you enjoy French songs, my favorite chansonnier is the late Charles Aznavour. Some others are Leo Ferre, Gilbert Becaud, and probably the best known and passionate- Edith Piaf. Enjoy! 🎶❤️
Es una oración, una promesa y un ruego al mismo tiempo. Una interpretación magistral!
L'âme et les nerfs ouverts ... la douceur d'enfant et la bravoure de l'homme ... mes genoux sont baissés tandis que le cœur est levé!
Tu resteras à jamais au panthéon de la chanson. Merci.
The moment when you accually watch someone die inside. So painful and yet so beutiful to listen to, and to watch. A master piece in so many ways. He hardly keept it together and was on the edge of breaking down more than once. Still pulled it through and made it the performance of all times.
You do know he was acting right, and performed it this way at every live performance? You are not too smart.

Essa interpretação deveria ter concorrido ao Oscar de melhor filme de curta metragem, tão emocionante a interpretação
Melhor interpretação da música Né me quites pas! Jaques Brel! Inigualável!
Jacques Brel cries while singing and make us cry. This is one of the most beautiful songs ever with epic and beautiful lyrics and is desperate cry for a lost love. It i s beautiful, sensitive🌸 and timeless. He sang with all his heart.❤
Je dirai que Brel est un interprète audiovisuel. Heureux ceux qui ont eu la chance de le voir en live. Une école absolument unique qui nécessite au spectateur le fonctionnement de deux sens, l’ouïe et la vue.
Belgium's greatest export. Still miss you Jacques even after all these years!
Unfortunately, I don’t understand French but every time I hear this amazing, beautiful language, I realize how adorable it sounds. Simply beautiful.
Merci Infiniment d'apprecier Notre Belle Langue Française
this has to be the best recording of this song ever. the piano in this one is simply enthralling!
This is not a song. This is the LIFE!
Great singer and actor. I can feel his pain so vividly

The best version. The original.

Always the original versión is the best.
Do you know if this version is available on CD or DVD?
Clayton Doyle Yes, this version is from his Adieux a l'Olympia ( his farewell tour ), and you can get the DVD on Amazon.
pikekeke Thank you very much. I might treat myself to the DVD for my birthday (which is in about a month).
This song and Lara Fabian's Je Suis Malade hit you straight in the heart, and your soul. You don't need to speak the language to feel the emotions these singers project and make you feel. No matter how many times, I have listened to both, I always find myself sobbing. Beautiful singers and songs.
Je suis malade is from Serge Lama....very good also...

Pour qu'un ciel flamboie / For a sky to get ablaze. 8. The red and the black needs to marry. Very sad beautiful difficult song to translate! But bravo!

I know there's a magnificent story of a heartbreak behind this song. I can see it on his face, I can hear it in his voice. He was literally crying. The most wonderful song and interpretation ever.♥
Yes, there is a heartbreak behind this song. His wife left him.
Actually he left his mistress (Zizou) when he knew she was pregnant. This song it's a self-punishment, a catharsis.
Really? Somebody just told me it was a problem with his wife but your version seems the truth. Yes, a catharsis, indeed. Thank you. @@carolinafernandezperdomo639
@@amagnifica You're welcome :)
Well, a husband cheating on his wife is usually a problem. "Tout peut s'oublier"... and the result is a beautiful song.
He left his own wife and three kids. I don't know why he's singing "don't leave me" etc to be honest
What a performance ! It breaks through the language barrier.
Quelle performance ! Elle dépasse la barrière des langues.
I don't understand a word, though many have sung it - Shirley Bassey, Dusty Springfield etc., he is the only that presents it in a way that you can almost taste his despair - stunningly beautiful especially these days when we have had such life changes - music somehow pulls me through each day. Lover of the 60's music as that was my era. Thank you for the wonderful talented performers we had.
Who can, nowadays, write such an unforgettable, unique song...

Do not leave me now
We must just forget
Yes, we can forget
All that’s flown beyond
Let’s forget the time
The misunderstands
And the wasted time
To find out how
To forget these hours
Which sometimes kill
The blows of why,
A heart full of joy.
Do not leave me now
Do not leave me now
Do not leave me now
Do not leave me now
I offer you
Pearls of rain
Coming from the lands
Where it never rains
I will cross the world
Till after my death
To cover your bosom
With gold and light
I will make a kingdom
where love will be king
Where love will be the law
Where you will be queen
Do not leave me now
Do not leave me now
Do not leave me now
Do not leave me now
Do not leave me now,
Will invent for you
The insane words
That you’ll understand
And I will tell you
Of these lovers who
Were seen twice
With their hearts in blaze
I will say in detail
The story of this king
Dead, from having not
Encountered you.
Do not leave me now
Do not leave me now
Do not leave me now
Do not leave me now
One often recalls
Flames light anew
From an old volcano
Thought to be too old.
It appears that
The scorched fields
Can give more corn
Than the best of springs.
And when evening comes
In this blazing sky
The red and the night
Marry nevermore.
Do not leave me now
Do not leave me now
Do not leave me now
Do not leave me now
Do not leave me now
I will cry no more
I will talk no more
Will hide somehow
Just to look at you
Dance and smile
And to hear you
Sing and then laugh
Let me be for you
The shadow of your shadow
The shadow of your hand
The shadow of your dog
Do not leave me now
Do not leave me now
Do not leave me now
Do not leave me now
WOW Thank you for the lyrics in English
Sincerely Appreciated
Merci

Ele canta tão visceralmente, que depois de ouvir a canção, só quero saber se ele ficou bem 🥺! Que interpretação meus amigos 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Só que já viveu essa letra sabe o que ele está sentindo. A dor em forma de arte magnífica.

This man has SOUL, my Haitian friends told me of him long ago and now that I have actually heard him, I can see I have only lived half my life. Such Tour De Force no wonder Juliette Greco admired and covered his songs!
La chanson sonne si belle en français - elle pénètre l'âme et le coeur - Jacques Berl est un immense chanteur 👍
On ne verra plus un chanteur comme lui.

Jacques Brel é mais que um cantor, é um artista. Além de cantar com perfeição, emociona. Simplesmente incrível essa interpretação. Palmas e mais palmas.
Il est génial et formidable. La chanson et lui ensemble sont la plus belle peinture qui touche mon cœur.
Thanks for the votes up. It seemed appropriate to try and post a french comment to this wonderfully dynamic performance..
L' amour est trop dangerouse
*dangereux because amour is masculine.
Parce que ce que vous appelez "amour" n'est rien d'autre qu'un désir, pas de l'amour. L'amour, c'est la paix. Quel est votre choix ?
Sair por ums hora e meia. Ouço depois.
C’est vrai
I dont understand,but u are right...
I look at his face, his eyes, his infatuation, his sorrow, his devotion, his desperation, for a woman, for love, for one moment, I think the French is the most civilized people, people like that live for love, not hate, not destruction, well it's a transient feeling.
what's not transient is this is my fav french song, by far.

Without a doubt the most emotionally charged performance of this song by Jacques Brel ( or anyone for that matter ). It is the best I've ever heard. I love it.
Es ist so so wunderbar. Vielen lieben Dank für diesen Beitrag. Ich bin traurig und glücklich zugleich. Ich hoffe, daß andere Menschen auch Gefallen an diesem Video finden.
Ich auch!
I do not understand a words what he's singing but it's just reach my heart.
Greeting from Malaysia.
Please, don't leave me... (Ne me quitte pas)
Thank you. Jacques completely shattered toxic masculinity in this song in my opinion. If you love someone, you're eager to forget any kind of diagram the society wants you to follow. Pride has nothing to do with love. Take care, greetings from France/ Basque country!
I don't understand french, but I cannot listen to this song without crying. And every time I listen to it I cry again.
Pure genius!!! Il a la voix, la sensibilité, le ton, le son, bref la sonorisation sans omettre bien entendu ses qualités d'acteurs... C'est époustouflant cette chanson !
This is what real art is all about.Thank you Mr Brel!
Even without my two years of high school French this is so moving but more so because of them. Timeless wonderful and will leave me "never".
Quanto talento e humildade!Maravilhoso!!!
I dont understand French but the emotions on his face shaked my heart and I am crying God dang it
Never has a composer succeeded so perfectly in blending the melody and the lyrics as in this song!
É impossível não chorar ao ouvir e ver esse vídeo, a música mais linda que conheço, a letra mais tocante... E mesmo que hj me doa na alma, agradeço a Deus pelo amor que vivi, pelo amor que tive, tão intenso, tão correspondido... criado por Deus na minha vida e na tua, Ricardo, meu doce amor, distante de mim... que já não me quer mais...
É a vida. Seja feliz!❤️
O amor é eterno!
Só se manifesta agora de uma outra forma!🙏🏻
Já superou?
Você sabia que a namorada dele na época ficou gravida, e ele a obrigou a tirar a criança; Daí ela o deixou e ele verdadeiramente abalado por ter sido deixado, fez essa canção......Brel era uma pessoa difícil de conviver, mas ele tinha alma de boheme, (vagabundo não seria a tradução exato. seria? ?). Mas isso fez dele u, grande artista.
@@joryrockas1446 ele era casado e a mulher que o abandonou!’

Essa música me lembra os anos 50/60:e 70... quando ouvia muitos cantores interpretando essa poesia cantada com o coração na mão de tanta emoção...realmente um Hino teatral Francês que Jaques Brel nós presenteia com esse Vídeo
Emocionante 😍🙏👏
Best love song ever!! Thank you Monsieur Brel!! Jacques Brel!! Merci à vous!!
The most beautiful and pro song in history of French language...he sang it with lot of loves and peaceful passion ... literally you can see it in his face ... sad and happy the same time well done ... Genuinely I’m a person can speak and write French language...
Jacques Brel was a Belgian artist,he also performed in Flemish language ! :)
A maior interpretação que já assisti de uma canção , um aperto no coração que chega a doer na alma ... simplesmente sublime .
