The first time I heard Judy sing Marieke was in the summer of 1971 off her album *"Whales and Nightingales". I did not know the English translation but the Dutch/French and lilting voice of Judy blew me away. Now that I am 71 (and Judy is 84), I hear this melody and lyrics and it leaves me in tears. Judy and her legacy of songs is one of the female vocalists, that leaves at a loss as there are so many favorites she sung. The day she leaves this earth will be a great day of mourning for me.
Wonderful Judy ! Great thanks ! This second version of this song by Judy was recorded on her excellent and very rare LP (CD later) "Running for my Life".
For those with complaints as to this particular version It was the album," Whales and Nightingales" that truly got my attention with its release in 1969."Farewell to Tawaithe","Time Passes Slowly","Marike".It is a very good album,perhaps like the lovers lament I would listen to this whole album time and time again.It possessed a quality that I believe was a shared event with Judy Collins sounding very good to perhaps beautiful.It is a highly cared for album and worth a recommendation even today.
Yes, really great ! And Judy recorded it twice. Here we do have a live interpretation in the spirit of the second recording ( Running for my life Album). So wonderful, indeed ! Great thanks !
Judy collins is judy collins... this continued my introduction to ""World Music" and brings me the comfort of the nostalgic recall from her "Whales and Nightingales" album
Judy Collins takes it away - as usual! This is a haunting tune - the music is gorgeous. This makes me lonely for - and miss terribly- my late great freind Betty Rhodes who sang this like no other - chanteuse extrodinaire. Betty Rhodes bade us farwell in 1988 and left many song in our hearts.
@leoantonio11 Hi again. Thanks so much for your language history. I never knew that and now I do feel more educated about our european relatives. BTW Judy Collins is great too even though her dutch and french are not. Cheers,Peter
@jerrybabe1 dans le cas là... vous avez tout à fait raison. Ich will Ihnen nur sagen, dass das schon stimmt, wenn man es so betrachtet. Danke für den Kommentar.
At least, she tried in another language than english, even if it is my belief that no one else can sing any Jacques Brel's song with Brel's heart. Il n'y a que Brel pour chanter Brel... mais au moins Madame Collins s'est risquée en français et en flamand. Donnons lui ce mérite.
@sergepar : « Heel » misschien nee ?? Its easy to criticizeI find her performance very beautiful . Her accent, not important in that case. Et comme vous le voyez, je ne raconte pas nimporte quoi. Have a good day.
@kenmackie Il ne faut pas que je sois parfait en anglais. Mais moi je chanterais jamais dans une langue qui n'est pas la mienne. Et maintenant c'est à toi de m'écrire en français.
@sergefalck Vous êtes un peu dûr... Aznavour chante en anglais, avec un accent, bien sur, et nous trouvons cela bien, même charmant... Je suis anglophone et je déteste l'accent anglais en français, même le mien, mais c'est de la richesse culturelle que les gens comme Judy Collins chantent en français et qu'Aznavour puisse chanter en anglais...
Ja mate, zij heeft dezelfde gedaan met Marieke als Terry Jacks heeft met de Engelsche vertaling van 'Le Moribond' gedaan, 'Seasons in the Son' Luister aan de versie van Rod Mckuen. Hij heeft alle Engelsche vertalen van Brel's liedjes geschreven!
Brel expressed his art in French, France offered him everything, he wished to be buried there, so what would be wrong with believing that he was French?
I didn't like this one-half as well as the one on the Whales & Nightingales album. (Plus her pronunciation is better on the album, IMO). Why hasn't someone posted that one?
@thanasse Cher ami belge. Ik heb niet gezegd dat Nederlands een slecht Duits is. Ik heb enkel gezegd dat het gelijk een schlecht Duits KLINGT. Si tu veux je peux continuer an français. Und ich kann dir auch auf Deutsch schreiben, wenn dir das noch lieber sein sollte. Ik ben een Belg en een Oostenrijker. Je suis les deux et j'en suis fier. Ik vind het gewoon verschrikkelijk als Mevrouw Collins probeert nederlands of frans te zingen. Even verschrikkelijk als ik in het japans zou klingen ;-)
Judy Collins version is overly sentimental. It does not convey the longing Brel expressed in this song. As a Dutch native, I find the Dutch pronounciation in this song laughable.
@kenmackie I'm only commenting on someone who is performing on stage. I would not comment, if it would be a totally normal person from the street, who tries to speak french. But as an artist, Judy Collins should know what she can do und what she shouldn't. Knowing french and dutch... ti just sounds horrible. Sorry.

I named my dauughter after hearing this beautiful song in concert while I was pregnant.
Wonderful. You sing with passion. Remembering true passiion to life throug you. You´re lovely!
Magnifique interprétation
Absolutely superb performance. Speachless.
Her performance is breath taking.
i have been named by this song.
Smile, i love this song
How lucky you are!
Me too
@@mononymousmouse Howard nice! You are the 1rst person i know of besides me. Are you Dutch or Belgium?
I have the same name too but it’s not because of this song. Cool song tho!!
Wonderful Judy ! Great thanks ! This second version of this song by Judy was recorded on her excellent and very rare LP (CD later) "Running for my Life".
Merveilleuse

wonderful !
This is the only English language artist who does it right, never mind the accent. She sings it with the right emotions.
Yes, really great ! And Judy recorded it twice. Here we do have a live interpretation in the spirit of the second recording ( Running for my life Album). So wonderful, indeed !
Great thanks !
belle reprise, bel effort de flamand ^^
I don't know about the languages, but this interpretation is very different from the studio recording - more colorful and intense. Very fine.
Judy collins is judy collins... this continued my introduction to ""World Music" and brings me the comfort of the nostalgic recall from her "Whales and Nightingales" album
Absolute CHILLS
ABSOLUTELY SUBLIME!!!!ONLY JUDY COLLINS
Judy Collins takes it away - as usual! This is a haunting tune - the music is gorgeous. This makes me lonely for - and miss terribly- my late great freind Betty Rhodes who sang this like no other - chanteuse extrodinaire. Betty Rhodes bade us farwell in 1988 and left many song in our hearts.
Des frissons à chaque fois que ce chef d’œuvre s'ouvre à moi ! Non Jacques, tu n'es pas mort ... Très jolie reprise
I suppose the accent critics would prefer Jacques Brel croaking this to an ethereal voice from an incredibly beautiful woman.
Judy is amazing
Totally agree Mark!
superbe
❤😂Gent and Brugge❤😂🎉😂😂 pleure Avec MOM. R.I.P....mon Amou ARVID...je pleure

Ich will Ihnen nur sagen, dass das schon stimmt, wenn man es so betrachtet. Danke für den Kommentar.
😪
A beautiful voice but she misses the emotion of Elly Stone or Brel himself.
No one can equal the emotion of Jacques Brel. Seeing him perform Ne Me Quitte Pas is the most emotional performance that I think I have ever seen.
@sergefalck I know you don't speak perfect english but don't comment on someone else's english ,and I'm impressed that you can speak French
Personally, I prefer Ely Stone's version. However she nailed it in Sons of...
I agree
I love Elly Stone's version as well... even better than Brel performing it!
@@leahjordana9177 nonsense. Noone sings Brel better than Brel.
At least, she tried in another language than english, even if it is my belief that no one else can sing any Jacques Brel's song with Brel's heart.
Il n'y a que Brel pour chanter Brel... mais au moins Madame Collins s'est risquée en français et en flamand. Donnons lui ce mérite.
@leoantonio11 I think it's Flemish, not Dutch. They are very similar,no?
strafrag1 the difference is like english spoken in england and american english
she sounds like shes saying my name :D
The devil, the black devil laughs. I love this line but i am very dismissing of any idea in contrary to BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL

Least ways, to all those who thought her French was bad, it's better than it was in the late 60's early 70's when she first recorded it.
2:03 😂😂😂😂😂 coulour des tours
Sinon bone reprise

There should be a law against other singers covering (murdering) Brel songs!
FUCK YOU
@C6H12B26
ze zingt slecht , deze liedje ist naarbij me hart en ik dach ze heeft dit gemoor
Ja mate, zij heeft dezelfde gedaan met Marieke als Terry Jacks heeft met de Engelsche vertaling van 'Le Moribond' gedaan, 'Seasons in the Son' Luister aan de versie van Rod Mckuen. Hij heeft alle Engelsche vertalen van Brel's liedjes geschreven!
Abysmal.
Also: Brel wasn't Dutch or French. He was Belgian. So stop this silliness, please, thanks, TA VERY MUCH
Who said that Brel was Dutch or French?
I wish I could rape a song SHE really likes like that
Brel expressed his art in French, France offered him everything, he wished to be buried there, so what would be wrong with believing that he was French?
Exactly like Hercule Poirot: "No, no, monsieur, I am
NOT French...I am BELGIAN!"
I didn't like this one-half as well as the one on the Whales & Nightingales album. (Plus her pronunciation is better on the album, IMO). Why hasn't someone posted that one?
Nice try and not really bad, but so much different in the rythm of the song, that I finally decided still not to like it, compared to Brel.
No. It doesn't work for me. Far better versions out there.
YOU ARE A LOSER MORON!!
If Glee covers this, it'll be worse...
ui.... ui... ui...
stay in your own language... the dutch sounds like a bad german.
In that case, I allow myself singing in japanese
Your comment regarding the Dutch language is very stupid. Personally I think Dutch is a very beautiful language indeed.
@thanasse
Cher ami belge. Ik heb niet gezegd dat Nederlands een slecht Duits is.
Ik heb enkel gezegd dat het gelijk een schlecht Duits KLINGT.
Si tu veux je peux continuer an français. Und ich kann dir auch auf Deutsch schreiben, wenn dir das noch lieber sein sollte. Ik ben een Belg en een Oostenrijker. Je suis les deux et j'en suis fier.
Ik vind het gewoon verschrikkelijk als Mevrouw Collins probeert nederlands of frans te zingen. Even verschrikkelijk als ik in het japans zou klingen ;-)

IDIOT IDIOTA MORON
@sergefalck I notice that you speak perfect English!! stay in your own language
ag nee regtig ek praat Afrikaans en dit klink sommer kak.
@kenmackie
I'm only commenting on someone who is performing on stage. I would not comment, if it would be a totally normal person from the street, who tries to speak french. But as an artist, Judy Collins should know what she can do und what she shouldn't.
Knowing french and dutch... ti just sounds horrible. Sorry.
