Ne me quitte pas - French and English cover

Recommended Posts

Sacre Bleu! Sorry for the dodgy Aussie accent.Been a while since I've used my schoolboy French.Always wanted to do a Jacques Brel song in French.Managed a couple of verses anyway before the English.

Just put D'addario Nickel and Bronze on the J-45.I think Lars recommended.Really good from the get go.A couple of hours old on this recording.Love 'em.

Cheers

Only a fool may attempt to cover J. Brel... [thumbup]

Thx much for these 2 verses of french, was nice.

Because Brel songs are poetry, with lyrics that would make Nobel Dylan blush, i can't stand the translation in english, the meaning and feeling of the song is lost.

haha..Thanks Mafy-I think [biggrin] .I know French people don't think much of the English translations of JB's songs.

I think most songs suffer in translation.I'd like to learn a whole song in French but I need more time and patience.One day.
