Jacques Brel - Jef (live)

  • 0:10 - 0:16
    No, Jef, you are not alone, but stop crying like that in front of everyone
  • 0:16 - 0:22
    Because an oldish fake blonde has dumped you
  • 0:22 - 0:29
    No, Jef, you are not alone, but you embarrass me by sobbing like a fool in front of everyone
  • 0:29 - 0:34
    Because a three-quarters hooker left you
  • 0:34 - 0:39
    No, Jef, you are not alone, but it's a shame to look at you
  • 0:39 - 0:48
    People are making fun of us - let’s get the hell out of this sidewalk
  • 0:48 - 0:52
    So come, Jef, come, let's go
  • 0:52 - 0:59
    Let’s go, I have some dimes left, let's drink them at Mother Françoise's place
  • 0:59 - 1:09
    Let's go, I still have some dimes and if that’s not enough, they’ll still give me credit
  • 1:09 - 1:18
    We’ll eat mussels and fries,
    fries and mussels and the wine of Moselle
  • 1:18 - 1:26
    And if you are still sad we’ll see girls
    at Madame Andrée – there seem to be new ones
  • 1:26 - 1:33
    We’ll have fun the two of us, we'll sing as before
  • 1:33 - 1:38
    As when we were young
  • 1:38 - 1:42
    As at the time when...
  • 1:44 - 1:47
    I had money
  • 1:48 - 1:57
    No, Jef, you are not alone, but stop your grimaces, lift your one hundred kilos, move your ass
  • 1:58 - 2:03
    I know that you heart is aching, but you’ll have to get up, Jef
  • 2:03 - 2:08
    No, Jef, you are not alone, but stop sobbing, stop making a scene
  • 2:08 - 2:13
    Stop repeating that you will drown yourself, that you will hang yourself
  • 2:13 - 2:23
    No, Jef, you are not alone, but this is no more a sidewalk, this is becoming a cinema
  • 2:23 - 2:30

    Where people come to watch you
  • 2:30 - 2:34
    So, come, Jef, let's go
  • 2:36 - 2:45
    Let's go, I still have my guitar, I will set it on fire for you, we'll be Spaniards
  • 2:45 - 2:53
    Jef, as when we were kids - though I didn’t like that - you will imitate the nightingale
  • 2:53 - 2:57
    Then we’ll find a bench to sit on, we’ll talk about America
  • 2:57 - 3:01
    Where we’ll go to when we’ll have some money, Jef
  • 3:01 - 3:10
    And if you’ll still be sad, I will tell you how you’ll become Rockefeller
  • 3:10 - 3:17
    We’ll have fun we two, we’ll sing as before,
  • 3:17 - 3:23
    As when we were handsome, Jef,
  • 3:23 - 3:29
    At the time when...
  • 3:29 - 3:34
    ... when we were not drunkards
  • 3:34 - 3:38
    So come, Jef, come, let's go!
