Paroles et musique : Jacques Brel
1Sur la place chauffe au soleil
Une fille s'est mise danse
Elle tourne toujours pareille
Aux danseuses d'antiquits
Sur la ville il fait trop chaud
Hommes et femmes sont assoupis
Et regardent par le carreau
Cette fille qui danse midi
RAinsi certains jours parat
Une flamme nos yeux
l'glise o j'allais
On l'appelait le Bon Dieu
L'amoureux l'appelle l'amour
Le mendiant la charit
Le soleil l'appelle le jour
Et le brave homme la bont.
2Sur la place vibrante d'air chaud
O pas mme ne parat un chien
Ondulante comme un roseau
La fill' bondit, s'en va, s'en vient
Ni guitare, ni tambourin
Pour accompagner sa danse
Elle frappe dans ses mains
Pour se donner la cadence
3Sur la place o tout est tranquille
Une fille s'est mise chanter
Et son chant plane sur la ville
Hymne d'amour et de bont
Mais sur la ville il fait trop chaud
Et pour ne point entendre son chant
Les hommes ferment leurs carreaux
Comme une porte entre morts et vivants
RAinsi certains jours parat
Une flamme en nos coeurs
Mais nous ne voulons jamais
Laisser luire sa lueur
Nous nous bouchons les oreilles
Et nous nous voilons les yeux
Nous n'aimons point les rveils
De notre coeur dj vieux.
Sur la place un chien hurle encore
Car la fille s'en est alle
Et comme le chien hurlant la mort
Pleurent les hommes leurs destines
Jacques Romain Georges Brel (Schaerbeek, April 8, 1929 – Los Angeles, October 9, 1978) was a Belgian singer-songwriter, composer, actor, and poet who wrote in French. Considered one of the greatest poets of the 20th century, Brel achieved international fame for his intense and dramatic songs, characterized by deep introspection and powerful, engaging vocal expression. His music ranged from traditional chansonnier to musical theatre and avant-garde, influencing generations of artists worldwide. Besides music, Brel also worked in film, acting and directing films like *Le Far-West* (1973), which was nominated for the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. Among his most famous songs are *Ne me quitte pas*, *Amsterdam*, *Quand on n'a rien*, *Mathilde*.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
