Voilà que l'on se cache
Quand se lève le vent
De peur qu'il ne nous pousse
Vers des combats trop rudes
Voilà que l'on se cache
Dans chaque amour naissant
Qui nous dit après l'autre
Je suis la certitude
Voilà que l'on se cache
Que notre ombre un instant
Pour mieux fuir l'inquiétude
Soit l'ombre d'un enfant
L'ombre des habitudes
Qu'on a plantées en nous
Quand nous avions vingt ans
Serait-il impossible de vivre debout
Voilà qu'on s'agenouille
D'être à moitié tombé
Sous l'incroyable poids
De nos croix illusoires
Voilà qu'on s'agenouille
Et déjà retombé
Pour avoir été grand
L'espace d'un miroir
Voilà qu'on s'agenouille
Alors que notre espoir
Se réduit à prier
Alors qu'il est trop tard
Qu'on ne peut plus gagner
A tous ces rendez-vous
Que nous avons manqués
Serait-il impossible de vivre debout
Voilà que l'on se couche
Pour la moindre amourette
Pour la moindre fleurette
A qui l'on dit toujours
Voilà que l'on se couche
Pour mieux perdre la tête
Pour mieux brûler l'ennui
A des reflets d'amour
Voilà que l'on se couche
De l'envie qui s'arrête
De prolonger le jour
Pour mieux faire notre cour
A la mort qui s'apprête
Pour être jusqu'au bout
Notre propre défaite
Serait-il impossible de vivre debout
The lyrics VIVRE DEBOUT of JACQUES BREL is also present in the album Les flamandes
Jacques Romain Georges Brel (Schaerbeek, 8 aprile 1929 – Los Angeles, 9 ottobre 1978) è stato un cantautore, compositore, attore e poeta belga di lingua francese. Considerato uno dei più grandi poeti del XX secolo, Brel ha raggiunto fama internazionale per le sue canzoni intense e drammatiche, caratterizzate da una profonda introspettività e da un'espressione vocale potente e coinvolgente. La sua musica spaziava tra il chansonnier tradizionale, il teatro musicale e l'avanguardia, influenzando generazioni di artisti in tutto il mondo. Oltre alla musica, Brel si è cimentato anche nel cinema, recitando e dirigendo film come *Le Far-West* (1973), candidato al premio della Palma d'oro al Festival di Cannes. Tra i suoi brani più famosi ricordiamo *Ne me quitte pas*, *Amsterdam*, *Quand on n'a rien*, *Mathilde*.

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
