I just made this video and translation and thought it would be a neat way to welcome the summer. It's Brel's first recording,1953, obscure but great:

This is really wonderful. Thank you very much.
How many Brel songs have you titled already?

I love your Jacques Brel stuff lightning, I only knew the English translations before I came here.

Coney Island for me will always be Lou Reed territory.

Every line is poignant...

...remember that the city is a funny place
Something like a circus or a sewer

the glory of love, the glory of love
the glory of love, it just might see you through

I haven't counted them ,but there are quite a few spread out over various accounts. If you search for Jacques Brel + English on YouTube, you'll find them. You can also find all of them on DailyMotion.com in the account of lightning49. Thanks for appreciating.
