Ami, please learn this song in an english translation. i'm thinking that you sing over the french one. Or sing/speak. have a think
Jacques Brel, " Les Vieux""Que l'on vive à Paris on vit tous en province quand on vit trop longtemps." ("Though you live in Paris, you live in the provinces when you live too long.") As an accordion wheezes behind him, the legendary Belgian chansonnier spits out a mordant song-poem about the golden years. It's not a pretty picture: The old have voices that crack and apartments that smell of musty Bibles. They spend sunny days trudging through funeral processions for "an older man, an uglier woman." And their beloved household pets? Long gone: "Le petit chat est mort."
