I was going to promote the sinead o'connor video for a side-by-side comparison on the unlikely chance that the Brel made it to the front. Personally, I find these kinds of performances to be almost unbearable, but I simply cannot look away.

Still kicking myself for not posting this in Ball-Flexin' and incurring the Wildman's wrath. . .

Yeah, obscure to anyone under the age of 30 maybe?

Approximate translation:

Do not leave me
We must forget
We can forget everything
It's already gone
Forget the time
Of misunderstandings
And the time wasted
To understand why
Forget these hours
Which sometimes killed
With hurtful questions
The heart of happiness
Do not leave me

I will offer you
Pearls of rain
Coming from lands
Where it never falls
I will dig the earth
Long after my death
To cover your body
With gold and light
I will found a kingdom
Where love will be king
Where love will be law
Where you will be queen
Do not leave me

Do not leave me
I will invent for you
Outrageous words
That you will understand
I will tell you about
These lovers
Who saw their hearts
Twice burning with passion
I will tell you
The story of that King
Who died because
He hadn't met you
Do not leave me

One has seen often
Fire bursting out
Of an ancient volcano
Thought to be extinct
It is believed that
Some charred lands
Give more wheat
Than the best April
And when the night comes
For the sky to be ablaze
Don't red and black
Marry each other
Do not leave me

Do not leave me
I will not cry anymore
I will not talk anymore
I will hide there
Watching you
Dance and smile
And listen to you
Sing and laugh
Let me become
The shadow of your shadow
The shadow of your hand
The shadow of your dog
Do not leave me
