Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Il Neige Sur Liège by Jacques Brel from French to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Il neige il neige sur Liège
It snows it snowed on cork
Et la neige sur Liège pour neiger met des gants
And snow on Liège to snow puts gloves
Il neige il neige sur Liège
It snows it snowed on cork
Croissant noir de la Meuse sur le front d'un clown blanc
Black croissant of the Meuse on the forehead of a white clown
Il est brisé le cri
The cry is broken
Des heures et des oiseaux
Hours and birds
Des enfants à cerceaux
Children in Cerceaux
Et do noir et do gris
And black and gray do
Il neige il neige sur Liège
It snows it snowed on cork
Que le fleuve traverse sans bruit
That the river crosses without noise
Il neige il neige sur Liège
It snows it snowed on cork
Et tant tourne la neige entre le ciel et Liège
And so much the snow turns between the sky and the cork
Qu'on ne sait plus s'il neige s'il neige sur Liège
That we no longer know if he snows if snowing on cork
Ou si see'est Liège qui neige vers le ciel
Or if it is cork that snows to the sky
Et la neige marie
And the snow Marie
Les amants débutants
Beginner lovers
Les amants promenant
Walking lovers
Sur le carré blanchi
On the bleached square
Il neige il neige sur Liège
It snows it snowed on cork
Que le fleuve transporte sans bruit
That the river transport without noise
Ce soir ce soir il neige sur mes rêves et sur Liège
Tonight tonight it snows on my dreams and on cork
Que le fleuve transperce sans bruit
That the river pierces without noise
