Le Plat Pays Lyrics in English Jacques Brel
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Le Plat Pays by Jacques Brel from French to English.
With the North Sea
For the last wasteland
And waves of dunes
To stop the waves
And rocky waves
That the tides surpass
And that forever have
The heart at low tide
With infinitely many mists to come
With the east wind
Listen to it hold
The flat country that is mine
With cathedrals
For unique mountains
And black steeples
Like masts of cocagne
Where stone devils
Unhook the clouds
With the thread of days
For unique travel
And rainy paths
For unique goodnight
With the west wind
Listen to it want
The flat country that is mine
With a sky so low
That a canal has gotten lost
With a sky so low
That it brings humility
With a sky so gray
That a canal has hanged itself
With a sky so gray
That we must forgive it
With the north wind
That comes to tear apart
With the north wind
Listen to it crack
The flat country that is mine
With Italy
That would descend the Escaut
With Frida the Blonde
When she becomes Margot
When the sons of November
Return to us in May
When the plain is smoking
And trembles under July
When the wind is laughing
When the wind is in the wheat
When the wind is south
Listen to it sing
The flat country that is mine
