Quand je vois que la plupart de mes jeunes compatriotes ne connaissent plus Georges Brassens, je m'emeus de voir qu'un américain s'y intéresse et en parle avec respect.
Merci Monsieur
Je suis d'accord avec vous. Respect à ce Monsieur américain
Oui il s'agit d'abrutir les gens au maximum
Le coeur n'a pas de frontières l'ami.
Brassens was born in Sète, a small French town on the Mediterranean Sea. He spent his adult life in Paris but he wanted to be buried by the sea, his wish was granted, he is currently buried in a small cemetery next to the beach of Sète, with a view of the sea, as he wished. And even for many French speakers he is difficult to understand because his vocabulary is very rich (in slang or high vocabulary), in figures of speech, in references (mythological, historical, literary...). There are people who say "Brassens with his big mustache and his pipe, it's always the same guitar tune", but they don't listen to the lyrics which are beautiful and wise. I love that man, thank you for sharing his songs !
And besides, his music is actually varied and high-level, real musicians know that well. His goal was for it to be discreet and not demonstrative to highlight the lyrics, but the same lyrics accompanied by less elaborate music would seem duller 😏
He always told that music must be only à support of his versés, the audience have to ear lyrics and undersand it. Hé told so that a few people was able to undersand his songs. But hé told so : "Much musicien that you, noise makers !" because hé knew that hé was a great melodist. If you can ear guitare version by Michel Sadanowski, Jazz Manouche covers, and sea thé explanation of Dutch classical pianiste and composer Daniel Wayenberg about thé music of Bassens.
des suites d'accords à la guitare et la mélodie, d'une simplicité incroyable...non Brassens n'est pas un petit guitariste ce n'est jamais la même chose ....magnifique....
Georges Brassens. Une moustache, une guitare, un poète, une légende.🙏⭐
"Full like an egg" (plein comme un oeuf) is a very common French expression because, if you remember you biology classes, it's true that an egg is ... full.
The fun part is that he says that his family vault is ... full like an egg ... and that he couldn't decently ask the old corpses to move a bit to make room for the "young" (new) ones.
Brassens is a monument! This song is considered as his will, where he requests to be buried in his birthplace: Sète (that must have greatly changed since then) is a village on the Mediterranean sea shore.
He had been living in Paris for many years and just wished that his body be buried in his native country.
A pure jewel, that song, that brings tears of emotion to my eyes every time I hear it (and, believe me, as an absolute fan of Georges Brassens, I've listened to it hundreds of times).
C'est un des seuls artistes à me provoquer autant d'émotions juste avec des mots et une guitare !
Magnifique each time !
I am french and George Bassens is the kind of artist Who makes me proud of my language, philosophy and way of life.....
Brassens died 20 years before I was born, but to this day he is my favorite singer, his texts truly are the bests.
He sang a few song in spanish too !
C'est indéniable. Quand Brassens et Brel chantent la mort et le deuil, on a hâte d'y être tant ça a l'air poétique.
His lyrics are the absolute best. He died rather too young, of cancer, so the song is poignant. I took my kid to his grave in Sète ( beautiful and sleepy seaside town on the Mediterranean Coast with a lovely and quaint fishing harbour...) Not on the beach, alas, but the cemetary had a modest charm befitting him. Brassens understood life and death like no one else, but had the elegance to smile about it.
An incredible lyricist, a poet, a true humble legend. Very glad to see you appreciate his songs
A true poet, self-educated, hungry for words and a great musicien.
My favorite Brassens song. The lyrics, the music. There is everything. Sete is 2 hours from my house and every time i go there i think about him.
I haven't had the chance to visit his grave yet but I'm planning on doing so.
Je l'ai visité et franchement prend le temps d'y aller. C'est un superbe endroit et le musée qui lui rend hommage à côté rend hommage à son histoire !
C'est un des personnages clés du vingtième pour moi. Qu'importe tes convictions, c'est français dans le fond, et ça nous parle à tous. C'est un vrai héritage, comme tant d'autres
Brassens is so so good ! ❤❤❤
Thank you monsieur D ❤
8:03 hahaha, your "pff, eh b’en dis donc", so French 🤭👍🏼
This song likes many others takes a lot of time to write. Brassens is a master of poetry in french. Makes a bend between Poetry and smiling.
I wish everyone can understand french just to be able to enjoy this guy and his songs.
The guy's a genius. I have no other words, really.
A l'occasion d'un enterrement cet été a Sète j'y ai vu sa tombe et c'était si humble pour un tel artiste. Seule une pierre amenée par un admirateur permettait de comprendre sa renommée. Il avait écrit dessus des paroles de Brassens bien sûr. Mais quel magnifique endroit où reposer ceci dit.
@@frmarie-oz5xu oui effectivement .Je suis de Sète. Et à côté de sa tombe, il y a un pin. Comme demandé dans sa chanson. Par contre ce cimetière n a pas vu sur la mer, même s il n est pas loin. C est le cimetière marin où est Paul Valéry qui a une magnifique vue sur la mer.
@Marie-LuceViolet tout à fait, n'étant pas de Sète mais de la région, je croyais depuis toujours qu'il était au cimetière marin d'ailleurs avant de voir sa tombe dans le cimetière "du bas"(désolée je n'ai pas retenu son nom)
Mais tout de même un bien joli endroit pour reposer en paix, simple mais joli
@@frmarie-oz5xu c est le cimetière le Py. Et pas loin il y a un musée consacré à Brassens.
Georges have so many beautiful song =) Thank you D from France with friendship
Simply the greatest next to Jacques Brel; Jacques for his rendition and interpretation and Georges for his texts, their greatness and their poetry. No one still writes like him today. He was an immense poet both very sensitive and irreverent !
He is a legend and thrones in the firmament of poetry and great French song.
Note that always insatisfied, he regularly reworked the text and music and it eventually took him a decade to release this particular song and masterpiece.
May I advise you 'L' orage' and 'Les trompettes de la renommée' (extraordinary even if probably a challenge for an anglophone).
J'aime le blues, le folk, la pop, le rock et le métal mais j'écouterai toujours et entres autres Brassens, Brel, Ferrat et Barbara.
Brassens loved and studied poetry, that's why he's the best French song writer. He had a huge respect for poets and never agreed to be called one because he knew he was sitting on giants shoulders.
He saw himself more as a craftsman who perfects his work.
Of course he' was a genius and I might add the guy who did the translation of the lyrics did a pretty damn good job, too. I'm impressed.
my favorite song of our great and dear Georges ❤❤
Edit: I wrote this message a little over a month ago, while I was watching this video with my mom. Because it's my favorite song of Brassens but it was also his. A few days after this message and after this listening, mom suddenly died at the age of 68.
Tomorrow, it will be a month since she was buried under a beautiful winter sun with this song by Brassens that resonated in the cemetery. Goodbye my little mama of love, you will live forever in my heart and in this song. I miss you 😭😭
This song was player during my father’s funeral cause he loved this song so much. Even my nephews who are only in their preteen know this song.
It's very moving. Was it your father who decided this himself before his death, or an idea from the family?
@ He told us many years before his death. I think the first time he spoke about it was when I was still a teen so 20/25 years before he passed.
My FAVORITE song from BRASSENS !
Quel poète !
Je vis à côté de Sète et le cimetière où il repose ainsi que l'espace qui lui est dédié sont vraiment magnifiques .
Brassens is one of my all-time favourite songwriter, period, and I'm so thankful to my late grandmother who introduced me to his songs.
Btw, you say he's a poet, it's true and there's even a reference to it in this song : Paul Valéry, one of the XXth century French greatest poets, is from Sète too and buried in Sèete's marine cemetery as he requested in one of his poems. And that's the explanation for the verse about wanting his burial site be more 'marine' than Valéry's one even if his poetry can' compare.
Une des premières musiques de Bassens que ma fait découvrir mon grand père ❤
Filled like in egg is a very common saying in french language. I don't want to make you think that Georges was not a poet. He was. And this particular song is one of my top one. Thank you so much to carry on on his tracks.
One of my favorite with L'orage. Thank you !
Indeed. L'orage is a beautiful love song. I hope he finds a version with good subtitles. I've searched but haven't found one yet.
@@galier2 Same for me 😔
Merci à vous! C'est touchant et intéressant de "découvrir" nos grand artistes français à travers votre regard! ☺
Quelle magnifique chanson. Je découvre un peu plus de Brassens en dehors des plus connues et c'est formidable.
pareil, je la connaissais pas
Je la connais depuis un moment mais un peu sur le tard, aussi. Je suppose simplement qu'elle était trop longue pour passer à la radio et du coup dans la mémoire collective, les plus connues étant généralement très courtes.
Pour moi c'est sa longueur qui en fait tout le charme, une telle avalanche d'idées et détails poétiques qui en devient étourdissante au fil des strophes 🥹
@@pierre.from.france j'avais presque pas envie qu'elle se termine !
@@KrokisMtl Oui, comme certains films excellents qui durent 3 heures, on est frustrés, c'est passé trop vite !
a master of French words, I live not far from where he was born in the south of France
Sète ❤
Honestly, I listened to these songs all my life, I had to google a quarter of the words of that song to get them XD
Like for context, Paul Valéry, is a famous poet from Sète, his village where he wanted to be buried. And he's buried in the marine cemetary, that's why Brassens sing "My cemetary is more marine than his".
There's just so much references sometimes you lost them, after all, he started singing in the 50s, when my parents weren't even born, and died in 1981, that was 44 years ago....
Un artiste incroyable que j'écoute depuis toujours, aujourd'hui j'ai 30 ans et je l'écouterai encore pour longtemps
"Plein comme un oeuf" ( filled like an egg) is a very popular way to say there's no room left in french.
Anecdote in 1969, during the famous radio meeting of Jacques Brel, Léo Ferré and Georges Brassens, the latter about the song specifies: "I tell you that I don't care about being buried on the beach of Sète, it's completely equal to me. I did it for fun.
Yes he is a genius even if filled like an egg is an old well known french expression.
"filled like an egg" (plein comme un oeuf) mean there is no place at all inside!
Merci d’avoir ajouté ce morceau que je t’avais demandé sur Patreon ❤
du couyp merci a toi aussi
Et merci à toi, j'avais prévu de le proposer mais comme-ça il est arrivé plus vite 😉
La chanson Hécatombe serait la bienvenue.
Il y a rien à faire, cette chanson me fait pleurer et rire à chaque fois...
He is very good, very famous in France
He was buried in the Sailor's cemetery, in the city of Sète, near the sea. Yes, it's an actual poet.
Hello🎉
Une de mes préférées
Mon chanteur préféré, et de loin !
et la je me dirais: ENFIN PROPRIETAIRE!!
I think his moral is more like "When I'll die, I'm sorry Napoléon, great Pharaohs, my tomb will be better than yours, because I'll be next to the sea".
It's not even that everyone is equal, he's saying that the small little pleasures are better than whatever the great of the worlds can dream of ^^
I live near to Sète my sister lives there, it’s a beautiful small city near Mediterranean sea
Une très belle chanson sur ses dernières volontés. Être enterré dans un endroit familier, là où sa famille avant lui a été enterrée, s'amuser en imaginant comment les gens continueront de vivre, gaiement, à la plage, proche de sa tombe. Et ainsi, comme il le dit, en étant enterré non pas au panthéon, mais dans un lieu plus modeste, mais devant une magnifique plage joyeuse, sa dernière demeure est plus enviable, il sera éternellement en vacances :)
Gavroche is a character from Victor Hugo, he is killed by a police officer. He is a "Titi" a child from the streets of Paris.
Mimi Pinçon is a character of the poet Alfred de Musset. She is a “grisette” a poorly paid industrial seamstress.
Paul Valéry was a french poet from Sete to. His best known poem is Le Cimetière Marin.
He is a genius I can't say if a french artist is comparable to him today...
"La ballade des gens qui sont nés quelque part" (with English subtitles) is as good
Are you surprised that one of his best friend was Jacques Brel ? People like this have such a poetry world as brain, you can just contemplate their talent. This song is his will to be buried in that place, and be the forever one looking at the sea (compared to famous people buried in dark places like Pantheon). Sète is a wonderful city in Mediterranean cost, and his grave is where he wanted to be, simple, poetic, loving the nature, as he was.
Re-discovering the well known lyrics in english is a thing to me. I hope a lot of english-speaking people will be touched by this near perfect text, the depth of the images, the power of the subject.
Enjoy!
très beau, très touchant
Votre hommage à Georges Brassens est très beau, d’ailleurs il vous appelle pour vous remercier.😇
This is what "having a way with words" means.
FYI "plein comme un œuf" (full as an egg) is a common expression in French.
Une de mes chansons préférées ! Y a que Brassens pour arriver à nous faire sourire à l'idée de la mort.
Oui, il est unique
Cette chanson est élaborée, du point de vue de la forme. Tout le texte repose sur la base suivante : deux alexandrins (douze pieds) avec rime, suivis d'un octosyllabe (huit pieds).
you see, that's what a genius is
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
❤👏👏👏
Dear friend, the city of Séte is a city in the south of France, where Georges Brassens(sss) was born! Once again he shows his non-conformism, not wanting to be buried in a large and famous Parisian cemetery! In short, he is always equal to himself, and never betrays himself! Thank you for your videos :)
Sète est la ville natale de Georges Brassens dans le sud de la Fance.
A poet, exactly ❤
YUP! BEN OUI!
It's true
I have been there
You can see the beach and the sea from his grave
I live into Frontignan the city border to Sète. It's like the song the life in this french mediteranean region...
Un beau français, il y en a peu aujourd'hui d'aussi bons poetes....
One of my favourite Brassens songs, I hope you can try Les Funérailles d’Antan and Le Temps Ne Fait Rien à l’Affaire !
Thanks for your : « Eh ben, dis donc » loved it ! 😅
magnifique
oui merci. Mais beaucoup de monde écoute encore Mr Brassens. C'est rassurant
Hi D. Just a few notes to help, because even with the translation it still seems difficult to understand @5:57
mistral and tramontane are the names of (strong) winds that blow on the south of France, where the song ask to be buried, from different directions (bringing from Spain and Italy...)
Villanelle and Tarantelle are musical genres and dance from respectively north and south of Italy
fandango and sardane are dances and matching music genre from Spain ( sardane is THE dance of the region of catalu~na, which spreads across the border of France and Spain along the medditeranean sea, where Barcelona is. Fandango is more wide spread accros the Spanish "territories", from the islands in the medditeranean to Mexico)
All of this brings me to an reaction idea in a different style, about the song "nature morte" from Spanish group "Mecano" that translated some of their songs in French (original name of the song "Naturaleza muerta"). This is another song about burial on the beach, from a group across Spain and France (if you choose to listen to their French translation, may be fun to see you react to the singer Spanish accent in a foreign language ;-) ) One of my favorite song from the end of last millenia
The "mistral" does not blow, or extremely rarely, over the Gulf of Lion. The "tramontane" (N.N.W.) and "le marin" (S-SE) are the dominant winds. From time to time, the very humid "Grec" (E) and the" trans-Pyrénéen" (W-SW) relatively hot in summer and very cold in winter appear briefly. The "mistral" is mainly located in Provence but I think that Georges Brassens wanted to adjust the rhyme😉.
Merci pour tes vidéos ! Je pense que nous avons les mêmes opinions (politique/philosophie), donc je pense que "Gare au gorille" de Georges Brassens devrait te plaire !
Brassens is our first rapper :p
Brassens took a decade to write this song
Jacques Brel-georges Brassens et serge Gainsbourg les 3 plus grands paroliers de la chansons Française et la musique aussi!!!!
Brassens and Brel were sads genius
Hello Monsieur D, i have a request for you, one old french artist, react to : " Jean Ferrat - La montagne " and/of " Jean Ferrat - Ma France " and/or '" Jean Ferrat - Aimer à perdre la raison " it's poète also !!!
Yes ! I want to see react to
Quand j'étais gamin, mes parents me "gavaient" avec Brassens, ma grand-mère avec Edith Piaf, je ne comprenais pas grand chose à leurs textes, adulte je ne pouvais et je ne peux toujours pas me passer deux, au point que mes enfants connaissent par cœur, toutes les chansons qui berçaient nos voyages en voiture
Georges brassens is a legend of french language
He's got what we call " l'accent du Sud " (" south accent " ?) , and his plea was not granted by the Sète concil. He was buried in the regular cimetary wich is called : " cimetière marin ", consolation price i guess.
The Saint-Charles cemetery was named le Cimetière Marin in 1945 in reference to the famous poem by Paul Valéry. This is why Brassens mentions Paul Valéry in the song 🙂
Well, to be exact, he said later that he didn't really care to be buried in the beach, that was for the sake of the song and not his true will.
As for the "cimetiere marin", he was not buried in it. His grave is in another graveyard in Sète (and actually, I believe it doesn't face the sea, as the cimetière marin does, but faces the Tau lake)
et le sourire de Georges
For having a good understanding of this song (Probably one of the mooost complexe and difficult to understand, even for a lot a french speaking people):
When he speak about "Paul Valerie" in the song, Brassens make a little jock when he said that his "grave will be more marine than his". Indeed, Paul Valerie is burried in the "Marine Cimetery" in the city of Sète. A cimetery that is located in the highest point of the city, on a hill, so far away from the seashore. So Brassens gentle mocking Paul Valerie in the song here: he said that Valerie is a better poet yes, but his grave will be more "marine" than him. Because the grave of George will be directly on the beach^^, and not in a cimetery on a hill of Sète (even if this cimetery is called irronicly "marine cimetery").
Btw: the marine cimetery in Sète is a must see in Sète. The view and the poetry of the place is amazing.
And we can specify that this cemetery was named "Cimetière marin" in reference, precisely, to the eponymous poem by Paul Valéry 😏
@XiaoVeen
Ho i did’t know that! Interesting!
I suggest you to react also to another Georges Brassens' song : "La complainte des filles de joie".
Très drôle au début quand il se trompe, mon nez au lieu de son nez, lui-même est surpris !
La marche nuptiale would be nice
Merci pour avoir accédé à ma demande. A priori, la première écoute ne vous a pas tout donné. S'il-vous-plaît... écoutez-la au moins dix fois, texte et traduction à l'appui... et munissez-vous d'une boîte de kleenex à proximité ! Bien à vous !
Brel and Brassens...
L'une de ses meilleures. Une autre des plus belles est "les passantes".
Dear, if you like very, very well written french songs with high lyricism, complex vocabulary and unique images, I CANNOT recommend Anne Sylvestre enough - Ecrire Pour Ne Pas Mourrir is probably a song I'd advice to start with. She's brilliant, I've been working on translating a lot of her work
You should react to "Les copains d'abord" and "Brave Margot" 😉
Brel et Brassens, quoi de mieux au niveau des émotions et des paroles?
Un des rares chanteurs à ne pas faire d'un couplet un refrain, aucune de ses phrases ne se ressemblent dans ses couplets et pour chanter autant de chansons comme celle-ci il faut une mémoire infaillible. C'est surement un de nos plus grands chanteurs de France et n'en déplaise aux fans de Johnny Halliday qui était principalement interprète et ne composait pas vraiment ses chansons, Brassens était nettement meilleur. Après je compare l'incomparable, c'est vrai, mais quand même...Brel ; Brassens ; Sardou ; Piaf... des monstres de la chanson.
If you like Brassens you might like Anne Sylvestre. I would recommend reacting to "Bergère", "La Faute à Ève" or "La Reine du Créneau".
The translation isn't great at times, but poetry is definitely a huge task to translate properly.
You have to hear Didier super french humorist singer !!
Il a bien été enterré au cimetière "Le Pyde" à Sète près de la plage de la corniche comme il le souhaiter
Hi Uncle D, 🌴🌞
There are still a lot of references that are not very (or not at all) understandable for an American in this song.
For my part, I'd not have proposed it, some others are more relevant. But hey, there's something for everyone.
Peace, folks. ☮👈😎
Brassens didn't invent the expression "full like an egg", it's a very common way of saying something's full in France. For example, my parents often used it when I had a cold and a blocked nose. Nothing poetic here in a text which is by itself a real poem
