Des de Moor
L'Ivrogne (The Drunkard) |
Photographs in Empty Houses
One of 9 original songs, 1 instrumental piece, 2 covers and 2 theatre songs on my first musical cabaret album. More details. Des de Moor voice, acoustic guitar, keyboards and programming Jacques Brel's bitterly humorous 'L'Ivrogne' was a last minute addition to Photographs in Empty Houses: I heard the original on a Brel album I bought in Paris in Spring 1992 and decided I simply had to do it. The version is a fairly straight arrangement sung in French |
Ami remplis mon verre
Encore un et je vas Encore un et je vais Non, je ne pleure pas Je chante et je suis gai Mais j'ai mal d'être moi Ami remplis mon verre Ami remplis mon verre Buvons à ta santé
Buvons à la santé
Ami remplis mon verre
Buvons à ma santé
Buvons aux jeunes filles
Ami remplis mon verre
Buvons à la putain
Buvons nuit après nuit
Ami remplis mon verre
My friend, refill my glass
Let's drink to your health
Let's drink to the health
Let's drink to my health
Let's drink to the young girls
Let's drink to the whore
Let's drink night after night
My friend, refill my glass
