Jacques Brel men vergeet niets on n oublie rien

Select language to translate this lyric

One forgets nothing, no nothing
One forgets nothing
One forgets nothing or nothing
One adapts, c'est tout
Never a goodbye on land and at home
Not a single journey far away from home
From vista to vista
Face to face
Not a single tavern where one drowns one's pain
In drink to be free
From all that homesickness in the heart
And everything that the mind expects
For no one or nothing in the world
Is there to make you forget
What is deeply rooted in the heart
/>That's as true as the world is round
One forgets nothing, no nothing
One forgets nothing
One forgets nothing or nothing
One adapts, that's all< br/>No love you, no forever
No word of loyalty, no word of regret
What follows us wherever we go
Its mark on our existence
Not a love that one single night
brought some light and hope into life
But that in the early morning hours
turned out to be a delusion and short-lived
For no one or nothing in the world
Is there anyone who makes you forget
What is deeply rooted in your heart
That is as true as the world is round
People forget nothing, no nothing
One forgets nothing
One forgets nothing or nothing
One adapts, c'est tout
Not even the time when it saddens
Me writing a thousand rhymes let
Not even the time that alienates us
And takes wrinkles for a smile
And certainly not the big bed either
That one once offers rest and peace
And may one day also welcome me
With a wide gesture
For no one or nothing in the world
Is there who makes you forget
What is deeply rooted in the heart
That is as true as the world is round
One forgets nothing, no nothing
One forgets nothing
One forgets nothing or nothing
One adapts, that's all
