Jacques Brel le diable a va

Select language to translate this lyric

One day, one day the devil came to Earth
One day the devil came to Earth
To watch over his interests
The devil has seen everything, he has heard everything
And after having seen everything
And after having heard everything
He returned home, there
And there  - down there, we had a big banquet
At the end of the banquet, the devil rose up
He gave a speech
Ã* it's going there are always everywhere
Fires illuminating the Earth it's going
Men are having fun like crazy
In the dangerous game of war... It's going
The trains derail with a crash
Because guys full of ideals
Put bombs on the tracks
It did original deaths
It made deaths without confession
Confessions without remission that's fine
Nothing is sold but everything is sold
Honor and even holiness are fine
States are changing in secret
Into anonymous societies s it's okay
The grown-ups are scrambling for dollars
Coming from the land of children
Europe repeats the Miser
In a setting of nineteen hundred
It has caused deaths from starvation
And the starvation of nations is fine
Men, they have seen so much
That their eyes have turned gray
It's going and we don't even sing anymore
In all the streets of Paris
Ã*a Let's call the brave people crazy
And the poets as simpletons
But in the newspapers everywhere
All the bastards have their photo
It hurt to honest people
And laugh at dishonest people
it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay
