Jacques Brel
« Quand on n'a que l'amour »
Paroles et Musique: Jacques Brel 1956
© Phonogram Paris / Ed. Caravelle
Quand on n'a que l'amour
A s'offrir en partage
Au jour du grand voyage
Qu'est notre grand amour
Quand on n'a que l'amour
Mon amour toi et moi
Pour qu'éclatent de joie
Chaque heure et chaque jour
Quand on n'a que l'amour
Pour vivre nos promesses
Sans nulle autre richesse
Que d'y croire toujours
Quand on n'a que l'amour
Pour meubler de merveilles
Et couvrir de soleil
La laideur des faubourgs
Quand on n'a que l'amour
Pour unique raison
Pour unique chanson
Et unique secours
Quand on n'a que l'amour
Pour habiller matin
Pauvres et malandrins
De manteaux de velours
Quand on n'a que l'amour
A offrir en prière
Pour les maux de la terre
En simple troubadour
Quand on n'a que l'amour
A offrir à ceux-lÃ
Dont l'unique combat
Est de chercher le jour
Quand on n'a que l'amour
Pour tracer un chemin
Et forcer le destin
A chaque carrefour
Quand on n'a que l'amour
Pour parler aux canons
Et rien qu'une chanson
Pour convaincre un tambour
Alors sans avoir rien
Que la force d'aimer
Nous aurons dans nos mains,
Le monde entier

| Jacques Brel - Ne Me Quitte Pas |
 |
Such a beautiful song by Jacques Brel
(recorded in 1959)
Here is an English translation.
Ne Me Quitte Pas (=If you go away)
If you go away on this summer's day,
Then you might as well take the sun away
All the birds that flew in the summer sky
When our love was new and our hearts were
high
When the day was young and the nights were
long
And the moon stood still for the night bird's
song
If you go away, if you go away, if you go
away.
But if you stay, I'll make you a day
Like no day has been, or will be again
We'll sail on the sun, we'll ride on the rain
And talk to the trees and worship the wind
But if you go, I'll understand
Leave me just enough love to fill up my hand
If you go away, if you go away, if you go
away.
If you go, as I know you will
You must tell the world to stop turning
Till you return again, if you ever do,
For what good is love without loving you?
Can I tell you now, as you turn to go
I'll be dying slowly till the next hello
If you go away, if you go away, if you go
away.
But if you stay, I'll make you a night
Like no night has been, or will be again
I'll sail on your smile, I'll ride on your
touch
I'll talk to your eyes that I love so much
But if you go, I won't cry
Though the good is gone from the word goodbye
If you go away, if you go away, if you go
away.
If you go away, as I know you must
There is nothing left in this world to trust
Just an empty room, full of empty space
Like the empty look I see on your face
I'd have been the shadow of your shadow
If you might have kept me by your side
If you go away, if you go away, if you go
away.

| Jacques Derrida at European Graduate School EGS 2004 1/11 |
 |
http://www.egs.edu/ Jacques Derrida in his
Paris seminar "A Critique of Psychoanalysis",
a reading focusing on texts from Gilles
Deleuze. Public open video lecture with
students of the European Graduate School EGS,
Media and Communication Studies department
program, Saas-Fee, Switzerland, Europe,
France, 2004
Jacques Derrida (born July 15, 1930 --
October 8, 2004) was an Algerian-born French
philosopher, known as the founder of
deconstruction. His voluminous work had a
profound impact upon continental philosophy,
French philosophy, and literary theory.
Derrida taught philosophy at the Sorbonne,
and from 1964 to 1984 at the École Normale
Superieure. He completed his Thèse d'État
in 1980; the work was subsequently published
in English translation as "The Time of a
Thesis: Punctuations". Beginning with his
1966 lecture at Johns Hopkins University, at
which he presented his essay "Structure,
Sign, and Play in the Discourse of the Human
Sciences" (see below), his work assumed
international prominence.In 1967 Derrida
published his first three books — Writing
and Difference, Speech and Phenomena, and Of
Grammatology. Until his death Derrida was
director of studies at the École des Hautes
Études en Sciences Sociales in Paris. With
François Châtelet and others, he co-founded
the Collège international de philosophie
(CIPH) in 1983, a research institution
intended to give a place to philosophical
research and lectures which could not be
carried out elsewhere in the academy. He was
elected as its first president.
Derrida held a series of visiting and
permanent positions. In 1986 he became
Professor of the Humanities at the University
of California, Irvine (which now has a major
archive of his manuscripts). He was a regular
visiting professor at several other major
American universities, including Johns
Hopkins University, Yale University, and New
York University, and The New School for
Social Research. Derrida was a member of the
American Academy of Arts and Sciences and
received the 2001 Adorno-Preis from the
University of Frankfurt. He was awarded
honorary doctorates by Cambridge University
(after a great deal of controversy), Columbia
University, The New School for Social
Research, the University of Essex, University
of Leuven, and Williams College. In 2003,
Derrida was diagnosed with aggressive
pancreatic cancer, which reduced his speaking
and traveling engagements. He died in a
Parisian hospital on the evening of Friday,
October 8, 2004.
