Jacques Brel (1929–1978) was a Belgian singer-songwriter whose
thoughtful and theatrical songs generated a large, devoted following in
Belgium, France and throughout the world.
Although he recorded most of his songs in French, he became a major influence on English-speaking songwriters and performers such as Rod McKuen, Leonard Cohen, Barbra Streisand and David Bowie.

If we only have love
We can reach those in
pain
We can heal all our wounds
We can heal all our wounds
We can use our own names.
If we only have love
We can melt all the guns
And then give the new
world
To our daughters and
sons.
We'll have conquered all time
All space, the sun, and the stars!
