also:

We often see

the fire erupt

from the ancient volcano

we once thought too old

It is shown that

lands that were burned

gave more wheat

than the best April.

French version is so much more emotive.

A better poll would be "Le Moribond" vs "Seasons In The Sun"

"3". It's probably his worst version of a Brel song.

i've definitely got 3. It's 2 I'm missing. Yeah, his Brel covers are hit and miss - I prefer his version of "Amsterdam" to the Brel one for example.

I like all of them except, uh, "If You Go Away" really!
