I just realized this song, and your other post on Jacques Brel, have melodies and some words borrowed by American and British producers to make 60's pop hits in English.

I'm learning, and appreciating a lot.

@GuiltyBiStander The basic ill with pop culture was/is that it takes indeed a lot longer/more effort to really appreciate art like fine music that went beforehand or even at the time. For example, Abba's songs have a lot more baggage than what is obvious at first
