Jacques Brel has amazing songs and is one of the best French* lyricists (?) or even poets of the last century.

Terry Jacks' "Seasons in the Sun" is his English version of "Le Moribond". "If you go away" - Terry Jacks is actually "Ne Me Quitte Pas" . Bowie covered "Amsterdam" and "My Death". Other people such as Scott Walker or Marc Almond, among many others, have sung Brel's songs.

* I mean, "in" French...
