Jacques Brel
Ne me quitte pas
Jacques Romain Georges Brel (Schaarbeek, April 8, 1929 – Bobigny, October 9, 1978) was a Belgian singer, composer, and lyricist who rose to international fame in the early 1960s. After retiring from the stage in 1967, he was active for some time as a film actor and director. During the most important part of his career, he collaborated extensively with composers François Rauber and Gérard Jouannest. Brel, who lived in Brussels, considered himself a French-speaking Fleming.

Het doosje… (The Box...)
Jaren geleden kreeg ik van mijn vriend Pani dit doosje.
Het was gevuld met houtjes en gemaakt tijdens de omwenteling in Bulgarije. Hij geloofde diep in zijn hart dat er iets groots zou plaatsvinden. Hij bleef grensverleggende kunst maken. Ondanks tegenwerking van de oude gevestigde orde. Zijn vriendin pepte hem vaak op. In ons huis is een kleine tentoonstelling van zijn oeuvre. De lucifers ontbranden spontaan en verlichten zijn werk permanent.
Pani wij missen jou

The Box
Years ago, my friend Pani gave me this box.
It was filled with sticks and made during the revolution in Bulgaria. He believed deep down that something great was about to happen. He continued to create groundbreaking art, despite opposition from the old establishment. His girlfriend often cheered him up. There's a small exhibition of his work in our house. The matches ignite spontaneously and permanently illuminate his work.
Pani, we miss you

Кутията
Преди години моят приятел Пани ми даде тази кутия.
Беше пълна с пръчки и направена по време на революцията в България. Дълбоко в себе си той вярваше, че нещо велико ще се случи. Той продължи да създава новаторско изкуство, въпреки съпротивата на старата власт. Приятелката му често го развеселяваше. В нашата къща има малка изложба на негови творби. Кибритените клечки се запалват спонтанно и осветяват трайно работата му.
Пани, липсваш ни
