Le gorille

Le gorille
"Brother Gorilla" - The English version by Jake Thackray




Only a bunch of songs by Georges Brassens have been translated (or adapted) in English. Among them, Jake Thackray's Brother Gorilla is perhaps the best, and best known one. It is preceded by a short, recited introduction by the author that explains the song to an English-speaking audience pointing out that capital punishment is all but song fiction. [RV 25-05-2019]
