1981 single by Dalida

Il pleut sur Bruxelles (It rains on Brussels) is a 1981 song by Dalida in memory of Belgian singer Jacques Brel, who died three years earlier. The song was featured on her album Olympia 81 and also released as a single, with Et la vie continuera as B-side. The song was written by Jeff Barnel and Michel Jouveaux.

Lyrics

The lyrics make reference to various characters and locations from Brel's songs, particularly Jef, Mathilde, Ces Gens-Là, Amsterdam, Marieke, Les Flamandes, Vésoul, Titine, Madeleine, J'Arrive, Jojo, La Fanette, Fernand and Jacky. The song title refers to Brel's song Bruxelles, but could also be a nod to Il neige sur Liège (It snows on Liège).
