Il neige sur Liège
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Il Neige sur Liège" (It snows on Liège) is a 1963 song written and performed by Jacques Brel.[1][2]
The melancholic song describes how snow is falling on Liège, while the protagonist in the song observes the effect the weather has on the people in the city, "while the Meuse river pierces through the city." As the snow falls on Liège the singer wonders "or is it Liège snowing on the sky?" Eventually he concludes that it "snows on Liège and on his dreams, while the river pierces through the city."[3]
