Georges Brassens: Dans l'eau de la claire fontaine (1962)

On YouTube this brazilian like version by Maxime le Forestier. Excellent. Here Brassens himself in live concert (with spanish subtitles). Lyrics below. When Maxime tells Brassens he has changed a bit the song, Georges Brassens answers "you do as you please, they (the songs) belong to everybody" (tu fais ce que tu veux, elles sont à tout le monde')
