Georges Brassens - Supplique pour être enterré à la plage de Sète

Georges Brassens died a week after turning 60 on 29 October 1981.  He's buried in Sète (where he was born) but in the cemetery, not on the beach at Sète as this humorous song requests.  An English translation can be found at Supplique pour être enterré à la plage de Sète.

Some people pronounce "Clivia" as if it had a short "i" but it was named in honour of  Lady Charlotte Clive, Duchess of Northumberland, so it's more correctly pronounced with a long "i" as "Clive-ia".
