Happy Birthday, Rod! You've translated Jacques Brel's passionate French melodies into English masterpieces, proving that poetry and music truly have no borders. With over 1,500 songs and more than 100 million records sold, you've certainly earned the right to rhyme "birthday" with "champagne" today!Your timeless lyrics continue to inspire generations—making us laugh, cry, and occasionally scratch our heads in poetic wonder. May your birthday be filled with as much joy as your words have brought to millions around the world. Here's hoping this year brings you even more success—and perhaps another hundred million record sales wouldn't hurt either!
