    The article investigates Swedish translations of Georges Brassens' chansons. The aim is to establish what translation methods have been used when the songs were transferred to the target language and covered by Swedish artists. Ten target texts have been analyzed using Johan Franzon's (2021) system of classification of popular songs in translation. Seven target texts stayed faithful to the source texts and were classified as “Near-enough translations.” The three remaining target texts did not resemble the source texts at all and were classified in the category “All-new target lyrics.” A tendency towards a higher degree of fidelity in the song translations was observed from the 1980s and onwards.

    Critical discussions of the song frequently focus exclusively on the lyrical text, thereby placing an unjustifiable limitation on the object under study. Drawing on a number of instances from the work of Georges Brassens, this article examines how meaning is constructed in the song through the convergence of linguistic (textual), melodic, rhythmic and orchestral elements, te lay the foundations for a semiology of the song.

    Peu de livres (une quinzaine) ont été consacrés exclusivement à G. Brassens relativement à l'engouement qu'il déclenche dans la population française. Bien sûr, Brassens fait la manchette de nombreuses revues et se voit citer abondamment dans des ouvrages réservés à la chanson. Quelques thèses ont par ailleurs été entreprises sur notre auteur ("Étude du style et des images dans le texte de Brassens" en 1962, "Valeurs expressives du français dans la chanson moderne" en 1963, etc.); thèses qui se cantonnent presque toutes dans une analyse sémiotique de son oeuvre. Personne, à notre connaissance, n'a effectué de longs travaux sur le phénomène Brassens en se basant par exemple sur les études de Pierre Bourdieu à propos du champ de production littéraire. Cette perspective théorique demeure originale …
