The words were scribbled in a school notebook which was one of 95 lots for auction at a Sotheby’s Paris auction held 30 years after Brel’s death on October 9, 1978.

Brel’s widow and three daughters, who hold full rights to his work, opposed the sale and had offered to buy up the entire collection for 175,000 euros.
