Ouedraogo Hazael Pawentaore released his homage to Luxembourg’s former head state shortly after Grand Duke Jean died last month at the age of 98.
Pawentaore’s song is titled ‘Grand Duke Jean, I’ve got the Luxemblues’. In an email to Delano, he provided the lyrics:
“Grand Duke Jean
The whole country is crying
Mister Grand Duke Jean
The whole country is crying
And I’m crying too
Luxembourg is in mourning
Rest In Peace Monsieur le Grand-Duc Jean
You were like a brother to us
You were like a brother to us
You were an example for us
I’ve got the Luxemblues”
