I love life , and will try to make up for my failures , but i wont let them control my future . i guess thats my meaning to life . everyones is different . thanks charles
My wife and I were sitting on the beach in Skala Marion/Greece. Looking at the sea. Then, this song came from nearby cafe. I will never forget that moment!
Mother ran across the the lobby of the Southern Cross Hotel calling out Charles Charles as he was walking to the lift. He stopped and when she reached him all she could do was look at him and cry. They were both 5’2” and French. ❤️❤️❤️ God bless them both 😢 And while reminiscing I’m in tears 😢 ❤️
Մեր անկրկնելր ու անզուգական Շառլ Ազնավուրը :) Մարմնով՝ փոքր, հոգով՝ հզոր, իր երգով ու երաժշտությամբ՝ համամարդկային, տիեզերքի նման անսահման մեծ ․․․․ ❤💙🧡
A beautiful song, sung as it should be, with emotion. I can listen to this song 100 times and tears still flow down my face. My two favorite singers to sing this song with the emotion it deserves is, of course Charles and also Dame Shirley Bassey.
שיר מרגש עד כדי דמעות. זכרון וגעגועים לאבא שלי הוא היה שומע את שארל זאנבור ושירים צרפתיים בימי שבת, בזמן שהיה מכין ארוחת בוקר לכולנו. A moving song to the point of tears. Memory and longing for my father. He would listen to Charles Zanbor and French songs on Saturdays, while he would prepare breakfast for all of us.
O Lord , it is so true , very few could tell so clearly the reality of life, to pass precise feelings through singing , only true masters could reach to such perfection . what a loss , this is how true artists catches audience's hearts .
RIP Charles, thank you for all the great music, you will always be the smoothest Frenchman I can remember. God bless you. Big respect from this old Englishman.
"The time has come for me to pay for yesterday. When I was... young. Young?? Young! I love the subtly of putting the punctuation in the intonation of his voice, and saying the word "young" three different ways, so perfectly.
Always loved this song, but the lyrics become more real as you reach a certain age. No one else comes close in performing it, he puts such feeling into it, and the French accent makes it even more unique.
A legend of true human feelings and wisdom, expressed with unique talent.. The world has lost greatly by your departure Mr. Aznavour. May you farewell in your new home..!
Я с 1967 года ярый поклонник Азнавура.знаю почти все исполненые песни. Лучший среди певцов и людей. Я как и он говоривщий по французски, рускоговорящий Армянин. Но душой чувствовал все его песни. Говорю и понимаю по английски и песня дошла до меня. В ней счастье и горесть прожитой песни.
Ascoltando questa straordinaria melodia, abbinata a queste toccanti, profonde, significative parole, l'effetto pianto è motivo di normale, passionale coinvolgimento.
why? why do we appreciate the good things when it is mainly too late? Or mainly it is life's fingers to say "you should have taken more effort, you twat"
До сих пор не могу принять, что Шарля больше нет с нами! Его Божественный голос и песни, которые он написал будут вечны, как Млечный путь! Земля тебе пухом МАЭСТРО!
At 53 with kids and wife; I look my life and see nothing but pain to reach my life goal and I am still running to chase the dream in me that has never been exposed - I had a hard live growing up in a home filled with anger and abusive father and dirt poor. Now I live well and kids in private schools that take things for granted ~ unbeknown the sacrifices.
Rest in piece maestro. You had amazing life full of happiness and disappointments. You found your unique way for expression of your emotions full of kindness and love. Every Armenian heart is crying for you. Although I know that people like you just can’t belong to one nation because the love in you is global and you belong to the world, to everyone who is able to understand the dip love to the humanity that you had. but for us Armenians you will always stay as a part of us.
The lyrics were written by Charles' friend and collaborateur Herbert Kretzmer (also wrote "Les miserables", English version. Still around at 94 in May 2020. ) The 2 worked perfectly together. The master wrote the melody.
aaww. My mum had a lifelong crush on Monsieur A.. she danced with him once at 'talk of the town' in london in the 60's... she hasnt forgotten how he made her feel, or how perfectly short he was..! she never quite made 5'2" herself..when i think of them dancing together.. my mother so young,, with this gorgeous man...this song is kind of perfect...
+Davis Jen - bittersweet... but yes.. bless her, im glad she still has memories she can enjoy and im suitably impressed..what a man... i wish i could dance with charles aznavour - he's LOVELY. ooh. i need to go have a lie down now.
Aznavour was the last and, in my opinion, the greatest exponent of the twentieth century French chanson. A gifted stylist, with his distinctive vibrato tenor voice, and a prolific song composer, he brought an actor's sensibility to performance. He became the characters he sang about and enabled those who saw and heard him perform to see, feel and understand the lives and emotions of those characters. They became real because reality and experience was what Aznavour invested in them.
Thank you for being such a huge part of my 58 years. Mom and dad would play your records and we would listen For ever i will love you and for ever will i listen. My children listen and miss you. Merci mon ami. Merci et bien. Auvoir.
Been listening to many other artists singing this song but his interpretation is by far the most powerful as far as I'm concerned. As we get older we all realise the truth of the quote: "Youth is wasted on the young". That is the human predicament. We are only able to value something fully when we no longer have it.
Krasna melodie.... Jo Pan Aznavur byla i moje laska v mych mladych letech... Nadhra, ktera mi necha behat husi kuzu po celem tele...... Dekuji, hraji to jiz po paté a urcite ne naposled...
There are several singers that tried to sing this song; however, Charles Aznavour really nailed it. The changes in the intonation of his voice, throughout of the song, really delivered a unique range of feelings. It gets me all the time that change in the timber of his voice where he sings '...only I am left on stage to end the play...' and then at 2:46-2:48 he changes the tone and continues '...there are so many songs in me that won't be sang...' Depending on the life a person has lived and the level of maturity achieved, this song can hit you as early as late teens - early 20s.
His voice brings so much emotion and truth to these words. It is so meaningful especially as you get older It is a song I have listened to and will continue to listen to, no one else does it better
Yesterday when I was young The taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue I teased at life as if it were a foolish game The way the evening breeze may tease a candle flame The thousand dreams I dreamed, the splendid things I planned I always built, alas, on weak and shifting sand I lived by night and shunned the naked light of day And only now I see how the years ran away Yesterday when I was young So many drinking songs were waiting to be sung So many wayward pleasures lay in store for me And so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out I never stopped to think what life was all about And every conversation I can now recall Concerned itself with me, and nothing else at all Yesterday the moon was blue And every crazy day brought something new to do I used my magic age as if it were a wand And never saw the waste and emptiness beyond The game of love I played with arrogance and pride And every flame I lit too quickly, quickly died The friends I made all seemed somehow to drift away And only I am left on stage to end the play There are so many songs in me that won't be sung I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue The time has come for me to pay for yesterday when I was young
I first heard Aznavour in 1980 in Paris far from my native Bengal. This song now after 44 yearss in Muscat calls me back to my younger syears - but yesterday is gone - alas beyond the horizon
Oh wow what an amazing song!! How many of us will think this when we are old..LIFE IS SHORT! Be kind to those who care about you, say sorry, love and be humble.
What a beautiful song this is. When reading the lyrics along - while keeping in mind that I can get it wrong - I got the feeling that this song is about a man who is regretting past events. I hope he also sees the beauty in the wisdom he had gain over the years.
A 'big fan, I was fortunate to be in Paris on July 1, 2019 attending a tribute to his life and music he brought to life. Wonderful tribute, met Seda who is keeping his memory alive. We all miss him, some much more/
Niemand konnte Zärtlichkeit, Lebensweisheit und Überlebenswillen so eindringlich in Chansons verwandeln wie Charles Aznavour. Mit ihm verliert die Welt einen Entertainment-Giganten. Charles Aznavour: Meister des Chansons.
Every word that Herbert Kretzmer wrote hits home the way Charles sings it... I wonder when a genius such as Aznavour will be around again, if ever. He was for his genre what a Mozart or Beethoven were for classical music. Fortunately he had such a long career and life. Sing with the angels now, my friend!
Just can't explain in words how this music transforms your whole being in time. Bless. 22 May 1924 (age 90) and still active. Please keep him alive for eternity
Բարության և սիրո մարմնացում... Այսպիսի փոքր մարմնում այսքան մեծ սիրտ, որ ամբողջ աշխարհին է բավականացնում։ Հպարտ եմ, որ քո հայրենակիցն եմ ու ժամանակակիցը։ Արդեն մի քանի օր է, ինչ փորձում եմ մտաբերել Շառլ Ազնավուրի մեծությանն հավասար որևէ մեկի , չեմ կարողանում։ Որքան մեծ հմայք, ուժ, եռանդ, սեր, ջերմություն ու լույս կա այս փոքրիկ հսկայի աչքերում։ Ննջիր խաղաղությամբ, իմ պաշտելի Մաեստրո։
Al je ups and down's en al je kansen en bedreigingen die je in leven hebt meegemaakt, klinken door in dit nummer. En er is maar één stem die daar bij hoort. Bedankt Meneer Aznavour.
Thank you for all the songs and all the great moments of joy and tears of happiness ! Great artists die , but they are never forgotten ! And you , my friend , are the greatest of them all ! RIP
he sang that first when he was in his early 40s....today he is 50 years older and thankfully still with us...what did he think THEN and what does he think NOW about his song? i just wonder. a genius anyway, as an artist and a passionate, caring human being...there will never be another charles aznavourian...
This song and his own interpretation, is so bery touching. I wish thete could be mote of him in this terrible Trumpian age. The world we grew up in meant something to us all - ask Mr. Aznavour.
Vandaag 1 oktober 2018 is onze grootste zanger overleden op 94 jarige leeftijd, het is stil in mijn hart, het is stil in mijn gedachten. Je bracht zoveel moois, een zanger waarmee ik opgroeide en groot ben geworden. Wat laat je een prachtig document zeg maar monument aan muziek na, rust zacht mooi mens
Mijn opa is 1 oktober 00.50 overleden, vandaag hebben we dit nummer op zijn crematie 2x ter gehoren gebracht. In het begin en op het laatst. Ik had het nummer nog nooit eerder gehoord, maar het ontroerde me meteen. Al helemaal nu ik lees dat de zanger en mijn opa op dezelfde dag gestorven zijn.
Nog steeds....2 maanden na zijn overlijden op 1 oktober 2018 , luister ik zijn chansons. ....steeds meer... Wat een groot verlies! Maar wat een prachtige chansons heeft Charles Aznavour ons nagelaten! Merci beaucoup!
Never I forgot your concert at Kennedy Center in 1980. Bon chemin Monsieur Aznavour vers l'autre monde ou votre voix resonne intensement et reste toujours dans notre memoire.
Absolutely exquisite, written and sung by a Master. So very profound, thank you for all your wonderful songs. All carry a beautiful message of life and love.
This beautiful song could only have been written in an earlier age and sung by a singer from an earlier age. The words reflect the attempt during that time to convey life deeply and lyrically. This particular song is a masterpiece, both in the writing and the performing. It was a joy and a privilege to experience those years when there were people who were capable of expressing the pleasure and pain of life in such a moving and unforgettable way.
A Wonderfully Gifted Artist Whom My Dear Late Father Adored! This Is One Of My All Time Favourites! I Dedicate This Wonderful Song To Both Of My Amazing Parents Who Were Truly Wonderful And Were Very Special! All My Love To You Both My Darling Darling Parents And A Huge Thank You To You Both Too For Everything You Showed And Bestowed On Both Myself And My Dear Brothers! We Are Eternally Grateful And We Shall Never Forget You! You Were Truly Wonderful! All My Love To You Both. Carla X X X
Aznavour le grand de la chanson .....un bon acteur et qui a fini tranquillement et dignement entouré de ses potes Français et Arméniens ...Merci Charles !

Yes this song is so sweet and sad and beautiful ...I feel so moved and cry, cry silently ...😢😢😢

This is the song that explaines how I felt when I was 25, and how I feel now at 57. And it rips my heart out.

Totally agree. Charles Anavour and Shirley Bassey are the best for this song.
Agreed. Also, listen to Willie Nelson's version if you haven't heard it already.
שיר מרגש עד כדי דמעות.

He owns this song for all time.

Well, he wrote it, didnt he? 😊 but I agree- ive heard many renditions and his has the greatest emotional punch.
שיר קסום, אבא שלי כל שבת היה מכין ארוחת בוקר ושומע ושר את השירים של שארל זנאבור, גדול הזמרים,
שיר שאני מצליח ורוצה לבכות אני שם.
Maestro Aznavour, simply the greatest!
The more you grow older, the more you understand the song, with tears.
RIP Charles, thank you for all the great music, you will always be the smoothest Frenchman I can remember. God bless you. Big respect from this old Englishman.
The talent of this man in incomparable!! Rest In Peace, dear sir.
"The time has come for me to pay for yesterday.
When I was... young.
Young??
Young!
I love the subtly of putting the punctuation in the intonation of his voice, and saying the word "young" three different ways, so perfectly.
RIP Mr. Aznavour..... Thank you for your music...
This song is so lyrical, so beautiful, so emotional, that it is difficult to stay calm!
In old age comes the time for the failures of youth to pay...
But it's a beautiful song.
Always loved this song, but the lyrics become more real as you reach a certain age. No one else comes close in performing it, he puts such feeling into it, and the French accent makes it even more unique.
Would it be, could it be, the same without the french accent ? ;)
Exceptionally well stated!
Ilove this song and how Charles performans it's give feelings and "moviepicture "on my minde every time I fly to heven🇫🇮🥰❤👍
Es fantástico y único este astro de la canción.. ❤
Beautiful Charlie. Songs are no longer written like that, nor are they sung so sincerely. Thank you.
I’m 23, my Uber driver was playing this song and really enjoyed this song. Here I am days later listening to it once again.
He wrote it and his interpretation and phasing is exactly how it should be sung...Genius!
No
So beautfull and amazing song ever
A legend of true human feelings and wisdom, expressed with unique talent.. The world has lost greatly by your departure Mr. Aznavour. May you farewell in your new home..!

Now I live well and kids in private schools that take things for granted ~ unbeknown the sacrifices.
Sad that he is gone now but blessed that we have his songs to listen to for an eternity. Merci beaucoup pour le talent et la gentillesse
Beautiful song with very true words. Lovely to hear it again after so many years ❤️❤️❤️
Rest in piece maestro. You had amazing life full of happiness and disappointments. You found your unique way for expression of your emotions full of kindness and love. Every Armenian heart is crying for you.
Although I know that people like you just can’t belong to one nation because the love in you is global and you belong to the world, to everyone who is able to understand the dip love to the humanity that you had. but for us Armenians you will always stay as a part of us.
Charles Aznavour should have lived forever and our youth should last forever
I agree, it’s not fair that Charles has gone, and not fair that our youth has gone
The piano tune, at the crescendo, when he talks the words "young," puts me at such ease.
This is the most elegant sad song ever.
When I heard this song for the first time in 1970, it was Dad's song. Now I am the same age as he was then, and the song has become mine.
What wonderful words !!!!! I can not hold back the tears !!!!!!
me too..xx
It's one of those songs. Quite irresistible. He makes me cry as well.
You have a heart💖 x

Reflects with absolute clarity my own experience in life. Now at age 84 I see how truly these words fit my life. Forgive me Father.

Peter Hanlon Aznavour wrote all of his own songs (wrote more then 1.000 if i remember correctly)
@@oshin_aykaz6889 You're right. Aznavour wrote the song and Herbert Kretzmer wrote the English version.

Still sends shivers down my spine, RIP Charles x
His voice brings so much emotion and truth to these words.
It is so meaningful especially as you get older
It is a song I have listened to and will continue to listen to, no one else does it better
Yesterday when I was young
The taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue
I teased at life as if it were a foolish game
The way the evening breeze may tease a candle flame
The thousand dreams I dreamed, the splendid things I planned
I always built, alas, on weak and shifting sand
I lived by night and shunned the naked light of day
And only now I see how the years ran away
Yesterday when I was young
So many drinking songs were waiting to be sung
So many wayward pleasures lay in store for me
And so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see
I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out
I never stopped to think what life was all about
And every conversation I can now recall
Concerned itself with me, and nothing else at all
Yesterday the moon was blue
And every crazy day brought something new to do
I used my magic age as if it were a wand
And never saw the waste and emptiness beyond
The game of love I played with arrogance and pride
And every flame I lit too quickly, quickly died
The friends I made all seemed somehow to drift away
And only I am left on stage to end the play
There are so many songs in me that won't be sung
I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue
The time has come for me to pay for yesterday when I was young
🇦🇲անմահական ու անկրկնելի մեր հռչակ, մեր թանկագին Շառլ👏😘🙏🏻🇦🇲

Այսպիսի փոքր մարմնում այսքան մեծ սիրտ, որ ամբողջ աշխարհին է բավականացնում։ Հպարտ եմ, որ քո հայրենակիցն եմ ու ժամանակակիցը։ Արդեն մի քանի օր է, ինչ փորձում եմ մտաբերել Շառլ Ազնավուրի մեծությանն հավասար որևէ մեկի , չեմ կարողանում։ Որքան մեծ հմայք, ուժ, եռանդ, սեր, ջերմություն ու լույս կա այս փոքրիկ հսկայի աչքերում։ Ննջիր խաղաղությամբ, իմ պաշտելի Մաեստրո։
Ein wunderbarer Künstler und Mensch, seine Lieder können traurig aber auch so fröhlich sein- ich hoffe, er singt im Himmel weiter-
I am presuming this is Russian and if it is = welcome
Al je ups and down's en al je kansen en bedreigingen die je in leven hebt meegemaakt, klinken door in dit nummer. En er is maar één stem die daar bij hoort. Bedankt Meneer Aznavour.

Perhaps the most beautiful poetry ever put to music.
he sang that first when he was in his early 40s....today he is 50 years older and thankfully still with us...what did he think THEN and what does he think NOW about his song? i just wonder. a genius anyway, as an artist and a passionate, caring human being...there will never be another charles aznavourian...
This song and his own interpretation, is so bery touching. I wish thete could be mote of him in this terrible Trumpian age.
The world we grew up in meant something to us all - ask Mr. Aznavour.
MERSI! Thanks that you came to this world... You are one of the Greatest... You will stay with us forever with your songs and with your kindness....
What a voice! Timeless and immortal.
seni dinlemek beni bir başka zamana götürüyor..herşeyin güzel olduğu duygulu zamanlara.teşekkürler güzel insan..ışıklar içinde uyu..
Amin 🙏
Vandaag 1 oktober 2018 is onze grootste zanger overleden op 94 jarige leeftijd, het is stil in mijn hart, het is stil in mijn gedachten. Je bracht zoveel moois, een zanger waarmee ik opgroeide en groot ben geworden. Wat laat je een prachtig document zeg maar monument aan muziek na, rust zacht mooi mens
Dat is heel mooi gezegd !!
Mijn opa is 1 oktober 00.50 overleden, vandaag hebben we dit nummer op zijn crematie 2x ter gehoren gebracht. In het begin en op het laatst. Ik had het nummer nog nooit eerder gehoord, maar het ontroerde me meteen.
Al helemaal nu ik lees dat de zanger en mijn opa op dezelfde dag gestorven zijn.
Nog steeds....2 maanden na zijn overlijden op 1 oktober 2018 , luister ik zijn chansons. ....steeds meer...
Wat een groot verlies!
Maar wat een prachtige chansons heeft Charles Aznavour ons nagelaten!
Merci beaucoup!
So happy to have discovered Charles Aznavour about 2 years ago... What a talent... real, impactful music
Never I forgot your concert at Kennedy Center in 1980. Bon chemin Monsieur Aznavour vers l'autre monde ou votre voix resonne intensement et reste toujours dans notre memoire.
Absolutely exquisite, written and sung by a Master. So very profound, thank you for all your wonderful songs. All carry a beautiful message of life and love.
I listen this song more and more as I'm in my 60th and I feel sorry I didn'd do all Aznavour say he did in his youth!
Me to
What a Legendary Lyric ......I'm 65 ..years ...this is my life ...as it is for many of us ..in our later life .......😔😔😔
My god such powerful lyrics which when read very carefully make most of us feel like we are looking into a mirror.
What a beautiful song!! Gives me goosebumps!! Bravo Charles!!!👏👏💕💝
Music that touches your soul. Rest in peace
Our pride, the greatest Aznavour ❤️ rest in peace...
This beautiful song could only have been written in an earlier age and sung by a singer from an earlier age. The words reflect the attempt during that time to convey life deeply and lyrically. This particular song is a masterpiece, both in the writing and the performing. It was a joy and a privilege to experience those years when there were people who were capable of expressing the pleasure and pain of life in such a moving and unforgettable way.
A Wonderfully Gifted Artist Whom My Dear Late Father Adored! This Is One Of My All Time Favourites!
I Dedicate This Wonderful Song To Both Of My Amazing Parents Who Were Truly Wonderful And Were Very Special!
All My Love To You Both My Darling Darling Parents And A Huge Thank You To You Both Too For Everything You Showed And Bestowed On Both Myself And My Dear Brothers! We Are Eternally Grateful And We Shall Never Forget You! You Were Truly Wonderful! All My Love To You Both. Carla X X X
Oh what a wonderful man... You'll always stay within us with all the beautiful songs you gave us... Just like Leonard :( rest in peace, merci beaucoup
Meraviglioso, meraviglioso, meravigliosamente
Charles, che ogni volta che canti incanti.
GRAZIE MILLE VOLTE ,
No one will ever sing this song better than him.
A masterpiece of sorrow and truth.
Aznavour le grand de la chanson .....un bon acteur et qui a fini tranquillement et dignement entouré de ses potes Français et Arméniens ...Merci Charles !
