What Makes A Man - Charles Aznavour (查尔斯·阿兹纳吾尔)[00:00:00]

My mum and I we live alone[00:00:12]

A great apartment is our home[00:00:15]

In Fairhome Towers[00:00:19]

I have to keep me company[00:00:23]

Two cats a dog a parakeet[00:00:26]

Some plants and flowers[00:00:30]

I help my mother with the chores[00:00:34]

I wash she dries I do the floors[00:00:37]

We work together[00:00:40]

I shop and cook and sow a bit[00:00:45]

Though mum does too I must admit[00:00:48]

I do it better[00:00:52]

At night I work in a strange bar[00:00:56]

Impersonating every star[00:00:59]

I'm quite deceiving[00:01:03]

The customers come in with doubt[00:01:07]

And wonder what I'm all about[00:01:10]

But leave believing[00:01:13]

I do a very special show[00:01:18]

Where I am nude from head to toe[00:01:21]

After stripteasing[00:01:25]

Each night the men look so surprised[00:01:29]

I change my sex before their eyes[00:01:32]

Tell me if you can[00:01:34]

What makes a man a man[00:01:35]

At three o'clock or so I meet[00:01:42]

With friends to have a bite to eat[00:01:45]

And conversation[00:01:49]

We told to empty out our hearts[00:01:53]

On every subject from the arts[00:01:56]

To liberation[00:02:00]

We love to pull apart someone[00:02:04]

And spread some gossip just for fun[00:02:07]

Or start a rumor[00:02:11]

We let our hair down so to speak[00:02:15]

And mock ourselves with tongue-in-cheek[00:02:17]

And inside humor[00:02:21]

So many times we have to pay[00:02:26]

For having fun and being gay[00:02:28]

It's not amusing[00:02:32]

There's always those that spoil our games[00:02:36]

By finding fault and calling names[00:02:39]

Always accusing[00:02:43]

They draw attention to themselves[00:02:47]

At the expense of someone else[00:02:50]

It's so confusing[00:02:53]

Yet they make fun of how I talk[00:02:58]

And imitate the way I walk[00:03:00]

Tell me if you can[00:03:03]

What makes a man a man[00:03:04]

My masquerade comes to an end[00:03:11]

When I go home to bed again[00:03:14]

Alone and friendless[00:03:18]

I close my eyes I think of him[00:03:22]

I fantasize what might have been[00:03:25]

My dreams are endless[00:03:29]

We love each other but it seems[00:03:33]

The love is only in my dreams[00:03:35]

It's so one sided[00:03:39]

But in this life I must confess[00:03:43]

The search for love and happiness[00:03:45]

Is unrequited[00:03:49]

I ask myself what I have got[00:03:53]

Of what I am and what I'm not[00:03:56]

What have I given[00:03:59]

The answers come from those who make[00:04:04]

The rules that some of us must break[00:04:06]

Just to keep living[00:04:10]

I know my life is not a crime[00:04:14]

I'm just a victim of my time[00:04:17]

I stand defenseless[00:04:21]

Nobody has the right to be[00:04:25]

The judge of what is right for me[00:04:27]

Tell me if you can[00:04:30]

What makes a man a man[00:04:31]
