What Makes A Man (Comme ils disent) - Charles Aznavour[00:00:00]
My mum and I we live alone[00:00:11]
A great apartment is our home[00:00:14]
In Fairhome Towers[00:00:18]
I have to keep me company[00:00:23]
Two cats a dog a parakeet[00:00:25]
Some plants and flowers[00:00:29]
I help my mother with the chores[00:00:33]
I wash she dries I do the floors[00:00:36]
We work together[00:00:40]
I shop and cook and sow a bit[00:00:45]
Though mum does too I must admit[00:00:47]
I do it better[00:00:51]
At night I work in a strange bar[00:00:56]
Impersonating every star[00:00:58]
I'm quite deceiving[00:01:02]
The customers come in with doubt[00:01:06]
And wonder what I'm all about[00:01:09]
But leave believing[00:01:13]
I do a very special show[00:01:17]
Where I am nude from head to toe[00:01:20]
After stripteasing[00:01:24]
Each night the men look so surprised[00:01:28]
I change my sex before their eyes[00:01:31]
Tell me if you can[00:01:33]
What makes a man a man[00:01:35]
Around 3 o'clock or so I meet[00:01:41]
With friends to have a bite to eat[00:01:44]
And conversation[00:01:48]
We talk an empty out our hearts[00:01:52]
And every subject from the arts[00:01:55]
To liberation[00:01:59]
We love to pull apart someone[00:02:03]
And spread some gossip just for fun[00:02:06]
Or start a rumour[00:02:10]
We let our hair down so to speak[00:02:14]
And mock ourselves with tongue-in-cheek[00:02:17]
And inside humour[00:02:20]
So many times we have to pay[00:02:25]
For having fun and being gay[00:02:27]
It's not amusing[00:02:31]
There's always those that spoil our games[00:02:35]
By finding fault and calling names[00:02:38]
Always accusing[00:02:42]
They draw attention to themselves[00:02:46]
At the expense of someone else[00:02:49]
It's so confusing[00:02:52]
Yet they make fun of how I talk[00:02:56]
And imitate the way I walk[00:02:59]
Tell me if you can[00:03:02]
What makes a man a man[00:03:03]
My masquerade comes to an end[00:03:10]
When I go home to bed again[00:03:13]
Alone and friendless[00:03:17]
I close my eyes I think of him[00:03:21]
And fantasise what might have been[00:03:23]
My dreams are endless[00:03:27]
We love each other but it seems[00:03:31]
The love is only in my dreams[00:03:34]
It's so one sided[00:03:38]
But in this life I must confess[00:03:42]
The search for love and hapiness[00:03:44]
Is unrequited[00:03:47]
I ask myself what I have got[00:03:52]
And what I am and what I'm not[00:03:54]
What have I given[00:03:58]
But an answers come from those who make[00:04:02]
The rules that some of us must break[00:04:05]
Just to keep living[00:04:08]
I know my life is not a crime[00:04:13]
I'm just a victim of my time[00:04:15]
I stand defenceless[00:04:19]
Nobody has the right to be[00:04:23]
The judge of what is right for me[00:04:26]
Tell me if you can[00:04:28]
What make a man a man[00:04:30]
