It is a very nice song, very well interpreted.. Keep in mind that, at the time of recording, homosexuality was still considered a mental illness in France (not up until 1981 was it not, and the "Register of Homosexuality" destroyed at the police department). Plus, Charles Aznavour was heterosexual, so double bravery for him to sing it, for it was not a common move to "advocate" for it when you were not "concerned" (I put a lot of " " because I'm not a native English speaker and I'm not sure I'm using the right words, but hopefully, everyone understands what I mean). Love your analysis, always. Keep up the good work. Xoxo.

Bonjour Dereck Merci pour ce tube de Charles aznavour, à l époque l homosexualité était un gros tabou, une France intolérante envers les homosexuel, mais Charles Aznavour, à souvent traité de sujet sensible avant les autres, il a une autre chanson intéressante mourir d aimer, tu crois que c est une simple chanson d amour, mais pas du tout il parlé d un grand scandale de l époque, où une professeur avait une relation avec un de ses élèves âgé de 20 ans, elle à était traînée en justice et condamné à la mort pour détournement de mineur, la majorité était de 21 ans, Charles en a fait une chanson très touchante, d ailleurs il avait des idées très modernes pour l époque, il ne comprenait pas pourquoi un homme âgé peut être avec une très jeune femme et que tout le monde trouve cela normal et l inverse n est pas accepté, grande ouverture d esprit cet homme et plus qu un chanteur, du texte, des histoires boulversantes et toujours chanté avec un côté acteur, merci Dereck de mettre la chanson française à l honneur, je vois que tu est sensible au made in France kiss you

Cette Professeure dont vous parlez n'a jamais été condamné à mort, il ne faut pas dire n'importe quoi, elle a été emprisonné à plusieurs reprise pour détournement de mineur (puisque majorité à 21 ans à l'époque), mais par contre elle a été tellement harcelé, tant par les parents du jeune homme, que de la justice et des médias, que n'en pouvant plus, elle a mis fin à ses jours. Et contrairement a ce que vous pouvez penser il y a eu beaucoup plus d'hommes que de femmes poursuivis pour détournement de mineurs en France, mais ce cas a été très médiatisé (surtout pour l'époque) du fait que c’était une prof et que l'opinion publique pensait que c'était encore plus immoral.

Simply, it is immediately easier with translator aplication !! 😉 I follow your channel with a lot of fervor because even if I don't understand what you say in each of your analyses, I realize that you are someone extremely sensitive and that's international. You who seem to like beautiful songs, I would like to bring you a suggestion. Can you make a video with "Louise" by Gérard Berliner? This beautiful song tells the story of a young girl working on a farm in the French countryside at the start of the First World War. With all due respect.. Eric from France..

As They Say lyrics by Charles Aznavour : I live alone with mom In a very old apartment Sarasat Street I have to keep me company One turtle, two canaries And a pussy To let mama rest Very often I shop And the kitchen I tidy up, I wash, I wipe On occasion I also sting By machine Work doesn't scare me I'm a bit of a decorator a bit of a stylist But my real job is at night That I exercise, transvestite I am an artist I have a very special number Which ends in full nude After striptease And in the room I see that Males can't believe their eyes I am a gay As they say Around three o'clock in the morning We are going to eat with friends Of all genders In any bar-tabac And there, we have a field day And without complex We unpack truths On people we have in the nose We stone them But we do it with humor Wrapped in puns Wet with acid We meet retards Who to impress their table Walk and wave Aping what they think we are And cover the poor fools ridiculous It gesticulates and speaks loudly It plays the divas, the tenors Stupidity Me the lazzis, the jeers Leave me cold since it's true I am a gay As they say When a new day is born I return to find my lot of loneliness I take off my eyelashes and my hair Like a poor unhappy clown Of weariness I go to bed but don't sleep I think of my joyless loves so derisory To this boy handsome as a god Who without doing anything set the fire In my memory My mouth will never dare tell him my sweet secret My tender drama Because the object of all my torments Spends most of his time To women's beds No one really has the right To blame me for judging me And I specify That it is nature that Is solely responsible if I am a gay As they say

J'avais entendu récemment la version de Pierre Lapointe accompagné d'une simple guitare. Merci Derek de m'avoir fait (re)découvrir qu'il s'agissait à l'époque d'une chanson du grand Charles Aznavour. Pierre Lapointe est aussi un bon chanteur et un bon pianiste qu'il faut écouter : j'adore sa chanson "Tous les visages". Dans un autre registre, son homonyme Bobby Lapointe est aussi un grand génie (certains disent même qu'il est l'inventeur du rap). C'est drôle car je viens de me rappeler que Charles Aznavour et lui ont joués ensemble dans un film ou Bobby chantait une de ses chansons...

I'm so glad that you reacted and loved this song, Dereck ! :) All along the song, Aznavour actually reframes the french term "homo". It means "gay" but at that time it was an insult and it still is for some people. So he splits it in two : homo = homme oh = man oh ... to be sure to recall everyone to the fact that a gay man is a man ! ;) And yes, Lara's interpretation is also something ! :)

Hello Dereck, the translation you had just omitted the most important word of the song, "i am a homo (sexual), as they say" and not a man. Much love from France .At the time this song really hit everyone's consciousness and sensitivity especially because of the picture of this sensible being that is drawn... and the last words..... "I precise, it's nature that made me this way, (I didn't choose it)". those last words really had a huge importance probably in helping the gay people to get more "indulgence" if we can say that. Because everybody knows that the core of the "problem" for people who don't understant "that".... it comes from nature simply not from will. I have to confess it personnally took me 40 years to really understand and I would say, even believe it and recognize it for "what" it is.... mother nature creating beings the way she wants

Possibly my favorite Aznavour song. Just brilliant. I love how much respect he shows in the song. How he presents this person with love and understanding. How he shows the hurt this person has to endure just because he is a "homo" (short in French for homosexual; it's the equivalent of "gay"; but depending on the tone you use when saying it, it can become more derogatory/intentionally hurtful.) It was a rare song at the time when he sang it. It wasn't popular then to advocate for an end to discrimination based on sexuality. He did it in the best way, by showing us that this person is just like everyone else. They are no more defined by their sexuality than heterosexual people are. It's the finger that others point that "makes" it into a problem. In the end, we all humans. Who cares about color, gender and all that stuff? If the planet blows, we'll all be skeletons - same state, same color, same death. Everything else is just noise.

Hello Dereck, As I said, the great Charles, you're guaranteed to have a job for a long time. So the next one should be "Emmenez-moi", I'm sure you'll enjoy it too. Thanks again for this reaction, it was perfect. A magic Saturday day/night for all of you, folks!

In another way, you must see Dalida Gigi l'amoroso, where she's a narrative.

Je suis un homme (in french) = I'm a man. Je suis un homme Oh = I'm a man Oh Je suis un homo = I'm an homosexual great song. I presume that he must had a lot of courage to song this song in 1972. I mean he was very famous, he was not afraid to put his carrer "in danger" for that. Now you must listen la mama of Charles

I was just thinking "a home movie in one song" when you said it. You're so right : great lyrics. This character he personalizes, at this time when he wrote this song, it is unbelievable. So brave, so clever, so sensitive !

La chanson française se distingue par un penchant à décrire la vie, à conter, à témoigner avec des textes percutants. On peut penser que la langue française, que la langue des Francs porte son nom, celui se rapportant à la franchise. 🤔

Although Charles Aznavour is more known as a singer, at first he wanted to become a comedian… and indeed he was. No wonder he was living his songs. Yves Montand was a bit like that too… but this latter is more known as a comedian.

This song is about the hard life of a "gay man", Homo" Homosexual "as they say". Incredible performance by Aznavour, incredible song for the 70's in France! What a man 👏👏❤️❤️❤️ the English version is "What makes a man a man". Marc Almond makes a cover of this song, like Liza Minnelli. Liza Minnelli is flawless. 👏
