Mes emmerdes (a tribute to Charles Aznavour)

[Janpol1953]

A tribute to Charles Aznavour, a French singer who has passed away.
He was a little man, but a giant singer. I saw him on stage in the 80s for his farewells... and 25 years later he continued to sing... You can't stop like that when the song represents your whole life... Rest in peace Charles Aznavour.
Here, one of his most famous song where he speaks of friends, love, and troubles

The lyrics translation

I've been working,
Years of experience
Without respite,
Day and night
To succeed,
To climb up
The summit
By forgetting
Often in
My race against time
My friends, my loves, my troubles

Lost and Found
I ran
Thirsty
Stubborn
Towards the horizon
The illusion
Towards the abstract
By sacrificing
It's heartbreaking.
I now accuse myself of that.
My friends, my loves, my troubles

My friends, it was all shared.
My loves made love very well
My troubles were those of our age
Where money is a pity
Spurred our days

To be proud of myself
I am proud of myself
Between us
I confess it.
I made my life
But there are
To a "but"...
I would give
What I have
To find it, I admit it.
My friends, my loves, my troubles

My relationships
Are
Highly placed
Decorated
Influential
Bedonnantes
Good people
They're serious about it.
But near them
I always regret
My friends, my loves, my troubles

My friends were carefree
My love had a burning body
My shit today when I think about it
Were of little importance
And these were the good times.
The hoaxes
Firecrackers
The madnesses
The orgies
The days of the bac
The brandy
The choruses
Anything that does
I know that.
That I will never forget
My friends, my loves, my troubles

Very smooth and you make it look easy!

I saw Charles Aznavour too at an airport, probably in the 70s as I was quite young at the time.
