Charles Aznavour - Paris during the month of August

Original Title: "Paris au mois d'août"
Music: Georges Garvarentz
Year: 1966
Song written by Aznavour for the movie "Paris au mois d'août", inspired from the book written by René Fallet.
An english adaptation exists, written also by Aznavour in 1967.

Swept away by September
Our love of one summer
Sadly dismembers itself
And dies in the past
No matter how I expected it
My heart emptied of everything
Looks suspiciously like
Paris during the month of August

Of tears and laughter
Our love was made
Which dreading the worse
Lived day by day
Every street, every stone
Seemed to belong only to us
We were alone on earth
In Paris during the month of August

To tell you I love you
As far away as you are
A part of myself
Stays attached to you
And the other part, solitary
Looks from everywhere
For the blinding light
Of Paris during the month of August

God make that my dream
To find back some
Of the month of August on your lips
Of Paris in your eyes
Shapes up and revives
Our slightly crazy love
So that everything begins again
In Paris during the month of August

Charles Aznavour - On my life

Original title: "Sur ma vie"
Year: 1956

On my life
One day, I've sworn to you
To love you until the last day of my days
And the same word,
Very soon, had to,
Unite us in front of God and men

On my life, I have sworm to you
That this bond will hold until the end of Times
This is how we were living
Drunk with passion
And my heart wanted to offer you my name

Close to the organs which were singing
In front of God who was praying
Happy, I was waiting for you
But the organs went silent
And God disappeared
Because you did not come

On my life....
I've sworm to you that my heart
Will never beat for another heart
And everything is lost
Because it is not beating anymore
But it's crying for my disappointed love

On my life...
One day, I've sworn to you
To love you until the last day of my days
And even now
I'll hold my oath
In spite of the hurt you inflicted me

On my life...
Honey...
I will love you.

Version of Les Compagnons de la Chanson:

Charles Aznavour - From now on

Original Title: "Désormais"
Year: 1969

From now on, we won't be seen together anymore
From now on, my heart will live under the rubbles
Of this world which looks like us
And which has been devastated by time

From now on, my voice won't say "I love you" anymore
From now on, I who wanted to become your shadow
I'll be the shadow of my own self
My hand separated from your hand

Never more, will we bite the same fruit
Will we sleep in the same bed
Will we do the same gestures
Never more, will we know the same fear
To see our happiness flee
And incidentally...From now on.

From now on, people will see us one without the other
From now on, we will change our habits
And those words I believed ours
You will tell them between other arms

From now on, I will keep my door closed
From now on, locked in my loneliness
I'll hang out among things
Which will still be talking about you

Never more, will we bite the same fruit
Will we sleep in the same bed
Will we do the same gestures
Never more, will we know the same fear
To see our happiness flee
And incidentally...From now on.

We won't be seen together anymore
We won't be seen together anymore

Live version:

Charles Aznavour - To die of loving

Original Title: "Mourir d'aimer"
Year: 1971

The walls of my life are smooth
I hang onto them but I slide
Slowly toward my fate
To die of loving

While the world is judging me
I can only see one shelter for me
Any exit being locked up to me
To die of loving

To die of loving
Willingly sinking into the night
Pay love at the cost of one's life
Sin against the body but not against the mind

Let's leave the world to its problems
Hateful people to face themselves
With their narrow ideas
To die of loving

As our love can't live
Better then to close its book
And rather than burn it
To die of loving

To leave while lifting your head up
Coming out victorious from a defeat
Reversing all the data
To die of loving

To die of loving
As we can of anything
Abandon everything behind us
To only take away what was us, what was you

You are the spring, I the fall
Your heart is taken away, mine is given
And my road already marked out
To die of loving
To die of loving
To die of loving

Charles Aznavour - Stay

Original Title: "Reste"
Year: 1965

Stay
Stay some more
With me
Over my body
In my arms
Embraced
Out of breath
Assuaged
Dazed
Stay in the warmth
Languid
In the enclosure
Of the night.
Over my heart
Without modesty
Passionate
Almost naked
Stay like that
Hungry for more
Over my life
Between my hands
Hair in a mess
possessed
stretched out
relaxed
Stay there
Without a word
On your joy
Over my skin
In hope
In the dark
Up to the morning
My love

Charles Aznavour - And yet

Original Title: "Et pourtant"
Year: 1963

One fine morning, I know that I will wake up
Differently than any other day
And my heart finally freed from our love
And yet, And yet

Without a remorse, without a regret
I will leave, straight in front of me
Without any hope of return
Far from the eyes, far from the heart
I will forever forget
And your body, and your arms and your voice,
My love

And yet, yet
You are the only one I love
And yet, yet
You are the only one I love
And yet, yet
You are the only one I love
And yet

I will tear, without a tear, without a shout
The secret links that are tearing my skin up
Freeing me from you to find rest
And yet, And yet

I will walk toward other skies, other countries
While forgetting your cruel coldness
The hands full of love, I will offer to happiness
And the days, and the nights, and the life
Of my heart

And yet, yet
You are the only one I love
And yet, yet
You are the only one I love
And yet, yet
You are the only one I love
And yet

I will eventually have to find my reason back,
my lack of concern and my fits of joy
To leave forever, escaping from you
And yet, And yet

In other arms, when I will forget up to your name
When I will be able to rethink the future
You will become for me just a distant memory
When my sorrow, and my fear and my cries
Will end

And yet, yet
You are the only one I love
And yet, yet
You are the only one I love
And yet, yet
You are the only one I love
And yet
