this makes it hard for me to breathe....its so incredible, and true. And what a perfect gentleman with a perfect voice to tell this story. RIP charles.
This song reminds me of lost loved ones and also to have Respect and Love for your elders...They were in our shoes at one point... And we will either grow old and be in theirs or we will die young...Each day is a gift - Peace - Namaste
It is regrettable that we must age, and the only remnants of a happier time may be resurrected, if for only a few moments, in the duration of this song.....Tres Bon, Charles!
@sbijan666 I feel sorry for anyone that doesn't see the birth of life in every moment of its' death. The future is never to be discounted -or what point is there in our next breath?
@Isabel201171 acabo de escuchar esta cancion y comence a leer los comentarios y al hacerlo me recorde que vi a charles aznavour con marie laforet cuando llegaron a la paz, bolivia a filmar la pelicula "rata de america" y luego vi tu comentario....me quede mirando por unos instantes...es increible pero toda una vida a pasado desde ese tiempo...
how does he get such amazing nostalgie into his voice? is it his diction, his french accent that makes this version so unique? magnificnet. the final "young" gives one goose pimples
As an old man I can weep when I hear these words for so many of us do these same things with our lives. On the other hand when you are old and looking back it's often sad because you know you can never go back to those moments and friends have passed away. That's why we should treasure these moments. NOW is the essence.
@shamusoz you've hit the nial on the head there shamusoz i don't know how old you are but i'm now 6o and finally understand what oscar wilde meant when he said: "the tragedy is not that we are old but that we are young"
so many covers but only one voice sings the passion the writer intended. You all know the rest. Fabulous recording, thanks for sharing it with us all. Nick in London
I love the song and it's strange but I prefere I for this song the version in English. C'est drole, mais je prefere cette version en anglais! adoro a versao em ingles, estranho, naos ei porque. Esa canción la prefiero en ingles y no sé porque. n bene, no so preche ma me piace questa versione, moltisimo anque piu que l'latra, en francese...
lovely song, but you probably do have to be of a certain age before you fully appreciate it. but not only that, you must be living with regret at not fulfilling potintial when you had the tools (body) at your disposal too..
The moment you say that you have to be older to understand, is the moment you forgot how it was to be young. Because it isn't the number of years that you lived but the things you've done and experienced. Often this is almost equal, but many times not.
@amvslcvd No, I had my pain when I was young, but the pain of this song I didnt understand. I thought I could, but believe me: now I understand this song I can say it is a soft pain.
yesterday i may have been young but now is already the yesterday i'll reflect on when tomorrow comes. Wiser or older? Youth is all in the mind until the bits start to drop off :)
age doesn't matter...... how you live your life is...... spend our time as if it is the final second of living... enjoy life to the fullest every millisecond of it..... be happy : > )
Em 1981..comprei uma fita cassete de C.Aznavour..Fiquei apaixonado por essa canção..assim como , por La Boehme...Pois bem, só que minha grande paixão na época ,que fazia derreter-me de tanto ouvir e a ouvir essas canções, siquer notava a minha grande paixão por ela...COISAS DA VIDA.... Mas hoje e para sempre vou gostar e cada vez mais dessas duas lindas canções...
One of the most beautiful songs ever written. The poetry breaks you apart. Written in 1961, I see the inspiration Paul McCartney got for his song "Yesterday (life was such an easy game to play)" McCartney's are simple compared to this. Yesterday when I was young sounds like it was written on the caliber of Shakespeare. No one seems to notice the obvious connection to the Beatles "Yesterday?" and give credit to the original.
@whitesox2005ify So sad to hear you lost your wife. A sad song but true - so many wonderful memories, Livia knew the most wondertul thing on earth your love! Happy memories! Luv BB xx
@whitesox2005ify please be strong....I understand it is very hard to loose the closest person to you at such a young age.... Very very sad....January 9th is my birthday...but I was born a few years before your wife....
Some songs were meant to be sung by one artist, and one artist only. It is not to say that others who may sing it don't do a better job while doing it, it just means I cannot hear this song interpreted by anyone else but Charles. Be it in Italian, French, English, or else. This is Charles all the way.
@loverofthemilf I have to agree with you. Charles' accent and sometimes seemingly rushed pacing are a bit of a distraction for me, though I suppose someone who got "weaned" on his version would not find them a problem. Roy's version, IMHO, seems to let you pay attention to the lyrics and hear the message that they teach. It's not an easy song to listen to if you're self-centered. It invites some critical introspection, and I think Roy's version facilitates that a bit better.
I must say this dude has got big chunky hands. I placed my hand into his hand mould on the pavement in Cannes. Ok I know it's not a sentimental comment, but then again I'm not the sentimental and romantic type. However this is indeed a beautiful song and I might start crying if I drink another bottle of scrumpy cider.lol
The years run away so quickly! ;0) As long as we have memories and can recall them - listen to Charles, we are forever young and living life to the full!!
Charles, I have always wanted to tell you what an impact you have had on my life. I was in my teens when I fell in love with you and your music, have seen you many times over the years, am sixty five years old now and still play your songs constantly. I think I have them all. You are a true artist.
Charles, You, will be young forever, I loved you then and always will.!!! Saw you in Buenos Aires, Argentina, you still sexy and nice looking as always. blessings !!!
In my opinion, the message of this song can be appreciated most when you are on the sunset of your life, that all you have to do is reminisce the past especially during the time when your life is at its peak.
first time i her this song was by Roy Clark also nice but by Charles is more real and takes you back in your youth remembering many things where the world was much more secure relax with respect for all things the technology has made dangerous evil unfriendly unstable love for fellow men has cool of big time poor youth -in love with his i pot
this seems to be the best version of his own song that has been recorded and shown in youtube, much better in my humble opinion than his performance of the same in carnegie hall. thank you very much for posting.
Yesterday when I was young......but today when I am older I recall those beautiful sunny days filled with boyhood crushes on lovely girls in school....of a simpler America and a safer one too. Innocence abound and now as the autumn of my life approaches, it seems so sad but live is still beautiful. The world was a better place then and unfiortunately America enjoyed her best of times back then also. I shutter at what the future holds. Enjoy life to the fullest and keep chasing your dream..
This song makes me miss the "good young time" - but I lived! if I did the right choices or decision it was part of growing up and who I was at a certain time.
Yes and I was in tears, missing people who has left my life quietly or with a storm..
La gente noble pero sencilla, la gente genial pero humilde, aquella que nunca ha necesitado de mercadearse o publicitarse para ser reconocida, siempre será recompensada con la admiración perenne de la humanidad. Gracias Aznavour, por hacernos creer que el amor siempre será el mejor camino para que este mundo cambie para bien.
i'm italian and i prefer the italian version " ieri si da giovane" i was born in 1971 and this song remember me my father ...... when i was a child he alwas listen aznavur great version...
We should pay certain tribute here to Herbert Kretzmer for the wonderful translation of Aznavour's original brilliant score (Hier Encore) into English. Kretzmer's lyrics we are listening to here are a 'genial marriage' to the music of Charles Aznavour & Georges Garvarentz to become what we know as this beautifully moving song ..... "Yesterday When I Was Young."
This song makes me feel even more miserable each time I listen to it.
I know I don't have much to live as my heart is no longer strong enough. And life...
Life is such a film that you cannot re-wind and watch it again. All I could depend on is my tear drops, by which I hope my past might be reflected. YESSS-TER-DAAAAAYYY... WHEN I WAAAAAS YOUNG...
i agree... every time i listen to this song i always feel like i want to go back to where i used to get along with my old folks and enjoy life the way i want. i really miss them so much! i'm not old yet but i know i will, and when i,m old, how i wish i could still do the things i used to do with all of my friends and do it again for the very last time. this song makes my tears fall and think of what lies ahead of life....for me to make the most out of whats left for me. ;-)
@bloodsplurt007 I am with you. Everytime I listen to this song I must cry , makes me so sad, memories... loves... everyhing never comes back , enjoy life now !!!!!
Aznavour with his songs somehow always touches something very deep inside. He is the greatest, no doubt. As poet, as a singer, as a compoeser, as a person
"Le temps est venu pour moi de payer pour hier ..... Quand j'étais jeune, jeunes .... jeunes." Cette chanson, chantée par l'étonnant Charles Aznavour est important pour tout le monde de tous les âges. Vivre, d'aimer, rire et profiter de tous les jours, vous avez la chance d'avoir sur cette terre Malheureusement, vous n'aurez pas une deuxième chance. Bravo à l'étonnant Charles Aznavour.
Mon dieu, j'ai des frissons. Quelle interprétation émouvante de cette belle chanson! On peut sentir la tristesse d'Aznavour qui n'est pas artificielle, mais tout à fait authentique.
Great comments. At various moments in our lives we have such different perspectives--some which can't be understood until we are older...how true and how insightful.
A los jovenes un consejo vivian bien y aprovechen su juventud porque cuando uno llega a los 40 el dolor de no haber aprovechado lo bueno de la juventud pesa el resto de la vida.
Truly fantastic lyrics. This English version is not bad, but iIf you can read French, the words are even more poignant and better suited to the melody. Priceless.
@hommefriday that's one optimistic line. Comming from a tan go lover river plate native, I feel totaly realted to this lyric. Future is uncertain, happyness is always in the past, never in the future. By definition, present doesn't exist, nor does future, only past.
this makes it hard for me to breathe....its so incredible, and true. And what a perfect gentleman with a perfect voice to tell this story. RIP charles.

We should pay certain tribute here to Herbert Kretzmer for the wonderful translation of Aznavour's original brilliant score (Hier Encore) into English. Kretzmer's lyrics we are listening to here are a 'genial marriage' to the music of Charles Aznavour & Georges Garvarentz to become what we know as this beautifully moving song ..... "Yesterday When I Was Young."

This song makes me feel even more miserable each time I listen to it.
I know I don't have much to live as my heart is no longer strong enough. And life...
Life is such a film that you cannot re-wind and watch it again. All I could depend on is my tear drops, by which I hope my past might be reflected. YESSS-TER-DAAAAAYYY... WHEN I WAAAAAS YOUNG...

i agree... every time i listen to this song i always feel like i want to go back to where i used to get along with my old folks and enjoy life the way i want. i really miss them so much! i'm not old yet but i know i will, and when i,m old, how i wish i could still do the things i used to do with all of my friends and do it again for the very last time. this song makes my tears fall and think of what lies ahead of life....for me to make the most out of whats left for me. ;-)

Aznavour with his songs somehow always touches something very deep inside. He is the greatest, no doubt. As poet, as a singer, as a compoeser, as a person

"Le temps est venu pour moi de payer pour hier ..... Quand j'étais jeune, jeunes .... jeunes." Cette chanson, chantée par l'étonnant Charles Aznavour est important pour tout le monde de tous les âges. Vivre, d'aimer, rire et profiter de tous les jours, vous avez la chance d'avoir sur cette terre Malheureusement, vous n'aurez pas une deuxième chance. Bravo à l'étonnant Charles Aznavour.

Everyone thinks Charles is French and he is I guess...culturally. But he's an ethnic Armenian.
Thank goodness Attaturk and his pals didn't get their hands on Charles' forebears in 1915.

Mon dieu, j'ai des frissons. Quelle interprétation émouvante de cette belle chanson! On peut sentir la tristesse d'Aznavour qui n'est pas artificielle, mais tout à fait authentique.

When Roy Clark did this song, I was impressed...now, I'm smitten with the author of it...Charles...he emotes in a way that only the writer can do...
What a stylist..

Great comments. At various moments in our lives we have such different perspectives--some which can't be understood until we are older...how true and how insightful.

Truly fantastic lyrics. This English version is not bad, but iIf you can read French, the words are even more poignant and better suited to the melody. Priceless.

@hommefriday that's one optimistic line. Comming from a tan go lover river plate native, I feel totaly realted to this lyric. Future is uncertain, happyness is always in the past, never in the future. By definition, present doesn't exist, nor does future, only past.
