CHARLES AZNAVOUR: The Poet of Expression, the Linguist of Love

Today I very patiently cut, spliced and rearranged four different versions of Charles Aznavour's legendary English song "She"... in practically every language other than English!!! This video is to serve as a testament to Aznavour's uncanny ability to communicate the language of love, no matter who you are, where you're from, or what tongue you speak!

Lei, forse sarà la prima che
Io non potrò dimenticar,
la mia fortuna o il prezzo che
dovrò pagare.

Sie kann sein behutsam wie der Wind
sie kann verletzen wie ein Kind,
kann machen, dass mein Schmerz gerinnt
und jeder Tag sein der gelingt.

Es tan fuerte y débil a la vez,
Que me confunde, yo lo sé,
Y te confieso que lo es todo
para mí.

Toi, qui es ma joie et mon tourment,
Tantôt femme et tantôt enfant,
Tu offres à mon cœur chaque jour
Tous les visages de l'amour.

Moi, je suis le feu qui grandit ou qui meurt,
Je suis le vent qui rugit ou qui pleure,
Je suis la force
Ou la faiblesse

Es el horizonte donde hay que llegar,
Es la solución para poder amar,
Porque sin ella
No se puede estar.

Lei, a cui io non rinuncerei
Sopravvivendo accanto a lei,
ad anni combattuti
ed avversità.

Sie ist das Gedicht, dass man nie schreibt,
dass mir zu schreiben übrig bleibt,
dass etwas sagen müßte wie
ganz einfach nur: ich liebe sie.
Lei!
She.

thanks boleyok!!!

i am working on an even more amazing homage as we speak... but without patting myself on the back too much, this video is a tough act to follow! haha

glad to see a fellow Obama supporter, too! ;-)

Quite simply a "stupendous tribute" of a unique order not previously offered before here on Youtube!

This was a masterful collage of multiple languages blended seemlessly together in a marriage of German, French and Italian. Bravissimo Mr.Croat for your youthful creativity and fresh approach, to such a well known standard, for which Msgr. Charles has charted the world and sung for all of us, throughout these years!

100 stars for this masterpiece creation you have so carefully crafteed!

Having seen him many times over the years as he toured the US - I have become more appreciative of his "other" recordings. I cry no matter what the language. Fabulous!
