Charles Aznavour "Yesterday When I Was Young"

"Hier Encore" is a song released in 1961, written by Charles Aznavour and Georges Garvarentz. It was subsequently released in English (Yesterday When I Was Young), Italian (Ieri Si), and Spanish (Ayer Aún). It is considered one of Aznavour's greatest hits.



Aznavour (May 22, 1924, Paris) is an Armenian-French singer, songwriter, actor and public activist. Besides being one of France's most popular and enduring singers, he is also one of the most well-known singers in the world. He is known for his characteristic short figure and unique tenor[2] voice; clear and ringing in its upper reaches, with gravely and soulful low notes. He has appeared in more than 60 movies, composed about 1000 songs (including at least 150 in English, 100 in Italian, 70 in Spanish, and 50 in German[3]), and sold well over 100 million records.[4]

In 1998, Charles Aznavour was chosen as Entertainer of the Century by CNN and users of Time Online from around the globe. He was recognized as the century's outstanding performer, with nearly 18% of the total vote, edging out Elvis Presley and Bob Dylan.

Aznavour started his global farewell tour in late 2006.

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.

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!
