《What Makes A Man (Comme ils disent)》歌词

[00:00:00] What Makes A Man (Comme ils disent) - Charles Aznavour

[00:00:11] My mum and I we live alone

[00:00:14] A great apartment is our home

[00:00:18] In Fairhome Towers

[00:00:23] I have to keep me company

[00:00:25] Two cats a dog a parakeet

[00:00:29] Some plants and flowers

[00:00:33] I help my mother with the chores

[00:00:36] I wash she dries I do the floors

[00:00:40] We work together

[00:00:45] I shop and cook and sow a bit

[00:00:47] Though mum does too I must admit

[00:00:51] I do it better

[00:00:56] At night I work in a strange bar

[00:00:58] Impersonating every star

[00:01:02] I'm quite deceiving

[00:01:06] The customers come in with doubt

[00:01:09] And wonder what I'm all about

[00:01:13] But leave believing

[00:01:17] I do a very special show

[00:01:20] Where I am nude from head to toe

[00:01:24] After stripteasing

[00:01:28] Each night the men look so surprised

[00:01:31] I change my sex before their eyes

[00:01:33] Tell me if you can

[00:01:35] What makes a man a man

[00:01:41] Around 3 o'clock or so I meet

[00:01:44] With friends to have a bite to eat

[00:01:48] And conversation

[00:01:52] We talk an empty out our hearts

[00:01:55] And every subject from the arts

[00:01:59] To liberation

[00:02:03] We love to pull apart someone

[00:02:06] And spread some gossip just for fun

[00:02:10] Or start a rumour

[00:02:14] We let our hair down so to speak

[00:02:17] And mock ourselves with tongue-in-cheek

[00:02:20] And inside humour

[00:02:25] So many times we have to pay

[00:02:27] For having fun and being gay

[00:02:31] It's not amusing

[00:02:35] There's always those that spoil our games

[00:02:38] By finding fault and calling names

[00:02:42] Always accusing

[00:02:46] They draw attention to themselves

[00:02:49] At the expense of someone else

[00:02:52] It's so confusing

[00:02:56] Yet they make fun of how I talk

[00:02:59] And imitate the way I walk

[00:03:02] Tell me if you can

[00:03:03] What makes a man a man

[00:03:10] My masquerade comes to an end

[00:03:13] When I go home to bed again

[00:03:17] Alone and friendless

[00:03:21] I close my eyes I think of him

[00:03:23] And fantasise what might have been

[00:03:27] My dreams are endless

[00:03:31] We love each other but it seems

[00:03:34] The love is only in my dreams

[00:03:38] It's so one sided

[00:03:42] But in this life I must confess

[00:03:44] The search for love and hapiness

[00:03:47] Is unrequited

[00:03:52] I ask myself what I have got

[00:03:54] And what I am and what I'm not

[00:03:58] What have I given

[00:04:02] But an answers come from those who make

[00:04:05] The rules that some of us must break

[00:04:08] Just to keep living

[00:04:13] I know my life is not a crime

[00:04:15] I'm just a victim of my time

[00:04:19] I stand defenceless

[00:04:23] Nobody has the right to be

[00:04:26] The judge of what is right for me

[00:04:28] Tell me if you can

[00:04:30] What make a man a man
