《What Makes A Man》歌词

[00:00:00] What Makes A Man - Charles Aznavour (查尔斯·阿兹纳吾尔)

[00:00:12] 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

[00:00:34] 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

[00:00:48] 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

[00:00:59] Impersonating every star

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

[00:01:07] The customers come in with doubt

[00:01:10] And wonder what I'm all about

[00:01:13] But leave believing

[00:01:18] I do a very special show

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

[00:01:25] After stripteasing

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

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

[00:01:34] Tell me if you can

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

[00:01:42] At three o'clock or so I meet

[00:01:45] With friends to have a bite to eat

[00:01:49] And conversation

[00:01:53] We told to empty out our hearts

[00:01:56] On every subject from the arts

[00:02:00] To liberation

[00:02:04] We love to pull apart someone

[00:02:07] And spread some gossip just for fun

[00:02:10] Or start a rumor

[00:02:15] We let our hair down so to speak

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

[00:02:21] And inside humor

[00:02:26] So many times we have to pay

[00:02:28] For having fun and being gay

[00:02:32] It's not amusing

[00:02:36] There's always those that spoil our games

[00:02:39] By finding fault and calling names

[00:02:43] Always accusing

[00:02:47] They draw attention to themselves

[00:02:50] At the expense of someone else

[00:02:53] It's so confusing

[00:02:57] Yet they make fun of how I talk

[00:03:00] And imitate the way I walk

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

[00:03:04] What makes a man a man

[00:03:11] My masquerade comes to an end

[00:03:14] When I go home to bed again

[00:03:18] Alone and friendless

[00:03:22] I close my eyes I think of him

[00:03:25] I fantasize what might have been

[00:03:28] My dreams are endless

[00:03:32] We love each other but it seems

[00:03:35] The love is only in my dreams

[00:03:39] It's so one sided

[00:03:43] But in this life I must confess

[00:03:45] The search for love and happiness

[00:03:49] Is unrequited

[00:03:53] I ask myself what I have got

[00:03:56] Of what I am and what I'm not

[00:03:59] What have I given

[00:04:03] The answers come from those who make

[00:04:06] The rules that some of us must break

[00:04:10] Just to keep living

[00:04:14] I know my life is not a crime

[00:04:17] I'm just a victim of my time

[00:04:20] I stand defenseless

[00:04:25] Nobody has the right to be

[00:04:27] The judge of what is right for me

[00:04:30] Tell me if you can

[00:04:31] What makes a man a man
