Chanson Française


Born in 1924 in the French capital, Mr. Charles Aznavour is probably the most best-known French singer in the world and he has built his reputation around his unique tenor voice. He wrote more than 800 songs in French, Spanish, English and even German during his entire career.

The following song, "Hier encore" (Yesterday when I was young for the English version) was released in 1964 and is definitely one the best song he ever made.

This chanson has been introduced to me by one of my best friend and according to him, the song represents perfectly the vieille France. I will let you be the judge.
