What makes a man a man (исполнитель: Charles Aznavour)
club13557299 My mum and I we live alone great apartment is our home In fairhome towers I have to keep [bad word] Two cats, a dog, a parakeet Some plants and flowers I help my mother with the chores I wash, she dries, I do the floors We work together I shop and cook and sew a bit Though mum does too I must admit I do it better At night I work in a strange bar Impersonating every star I'm quite deceiving The [bad word] in with doubt And wonder what I'm all about But leave believing I do a very special show Where I am nude from head to toe After stripteasing Each night the men look so surprised I change my before their eyes Tell me if you can What makes a man a man Round 3 o'clock or so I meet With friends to have a bite to eat And conversation We talk and empty out our hearts On every subject from the arts To liberation We love to pull apart someone And spread some gossip just for fun Or start [bad word] We let our hair down, so to speak And mock ourselves with tongue-in-cheek And inside humour So many times we have to pay For having fun and being [bad word] It's not amusing There's always those who spoil our games By finding fault and calling names Always accusing They draw attention to themselves At the expense of someone else It's so confusing Yet they make fun of how I talk And imitate the way I walk Tell me if you can What makes a man a man My [bad word] to an end And I go home to bed again Alone and friendless I close my eyes and think of him And fantasize what might have been My dreams are endless We love each other but it seems The love lives only in my dreams It's so one-sided But in this life I must confess The search for love and happiness Is unrequited I ask myself what have I got And what I am and what I'm not What am I giving The [bad word] from those who make [bad word] that some of us must break Just to keep living I know my life is not a crime I'm just a victim of my time I stand defenceless Nobody has the right to be The judge of what is right for me Tell me if you can What makes a man a man...
