Charles*: You Sang ‘She’
I will sing ‘He’
He, he is the man
I can’t forget
The genes that I carry
Without regret.
He never left treasures,
What he worked for.
Gone with the wind—
No trace left.
But He left
His smile,
Endlessly gracing
My fiery hart.
He was a saint
‘Unnamed’
I never felt
Like his daughter.
Now I am rich
With a poetic hart
For him I search
But cannot find.
I want to tell
How much I loved him.
When I was young
I never knew
His Harted-Mind
So wonderful,
So kind.

* Charles Aznavour’s Birthday: May 22
And My father’s Birthday Krikor Portoian, November 7, 1907
Wishing for Charles long Life …
I have loved Charles Aznevour Songs ever since I was a young teenager.One of my favorites is “Dance in the old fashioned way”.I live in Melbourne and before I migrated to Melbourne I always thought Charles was French! I have a very close friend in Melbourne who is Armenian and he told me Charles is Armenian! he really does have a soothing voice which is Timeless and has done both France and Armenia proud.

Happy Birthday Mr. Charles Aznevour.

Le petit Charles*as he was dubbed,during Charles De Gaul life, has indeed done a great service to us Armenians,by making Armenians known as such all over the globe.
As to his career and song writing-besides singing- is to be esteemd as one of the best ,if not the Best Chansonnier of his time!!!
Vive le petit Charles, Vive La France and vive le petit Armenie!!!
I may yet through friend, try to reach him to do yet another great job by uniting our magnatges to invest in a NATIONAL INVESTMENT TRUST FUND/FOUNDATION IN GENEVA,CH
With best wishes to His Excellency the Armneian Ambassador to CH
