Charles Aznavour-Com'è Triste Venezia
Charles Aznavour who is now 92 years old, will sing at the Arena di Verona on 14 September, in a very special show celebrating his life and music.
He may be French/Armenian but I thought you might enjoy his wonderful voice singing in Italian about Venice.
Com'è Triste Venezia
How sad Venice can be When you return alone And find a memory In a repaving stone I woke among the bird That fills in Marble Square With a quote of her words Around me in the air How sad Venice can be When the melodies play A song she sung for me One unforgotten day Like a magic sea The gondoliers go by But when I try to weep I find my tears are dry How sad Venice can be When mist is in your eyes And you can hardly see As visions fill the skies I find the little street
And then the old cafe Where we would always meet To dream away the day How sad Venice can be Beneath the sun's moon That rises from the sea And singles the moon I hear the vespers chime And cross the bridge of sun I know that it is time To bid my last goodbye There's nothing more to say I pass beneath the light And then I turn away From Venice in the night How sad Venice can be It's too lonely to bare When you have lost the love That you discovered there
