Aznavour has sung for presidents, popes and royalty, as well as at humanitarian events. In response to the 1988 Armenian earthquake, he founded the charitable organization Aznavour for Armenia along with his long-time friend impresario Levon Sayan. In 2009, he was appointed ambassador of Armenia to Switzerland, as well as Armenia's permanent delegate to the United Nations at Geneva. On 24 August 2017, Aznavour was awarded the 2,618th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. On 17 September 2018, his last concert took place in NHK Hall, Tokyo.
Charles Aznavour died on 1 October 2018.
Charles Aznavour was perhaps the best-known French music hall entertainer in the world -- renowned the world over for the bittersweet love songs he has written and sung, which seem to embody the essence of French popular song, and also for his appearances on screen in such wildly divergent fare as Shoot the Piano Player, Candy, and The Tin Drum. His status as the quintessential French popular culture icon is something of an irony for a man who identifies himself most closely with his Armenian heritage. His father was a singer and sometime-restaurateur, while his mother was an actress and part-time seamstress. His father's singing, done in a notably impassioned style, heavily influenced Aznavour's approach to singing as a boy. Although he had a voracious appetite for music, he also had a serious impediment growing up, in the form of a paralyzed vocal cord that gave his voice a raspy quality. He channeled some of his energy into theater, making both his stage and screen debuts at age nine, in 1933, in the theater piece Un bon petit diable and in the film La guerre des gosses. As an adolescent, he danced in nightclubs and sold newspapers, as well as touring with theatrical companies, and he wrote a nightclub act in partnership with Pierre Roche -- Aznavour wrote the lyrics to their songs and it was through that material that he began his singing career. Early on, he learned to overcome his fears about his vocal limitations, in part with help from singing legend Édith Piaf, for whom he worked as a chauffeur, among other capacities; with her help, he developed a style that suited his capabilities and played to his strengths and also continued writing songs in earnest, some of which were performed by Piaf.
His success came very slowly, however. Aznavour at first found some difficulty being accepted as a composer in France or anywhere else. His compositions, although considered tame by any modern standard, were regarded as too risqué for French radio and were banned from the airwaves for a decade or more, from the late '40s through the end of the 1950s; American publishers seemed equally reticent about them, as he discovered on a visit to New York in 1948. That trip did yield his first performing engagement in the city, however, at the Cafe Society Downtown in Greenwich Village. For the next decade, Aznavour made his living as a performer in second-tier clubs and middle- or bottom-of-the-bill berths on three continents. His mix of daringly original and frank love songs, coupled with a limited but very expressive singing style, left audiences somewhat bewildered at first.
His breakthrough came in 1956, during a vaudeville engagement in Casablanca, where the audience reaction was so positive that Aznavour was moved to headliner status. After this, it became easier for the singer to find better engagements in France; by 1958 he even had a recording contract. He made his screen debut that same year in a dramatic role, playing an epileptic in George Franju's La tête contre les murs. He also composed music for Alex Joff's Du rififi chez les femmes in 1958; From there, he moved on to bigger roles in better movies, including Jean Cocteau's Testament of Orpheus and Francois Truffaut's Shoot the Piano Player. The latter movie turned Aznavour into a screen star in France and opened the way for his breakthrough in America. He sang at Carnegie Hall in the early '60s and followed this up in 1965 with a one-man show, The World of Charles Aznavour, at the Ambassador Hotel in New York, which drew rave notices from audiences and critics alike. By that time, the once-struggling singer had secured his first American LP release with the similarly titled album The World of Charles Aznavour on Reprise Records, the label founded and run by Frank Sinatra.
Aznavour would be the last to compare himself with those whom he regards as truly gifted vocalists, such as Sinatra and Mel Tormé, preferring to think of himself as a composer who also happens to sing. His style of performing has been compared variously to Maurice Chevalier and Sinatra and has remained enduringly popular for four decades. Almost all of Aznavour's songs deal with love and its permutations, running the gamut from upbeat, joyous pieces such as Après l'amour and J'ai perdu la tête to the dark-hued J'en déduis que je t'aime and Bon anniversaire. A teetotaler and a racing car enthusiast, Aznavour has been married three times and has four children.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On ne nous verra plus ensemble
Désormais
Mon cœur vivra sous les décombres
De ce monde qui nous ressemble
Et que le temps a dévasté
Désormais
Ma voix ne dira plus je t'aime
Moi qui voulais être ton ombre
Je serai l'ombre de moi-même
Ma main de ta main séparée
Jamais plus
Nous ne mordrons au même fruit
Ne dormirons au même lit
Ne referons les mêmes gestes
Jamais plus
Ne connaîtrons la même peur
De voir s'enfuir notre bonheur
Et du reste
Désormais
Désormais
Les gens nous verrons l'un sans l'autre
Désormais
Nous changerons nos habitudes
Et ces mots que je croyais nôtres
Tu les diras dans d'autres bras
Désormais
Je garderai ma porte close
Désormais
Enfermé dans ma solitude
Je traînerai parmi les choses
Qui parleront toujours de toi
Jamais plus
Nous ne mordrons au même fruit
Ne dormirons au même lit
Ne referons les mêmes gestes
Jamais plus
Ne connaîtrons la même peur
De voir s'enfuir notre bonheur
Et du reste
Désormais
On ne nous verra plus ensemble
On ne nous verra plus ensemble
On ne nous verra plus ensemble
The song "Désormais" by Charles Aznavour is a melancholic ballad about a couple who are no longer together. The lyrics express a sense of finality and acceptance that the two will never be reunited. The song begins with the singer stating that from now on, they will no longer be seen together, and his heart will be buried under the ruins of a world that they once shared but that time had destroyed. He goes on to say that his voice will no longer say "I love you," and he will be the shadow of himself, separated from his former love.
The chorus of the song, which repeats the phrase "Jamais plus" (never again) emphasizes the finality of the breakup. The singer mentions how they will never share the same bed or bite into the same fruit. He also recognizes that they will never experience the same fear of losing their happiness again.
The final verse of the song emphasizes the separation between the two, both physically and emotionally. They will be seen apart by others, they will change their habits, and the words that the singer once thought belonged to them will be spoken by his former lover in someone else's arms. The song ends with a repetitive statement that they will no longer be seen together.
Overall, "Désormais" is a heartfelt look at the end of a relationship and the acceptance that comes with it.
