- It’s a huge privilege for the Aznavour family Mister Willie Nelson for you to have covered his song on your new Album ‘’First Rose Of Spring.’’
He would have been very honored. Merci.❤️
Mister Roy Clark was the first Country Singer In America who covered this song, year 1969. Peace to his soul.❤️ - Zábava
If this man has not received a Kennedy Center Honnor Award, there is something very wrong with this country .
He did years ago
1998 , long time ago
❤❤❤❤
Wishing you infinite love, blessings and miracles filled with more joy, compassion, love, forgiveness and peace within you and ultimately on earth 🌎 ✨️ ❤️ Louise
Saudade maravilha que melodia
Happy Birthday Willie. We need you here more than heaven does. There are plenty up there to keep the music alive.
Je suis d'accord avec vous ils y'a tellement d'artistes de tallent qui nous ont quitter 😢
It is an honor for the memory of Charles Aznavour and for us French who will adore him. Your interpretation is masterfully touching and moves me to tears. You are a great among the great. Thank you, Mr. Willie Nelson.
André from france.
I could not agree with you more.
something is just too awesome and shakespearean in the lyrics for me to ascribe to an American country western song writer....and today I learned about Charles Aznavour. What an amazing person!! I feel like I had intuited something....
Bien dit!
Tout le monde aime Aznavour. Moi aussi ici en Bresil.
@@tube.brasil Obrigado!
This beautiful, poignant song reminds me of the saying, "Inside every old person is a young person saying, 'what happened?'
Indeed!!
Yesterday, I moved into a Retirement Community. I woke up today & thought how did I get here.
My favorite : " Who's that little old lady / man in the mirror ?! " :)
@@uwsgrrrl9981 On a brighter note : You SURVIVED !!! :)
And somehow today's young people seem to think it's not going to happen to them
I have heard this song sung so many times by many Great Artists, but Willi's rendition and voice has brought the real picture out what this great artist, writer Charles Aznavour was expressing either of himself or someone he knew. Certainly made me stop and reflect. It brought tears like rain to my eyes. There are many great songs , but Yesterday is a song of not just a moment or event, but of a whole life. All walks of life. This song will be sung and heard till the end of time. Thanks to Seda for the presentation in this video and for Willie's Great Rendition. Very powerful. I don't know what else to say. This writer said it all. Tears and Love
Agree, Willie's version is pure and believable
Nice take!!
Willie is the oldest singer who sang this song, for this reason, he has a lot to tell. Bravo to the Aznavour family for appreciating Willie Nelson's version.
He is no Johnny Cash or Kris. He is not even an Athro Guttrie or Marty Robbins.
@@Deontjie Depends what experience you are after
Willie - we've met in Terlingua. Alice was ill - and you went with your guys to her bedroom to sing for her I love you!
@Willie Nelson 🔵 woooooooeh! The real WILLIE!!!!
I grew up around Terlingua in the late 60’s and early 70’s beautiful place, the camaraderie, we used to drive from Eagle Pass and my favorite thing was to stay in the ranch house.
Oh, realy?? And after that Alice get back well and ready for The music?
@@LorenahijadeDios64 Dear Lorena kind greeting to you. I growth up in mid 50 and did not learn English until 1983 when I leave my home country then baptized to Christ love as a Christian and Since then I am a stateless person among this people call them self Christian not by their heart!
Every time I listen to this song my heart heavily get it pain and I get lost in time as I see my time is near to leave this body.
@@tipsywizard7865 Christ Teach us not to Judge anyone!
At 61 this song now just feels so real
Willie’s magic is that with age his interpretations of songs hit your heart and you feel what is meant.
I’m transported to the times when we’re care-free , young and so innocent! Love you Willie. Thank you…. Somehow , you eased my world!
Nous avons le même ressentie il me rappelle les bonnes années bientôt 70 ans et déçu de ce que devient le monde ,ce n'est plus notre siècle 😪
This cover is the first time I've actually "Listened to the Lyrics".
The Feeling in this cover gets Deep into your heart.
"I" REALLY associate with what this song says.
At 67 yrs old, handicapped and widowed, the words REALLY hit home.
GREAT cover as only Willie Nelson could do, Roy would be proud of you sir. Super fan 🤠😍
♥️
Big hug!!!
Mark, you have my thoughts as well. Sounds daft, but some songs, although sad in their way, ‘cheer’ you to some degree? I’m on your side Chap.
You're not alone
Willie, your rendition of this song is absolutely fantastic. It is one of my favourite songs of all time.
What a magnificent face, what a magnificent voice! Willie Nelson is country music's numero uno!
How about a little love for Roy Clark who made this song a hit in the U.S. in '75.
To Charles Aznavour too who wrote this song and sang it in French first: hier encore
@@nassermoussaoui8931 It is right to remember some american hits are from french songs. So is ¨My Way¨ (Comme d'habitude de Claude François) with Franck Sinatra, or ¨The Yellow Rose of Texas¨ (Je m'en vais revoir ma blonde...an old french song of the 1915 something)...
Sorry, ¨Je vais revoir ma blonde¨ (The yellow rose of Texas) was in 1956 ! Composed by Jacques Plante, music by Don George.
I first heard him around 1969, if I remember correctly! But whatever the case, I've loved it from the beginning!
@@c.danjou7343 let it be me , also a french song by gilbert becaud.
I listen to Willie sing this song tonight and it touched my soul he was the right person for that song thank you so much
Hello there Sharon nice meeting you here
Thanks... where are you chatting from
BULL.
@@Willeneilson2:24 ❤❤😂😂❤
c'est magnifique le regard triste des personnes agées.
Oh wow.. I am perplexed, I never though anyone could ever cover this song, it was so beautiful 😍 love you Willie, well done ❤
Hello 👋 Evelyne
it's a beautiful emotion...that can always be covered,,,,
I love Willie but listen to Roy Clark and you will appreciate it
Evelyn’s Robinson. Nobody sings this like Willie Nelson. ❤
ROY CLARK COVERED IT OR MAYBE HE WROTE IT
So beautiful. Willie can do things with his voice that no one else can. He feels every note and every word, too. Love.
Thanks... where are you chatting from
❤ I feel like you
I am 83 and saw the concert for Willy 90th birthday, and that song was the best I have heard, it’s so true I think back when I was young ❤❤🙏🙏🇬🇧
Hello,how are you doing today,I hope you are having a beautiful day?
Willie has gone down many roads but he always comes back to us. He may not know it but he belongs to us.
This is the most beautiful version of this song I ever heard. A haunting melody and lyrics. Willie sung this beautifully.
Oh yes he did. This is one of my favorite songs. It really makes us ponder our own mortality. I love the way Charles Aznavour sings it with so much pathos. This is a very haunting rendition by Willie though. Bravo.
He knows the truth of growing old, and wasted years †hat should be gold, but thrown away as most of us, not knowing life is only dust.
YOU NEVER HEARD ROY CLARK DO THIS ITS EQUAL TO THIS DONE EXACTLY THE SAME WAY
Essa é a mais linda versão da música do também gênio Charles Aznavour.
❤ Reality of life
He's the only one I can think of who can sing this song the way it should be. He has lived every bit of this. But oh what a ride he's had.
I love you Willie Nelson. Please stay with us another 100 yers. God bless.
Don't be surprised ok, it's true I don't usually do this. But the pandemic has really tore everything apart leaving lots of people depressed and sad. That's why am pasting my personal email address here via: willienelson00125@gmail.com to enable you share your opinions about my songs or send personal message you wish to share with me. I can't still appreciate everyone of you enough for the unconditional love and massive supports ❤️ it's because of you am here today. I hope you won't stop listening and supporting my songs.
merveilleuse chanson de Charles AZNAVOUR !!!!!!!
I have many more years behind me than ahead. Never thought I'd make it this far when I was a younger man. Thank you Jesus for bringing through a heart attack and Cancer but most of all through all the stupid things I did that could have taken my life as well. Blessed and still looking ahead and remembering what's behind to always be grateful for every new day and every breath you've given me beyond my sins and foolishness. Thanks be to the Father for having Willie remind me. In Jesus name, Amen.
I'm not a Christian, but I love Jesus, and I love you.
Peace to you, my friend.
@@DrJohn-rl9zg That's very kind of you. God bless and be well.
Aznavour was a great talent and he sang the song in an amazing manner. Willie Nelson made it his own, in a different way. Amazing song, two talent singers. We should listen to this song when we're young, not when we're old and have learnt the lesson and lived the song
There are so many versions of this song sung by different singers. In my view Willie's is the best. No yelling, no complaining about life, but a deep soul searching what life is. It is an introspecting song, a masterpiece lasts forever. Salute to the song writer and the singer.
Over the years I've heard Mr Nelson sing more than country and every song he's chosen to do always seemed made for him and him alone. This is so sweet and sad but makes me think of a cool grandpa playing and singing an evening by a fire with his kids and grands listening respectfully. Maybe his oldest son breaking out the harmonica just at the right time. This song goes on replay for sure❤
Très belle prestation monsieur Nelson ,,,,souvenir souvenir,,,,Merci
I can't stop crying... this song is so haunting...❤
Thanks... where are you chatting from

Willie so beautiful. You did a great job. Like magic.
I have great love and respect for this man, Willie Nelson…when he sings, he sings from the very depth of his magnificent, magnificent soul.
Hello So sorry for the infringe on your privacy. Beautiful song.
Yes, just so real, beautiful song and Willie's style so nice, just beautiful

What a legend I hope he's got many more years left.
Just turned 90 years young last April. I do hope he will be with us for more years to come.
I love you willie
感謝Willie👍👍👍,
這首歌很棒，
聽起來很平靜也很療癒，
尤其是當我們越來越老的年紀！💖💝
That's what I say* yesterday when I was young. I Love You Willie & Thank You.
Hello Anne
Hello there
Hello Anne how are you doing!!
Omg! he sung like he is telling his story when he is young,pretty good.
I didn’t think anyone could cover this song after Roy. But Roy was still relatively young when he sang it. Willie sings it with age and experience in his voice. I don’t even watch the video I just close my eyes and listen to the nuances in his voice. I always enjoy his lead on the old gut string guitar it has such beautiful tone.
yes touching version, accent helped to endear this song.
Or Glen Campbell's version - my favourite.
Charles aznavour has the best version. Not to mention that he wrote the song
@@dominiccavaiuolo1110 Yes, but this is a very good version.
@@dominiccavaiuolo1110 99% of these people dont even know who Charles Aznavour is...a crime really...as he is one of musics must indispensable people...
and of course hearing charles sing this in his later years..is light-years ahead of this rather unfeeling version
And only I am left on stage to end the play.
It's like this song was written for Willie. God continue to bless him.
Willie Nelson, mon chanteur préféré, interprétant la plus belle chanson d'Aznavour. Superbe
Je peux l'écouter sans m'en lasser ...Personne ne peu comme lui chanter cette chanson JAMAIS !😔❤
Hello 👋
All of us approaching the long dirt nap can easily relate to this song. A profound & beautiful lesson of the importance to make peace with ourselves while there's still a few yesterday's ahead.
Love your voice. God bless you ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Je ne connaissais pas cette reprise de "hier encore" de Charles Aznavour. Superbe...
When I listen to this haunting song I close my eyes and I see my life pass before me. So many things that I’d like to change, regrets that have lingered through my life. Things that can’t be changed. Now I’m in the twilight of my life just waiting for the final chapter to be written.. so remember when you’re writing your life’s story, choose the right words, make the right choices so that there are no regrets to dwell on. Life is a one way street, take it slow and easy and make the best of it.
You said that so beautifully perfect for the youngens
You've just summed up my life and I'm in the final chapter too.
Too soon and before your eyes.
So much more to do, so little time. I remember when I was young. I pushed so many away.
Things I cannot change.

Bel hommage de ce merveilleux interprete , a notre genial parolier qu'etait AZNAVOUR.......I LOVE SO MUCH THESE GIANTS !
Willie Nelson is special!!
Hello there Jane nice meeting you here
A lifetime of masterpieces. A tapestry of America’s finest country music. A musical genius never to be duplicated.
God speed Mr. Nelson.
This is probably the best ever English version of this song, Charles Aznazvour must be very proud
Roy Clark’s version is also very good
@@mk11fan87 I love Roy’s version!
Dusty Springfield made a good version in the '60s.

Very beautiful, Mr. Willie Nelson
Hey how are you doing today..?
Didn't find Willie till I was35 am I glad I did.Saw him at the London Appolo about 20 years ago and at the end of his set he shook the hand of everyone who offered there hand to him,not only a great singer but a great man thank you Willie.
Now that I approach 79 I list to this song an it fits me to a tee ?
J'adore cette voix, qui en dehors de Mr Aznavour pourrait chanter cette magnifique chanson. Ici l'on ressent la lassitude des années mais aussi toute la tendresse et le plaisir que ce chanteur apporte à dire ces mots.. Une belle réussite musicale également, Monsieur Aznavour aurait été content, je crois.
Love you Willie you are the best ❤️🍀🌈
Hello how are you doing today?
Che bella canzone! Una grande performance del nostro Willie! 👩❤️💋👩😅😍😍🤩🤩😘😘🎶🎸🎶💘♥️💔💯💋🌹
At 89, he still has the same voice as when he was 50
Bouleversant. I guess a life long, yes, for sure a whole life, is necessary to reach and communicate this...intensity . Willie Nelson takes it to another dimension. How is it possible in 3 min.33 it's a mystery. Great artist. Thank You.
This is a very soulfull song! you can remind your chilhood,,,the useless times,,,if you can bring back those times that passed ,,,surely you will turn the history of youre life,,,,if ,,,
UN ÉTERNEL...MERCI !
Hey how are you doing today..?
Willie I have always loved your voice, I love your face, and this is a very fine interpretation of a wonderful song.
Mr. Willie, I Saw You at Austin, TX. Airport:; our Kids were there
No one has a voice like this man.❤
` - I have not heard this song before? - Great version - by Mr. `Willie` Nelson ----`
Hello there Terry nice meeting you here
A song that brings a quiet reflection to any man of an age who has endured many hard, rutted miles of dirt road that has passed under his hood.
Youthful romances, homelessness, entry level hard labor jobs, war, marriage, child raising, struggles to survive, thrive and be successful. Experience success and wearily but happily enter retirement.
Great song for reflection with a mug of black coffee before the night time warmth of a fireplace.
As I get older the more profound the song becomes
Bravos River. You’re so right. Nostalgia.
me too.....
Bravos River. I wonder how much we would change if we could go back in time. I wish I could go back to when my mother sisters and brothers were still here. Just for one day to tell them how much I loved them ❤❤❤
I’m 86. True!
Whoa...what a gorgeous experience listening to one great artist sing the song of another. Nelson singing Aznavour---wonderful! The pictures provide another level to the whole performance. Willie got more beautiful with every passing year, every new wrinkle. I think Charles Aznavour would have loved to see this.
Hello there Roberta nice meeting you here
Magnifique
♥♥♥ I love You ♥♥♥
Hello how are you doing today…?
A legend!!!
@Willie Nelson 🔵 That will never happen, I will always listen to your music. Thanx for writing back (who eve really did), it is very special. Your words often hit me at the right time, they often console me, and for that, I am so deeply appreciative. I love your raspy voice, your County Way, your long cool hair. Willie, keep well, keep healthy, and keep on rock'n on !!!
@Willie Nelson 🔵 Yes Interested!
@Willie Nelson 🔵 Is there a way to send it Privately to you. I am not comfortable putting it out there, however would LOVE to win something from Willie. Thanx
Mr Nelson, I would pay serious money to listen to you sing a breakfast cereal jingle. Never heard you sing anything that I didn't love.💕
So beautiful and very thoughtful, thanks Willie, can't say much more...
Hello So sorry for the infringe on your privacy. Beautiful song.

Chanson de Charles Aznavour magnifiquement interprétée et traduite. Thanks Willie, you're a great artist !
Merveilleuse reprise que d émotion. Chanteur exceptionnel. Bravo Monsieur Nelson 🎉🎉
Oui c'est magnifique ❤️❤️❤️
Willie..., Yesterday will live for ever in your voice, in yours words in yours songs. You have seed love, felling, sentiments in millions harts, in ours memories with yours. THANKS
❤
Some people get more beautiful as they age. Wish I were so lucky...
So so so beautiful. The feeling is deep, scorching, searing, bittersweet regret. This is the best rendition in my opinion.
It is absolutely beautiful. Aznavour's is beautiful, too.
@@xine9997 Yes both singers make us feel the passing of time and to say goodbye to so many many opportunities missed with the innocence of youth
YOUR ANOTHER ONE WHO HASN'T HEARD ROY CLARK DO THIS
This might just have become my favorite version of this song. Thank you, Willie.
The most moving Willie
je ne me lasse pas de vous ecouter chaque jour ! merci
First time I heard and emotionally attached 😢and remembered olden days , great singer thanks a lot.
AT 83 my first hearing of Willie's version. Such a great composition benefits by being performed by a Super Senior....I know so well...
I'm 79 and it seems that those songs of our youth come back to haunt us to overpower the noise and technology of our everyday lives. The gentle singing of these old performers gives me peace and comfort. Perhaps it's the same for every generation.
Yes you are right ❤️
Thanks for the like I will love know you more better Francis
Same here
@@josephmedina4357 do you have Instagram ? Here is my Instagram account viole_tadavis
There are two people who songs can be song on the saddest days of my life. And always they bring love in my heart and they make me smile. Charles Aznavour in French. Willy Nelson in English. The both make me smile. Hiere encore.
So good Willie! You made us all happy when we were sad that was your calling to make people feel better with your music. Jesus loves you. He wants you to come home. If you have an ask him into your heart you can do so now and be with him in paradise when you leave. God be with you and if it makes you feel any better I’m old too
He can't go yet, he has at least another few hundred duets to do!
Magnifique !
What a man love this song....sing it to me Willie...we are both old now and biding time making the best of it...God bless..you be safe x🙏🙏🙏🙏🌹

The original by Charles is 100 times better....

Willie Nelson's very voice was the personification of country !!!
Il est tjrs aussi beau ....
Hello how are you doing today?
Merci pour cette chanson 👍👏
Hier encore j'avais 20 ans !! c'est vrai comme le temps a passé vite !!
What a absolutely beautiful story in song . And the years of life experiences Willie Nelson has had. Makes this magnificent song project even more meaning . I have loved Willie Nelson's music as far back as I can recall , literally from the 50's . And one thing is certain, there will never be another Willie Nelson.
So right, I am 89 yrs. still love his voice! 👍🏻🏴🇬🇧🇨🇦
Agree in full length with every thing you said.
Will love him forever.
One of his younger sons sounds exactly like him. Awesome. I love Willie also and this song especially. Also love angel flying to close to the ground.
Too, too true. He sounds as if he has lived every word.
Willie's face shows how much he has enjoyed life ,the wrinkles and laugh lines. I have enjoyed every moment spent with him 💕 ❤

That’s great
Oh yes... it made me cry!
Totally agree
His voice carries just the right amount of emotion so that you feel a real guy is talking to you, not just for show.
His Nightshow of Cheyenne Frontier Daze long ago! Incredible artist!
I enjoy his version of Alone in the Garden
