The husband drinks alcohol to have the strength to tell his wife everything he thinks about her. He says the worst possible things to her, but then he adds, that a little effort and a smiling face, and things could be  just as before. In the end he calls her: "Come close to me. Let yourself go". It was a no. 1 hit in France in 1960, a best-selling record in Belgium in 1960, and returned to the charts in 1962. In Jean-Luc Godard's film "A Woman Is a Woman", the song plays on a jukebox during a tense encounter between Anna Karina and Jean-Paul Belmondo. In 1995 Aznavour recorded a version of "Tu t'laisses aller" in duet with Liza Minnelli ().
