That year, Aznavour invited Iglesias onto a French TV stage to sing «Que c’est triste Venise» (“Venecia sin ti” in Spanish).
Trading verses in French and Spanish, they created a bilingual duet that symbolized how Armenian art crosses borders. For Aznavour-son of Armenian Genocide survivors-the song’s longing for Venice became universal.
They reunited in 2005 and recorded a studio version in 2008.
