What it is
"L'Aziza" is a French-language song by Daniel Balavoine, released in 1985 as a single from his album Sauver l'amour. The title is an Arabic word meaning "my dear," and the song pays tribute to his wife Corinne, a Jewish Moroccan woman, while denouncing racism. After Balavoine's death was announced it rose to number one in France, where it stayed for eight weeks.
