No Regrets
Édith Piaf (December 19, 1915 – October 11, 1963)

Paroles: Michel Vaucaire, musique: Charles Dumont, enr. 10 novembre 1960
If one can imagine 4 million funeral attendees, one would know:
Édith Piaf was one of France's most loved singers and a national icon.
Her music reflected her tragic life, with her speciality being the poignant
ballad presented with a heartbreaking voice. Among her most famous songs are
"La vie en rose" (1946), "Hymne à l'amour" (1949), "Milord" (1959),
"Non, je ne regrette rien" (1960).

NON, JE NE REGRETTE RIEN

Non, rien de rien
Non, je ne regrette rien,
Ni le bien qu'on m'a fait, ni le mal
Tout ça m'est bien égal

Non, rien de rien
Non, je ne regrette rien
C'est payé, balayé, oublié
Je me fous du passé

Avec mes souvenirs
J'ai allumé le feu
Mes chagrins, mes plaisirs
Je n'ai plus besoin d'eux
Balayés mes amours
Avec leurs trémolos
Balayés pour toujours
Je repars à zéro

Non, rien de rien
Non, je ne regrette rien
Ni le bien qu'on m'a fait, ni le mal
Tout ça m'est bien égal

Non, rien de rien
Non, je ne regrette rien
Car ma vie, Car mes joies
Aujourd'hui, Ça commence avec toi...

French Version
NO REGRETS

No! No regrets
No! I will have no regrets
All the things that went wrong
For at last I have learned to be strong

No! No regrets
No! I will have no regrets
For the grief doesn't last, it is gone
I've forgotten the past

And the memories I had
I no longer desire
Both the good and the bad
I have flung in a fire
And I feel in my heart
That the seed has been sown
It is something quite new
It's like nothing I've known

No! No regrets
No! I will have no regrets
All the things that went wrong
For at last I have learned to be strong

No! No regrets
No! I will have no regrets
For the seed that is new
It's the love that is growing for you
