Non, je ne regrette rien Lyrics Translated
[CHORUS]
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 !
No, nothing at all
No, I don’t regret anything
Neither the good that was done to me
Nor the evil
I don’t care about any of it!
Non, rien de rien
Non, je ne regrette rien
C’est payé, balayé, oublié
Je me fous du passé !
No, nothing at all
No, I don’t regret anything
It’s paid for, swept away, forgotten
I don’t care about the past!
[VERSE]
Avec mes souvenirs
J’ai allumé le feu
Mes chagrins, mes plaisirs
Je n’ai plus besoin d’eux
Balayé les amours
Avec leurs trémolos
Balayé pour toujours
Je repars à zéro
With my memories
I lit the fire
My sorrows, my pleasures
I no longer need them
Swept away the loves
With their tremolos
Swept away forever
I start again to zero
[CHORUS]
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 !
No, nothing at all
No, I don’t regret anything
Neither the good that was done to me
Nor the evil
I don’t care about any of it!
Non, rien de rien
Non, je ne regrette rien
Car ma vie
Car mes joies
Aujourd’hui
Ça commence avec toi !
No, nothing at all
No, I don’t regret anything
For my life
For my joys
Today
It starts with you!
About Non, je ne regrette rien
This song is composed in 1956 by Charles Dumont but will be interpreted by Édith Piaf only in 1960. This song “Non je ne regrette rien” (=No I don’t regret anything) signed the come back of the “Mome” to the French scene after a break due to some health issues. Before, she became famous with some hits like La vie en rose (lyrics). In this song, the French female singer tells that she is not regretting anything from the bad or the good things she has done in her life. Fun fact, the French Foreign Legion made this song their anthem since the soldiers have no regrets over their dark past life.
Since then he has had many covers from Johnny Halliday, Mireille Mathieu and Patricia Kaas, and much more. For the younger a little bit old or the cinephiles, you know this song from the French movie scene “Hate” (La Haine). In one of the most famous French scenes, the French DJ CuteKiller does a mashup with “Sound of da Police” (from the American artist KRS-One).
About Édith Piaf
Édith Piaf is probably the most famous post-war singer in France and in the world. This French female singer was born in Paris on December 15, 1915. After running away from her family at the age of 15, she ends up singing in the street. Louis Leplée, owner of a musical café on the Champs Elysées, spotted her and introduced her to the world of cabarets. Her music career skyrocketed from there. She became in Paris “La mome piaf” (mome is French slang for child) because she was small and fragile.
His life is unfortunately marked by many personal tragedies. First of all, there was the death of her daughter, Marcelle in 1935 and then the death of her partner Marcel Cerdan in a plane crash in 1949. In addition to that, she was affected by polyarthritis and died young at the age of 47 in 1963 of a ruptured aneurysm. You can learn more about famous French songs over the last decades.
