I want to hear the song "Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien"


Search
: Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien

Why: We saw Inception last night. On Vulture:
Regret is the idea that defines Cobb (which makes his recurrent use of the Edith Piaf song “Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien” as a musical countdown to the end of a given dream rather ironic and touching)
Answer: The song was written in 1956, and Piaf recorded her version in 1961. Here it go:

The More You Know
: Lyrics and translation go like:
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

No, nothing at all
I regret nothing at all
Not the good, nor the bad
It is all the same
No, nothing at all
I have no regrets about anything
It is paid, wiped away, forgotten

Avec mes souvenirs, j'ai allumé le feu
Mes chagrins, mes plaisirs, je n'ai plus besoin d'eux
Balayées les amours, avec leurs trémolos
Balayées pour toujours, je repars à zéro

I am not concerned with the past, with my memories
I set fire to my pains and pleasures,
I don't need them anymore
I have wiped away my loves and my troubles
Swept them all away
I am starting again from zero

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, I have no regrets
Because from today, my life, my happiness, everything,
Starts with you!
