Non Je Ne Regrette Rien
Édith Piaf Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
Balayé les amours avec leurs trémolos
Balayé pour toujours
Je reparts 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
"Non je ne regrette rien" is a beautiful and powerful masterpiece created by the legendary French singer, Édith Piaf. The lyrics of the song talk about her attitude towards life and how she chooses not to have regrets for anything that has happened in the past. She declares that she doesn't regret any of the good or bad things that have happened to her as she is indifferent to it all. Piaf sings that everything has been paid for, swept away, and forgotten, and she doesn't care about her past. It's a declaration of her freedom from the chains of her past.
Piaf then goes on to say that she has lit a fire with her memories and has gotten rid of all her sorrows and pleasures - she doesn't need them anymore. She has swept away all the loves with their trepidation, and she is starting afresh, reflecting that she is reborn. The lyrics denote a sense of liberation, where Piaf is letting go of her old self and welcoming a new life. She then concludes by intimating that her life is beginning again, with this new love, and with that, she is entirely free of her past.
The song reflects Édith Piaf's dramatic and powerful singing style that has become her signature. Her voice conveys all the emotions that the lyrics intend to express, and for this reason, she has become a cultural icon in France and all over the world. Many people consider "Non, je ne regrette rien" one of Piaf's best works, and the song has remained timeless and classic to this day.

No! No regrets,
No ! I will have no regrets
Neither the kindness received
Nor the sorrows grieved
I have forgotten the past
No! No regrets
No! I will have no regrets
Love was king for a day
swept away
gone astray
To hell with the past
And the memories I had
I no longer desire
Both the good and the bad
I have flung in a fire
Swept away past loves
With the heartaches I've withstood
Swept away for good
Like starting from the unknown
No! No regrets
No! I will have no regrets
Neither the kindness received
Nor sorrows grieved
I've forgotten the past
No! No regrets
No! I will have no regrets
for my life
and my joys
Today
It begins again with you

No, nothing at all
No, I do not regret anything
Nor the good, that was done to me
Neither evil, I don't care at all
No, nothing at all
No, I do not regret anything
It is paid, swept away, forgotten
I do not care about the past
With my memories
I started the fire
my sorrows, my pleasures
I do not need them anymore
Sweep the loves
With their tremolos
sweep forever
I go back to zero
No, nothing at all
No, I do not regret anything
Nor the good, that was done to me
Neither evil, I don't care at all
No, nothing at all
No, I do not regret anything
Because my life, because my joys
Today, it begins with you

Нет! Ни о чем,
Нет, я не жалею ни о чём
Ни о добре, которое мне сделали,
Ни о зле,
Мне все равно.
Нет! Ни о чем!
Нет, я не жалею ни о чем
Все оплачено, выметено, забыто,
Мне наплевать на прошлое
Из моих воспоминаний
Я разожгу костёр.
Мои печали, мои удовольствия
Мне больше не нужны…
Выметены прошлые любовные истории
С их тревогами.
Выметены навсегда,
Я начинаю с нуля.
Нет! Ни о чем,
Нет, я не жалею ни о чём
Ни о добре, которое мне сделали,
Ни о зле, мне все равно
Нет! Ни о чем,
Нет, я не жалею ни о чём!
Потому что моя жизнь и мои радости
Сегодня начинаются с тобой.

My father was born in Marseille in 1929. He had the privilege of seeing Edith Piaf perform in Paris in 1949. He mentioned how tiny she was and that she had a simple black dress on. Nothing like today with all the bells and whistles. Her voice penetrated everything and went straight to your heart. When I listen to her it reminds me of my father and what it must have been like to see her live. It makes me happy to know that so many people have discovered her through TV shows or from word or mouth. C'est merveilleux!
@brigittebeltran6701
There is, indeed, a video here on You Tube with her singing live in a little black dress...try to find it! 🤗👍❤
@minkorrh
That's because Edith had a voice that didn't need any modern embellishment like autotune or melodyne
@rajenmurugan3229
she is priceless and angelic
@hopelove6658
Jeff Buckley brought me here. She was a great inspiration for him!!! ♡

You’re waiting for a train. A train that will take you far away. You know where you hope the train will take you, but you can’t know for sure. Yet it doesn’t matter. Now tell me why?
