Non Je Ne Regrette Rien
ةdith Piaf Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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
Balayé les amours avec leurs trémolos
Balayé pour toujours
Je reparts a 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

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Non Je Ne Regrette Rien" by Edith Piaf speak of a person who has no regrets in life. The repeated phrase, "Non, rien de rien," (which translates to "No, nothing at all"), emphasizes this sentiment. The lyrics go on to say that the person does not regret the good or bad things that have happened to them, as they are all in the past and do not matter anymore. The word "balayé" (meaning swept away) is used to further emphasize the idea of leaving the past behind and moving on. The person declares that they have no need for their memories, whether they are happy or sad, as they have started a new chapter in their life with someone they love.


The lyrics also specifically mention sweeping away past loves, with their "tremolos" (meaning quavering or shaky voices). This could suggest that the person has had a tumultuous past when it comes to love, and has decided to leave those experiences behind. The final line, "Aujourd'hui ça commence avec toi" (meaning "Today it begins with you"), suggests that the person has found a new love or purpose in life, and is finally able to start fresh without any regrets.


Overall, the lyrics of "Non Je Ne Regrette Rien" convey a sense of liberation and a willingness to move on from the past, no matter what has happened.

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

Imagine you finally achieve your dream and this song starts playing out of no where

@nikhilchouhan1802

And you start to cry
"Huh..? It was all a dream!"

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?
