Born to a large impoverished family, Dion emerged as a teen star in the French-speaking world after her manager and future husband René Angélil mortgaged his home to finance her first record. In 1990, she released the anglophone album Unison, establishing herself as a viable pop artist in North America and other English-speaking areas of the world.
Dion had first gained international recognition in the 1980s by winning both the 1982 Yamaha World Popular Song Festival and the 1988 Eurovision Song Contest.Following a series of French albums in the early 1980s, she signed on to CBS Records Canada in 1986. During the 1990s, with the help of Angélil, she achieved worldwide fame after signing with Epic Records and releasing several English albums along with additional French albums, becoming one of the most successful artists in pop music history. However, in 1999 at the height of her success, Dion announced a temporary retirement from entertainment in order to start a family and spend time with her husband, who had been diagnosed with cancer.She returned to the top of pop music in 2002 and signed a three-year (later extended to almost five years) contract to perform nightly in a five-star theatrical show at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace, Las Vegas.
After performing in 25 countries during the Taking Chances World Tour which ended in February 2009 (one year after it began) she took another 2 year hiatus, focusing on expanding her family. After 6 in-vitro tries she gave birth to twin boys Nelson and Eddy in October 2010. In the meantime she announced her return to Vegas, her new show simply named "Céline" premièred on March 15th 2011 to spectacular reviews by media and audience.
Dion's music has been influenced by genres ranging from rock and R&B to gospel and classical. While her releases have often received mixed critical reception, she is renowned for her technically skilled and powerful vocals. Dion is the best selling Canadian artist of all time; and her album D'eux is the best selling francophone album of all time. Dion is regarded as one of pop music's most influential voices. Linda Lister describes Dion as a reigning Queen of Pop for her influence over the record industry during the 1990s. On a cultural level, Dion is credited for introducing francophone music to many non-francophone countries around the globe. Dion is also credited for both revitalizing and revolutionizing the entertainment scene in Las Vegas with the gargantuan successes of her residencies there. She managed to re-popularize the Las Vegas "residency" as a desirable way for top artists to essentially tour in place, letting their fans come to them. Over the years, fellow established icons such as Britney Spears, Elton John, Bette Midler, Rod Stewart, Cher and Shania Twain followed suit.
All by Myself
Céline Dion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I never needed anyone
And making love was just for fun
Those days are gone
Livin' alone
I think of all the friends I've known
But when I dial the telephone
Nobody's home
All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself
Anymore
Hard to be sure
Sometimes I feel so insecure
And love so distant and obscure
Remains the cure
All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself
Anymore
All by myself
Don't wanna live
All by myself
Anymore
When I was young
I never needed anyone
And making love was just for fun
Those days are gone
All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself
Anymore
All by myself
Don't wanna live
Oh
Don't wanna live
By myself, by myself
Anymore
By myself
Anymore
Oh
All by myself
Don't wanna live
I never, never, never
Needed anyone
Celine Dion's song "All By Myself" expresses the feelings of loneliness and isolation. The opening lines of the song describe a time when the singer was younger and didn't need anyone. As she became older, those feelings changed she now finds herself all alone.
The next set of lines expresses the singer's regrets and reflects on lost friendships. She tries to reach out to others but finds that nobody responds. The repetition of "All by myself" throughout the song emphasizes the singer's isolation and her desire to break free from it.
The second half of the song talks about the insecurities that come with being alone. The singer acknowledges that it's challenging to be sure of oneself when there's no one around to provide support. She also acknowledges that love seems like a distant and obscure concept that could make everything better. This point serves as a reminder of how beneficial the presence of someone who loves us can be.
The last lines of the song reiterate that the singer never needed anyone, but she no longer wants to be "all by herself" anymore. It's a poignant and moving plea for companionship.
Line by Line Meaning
When I was young
Back in the days of my youth
I never needed anyone
I was self-sufficient and did not require anyone's assistance
And making love was just for fun
Sex was just a pleasurable activity with no deeper emotions attached
Those days are gone
I am no longer in that phase of life
Livin' alone
I am currently living independently
I think of all the friends I've known
I reflect upon the friendships I've had in the past
But when I dial the telephone
When I try to contact someone
Nobody's home
No one is answering or available
All by myself
I am alone and feeling lonely
Don't wanna be
I do not desire to stay in this state of solitude
Anymore
I want to change my situation
Hard to be sure
Uncertain and difficult to determine
Sometimes I feel so insecure
At times, I lack confidence and feel vulnerable
And love so distant and obscure
Finding love seems far away and difficult to achieve
Remains the cure
Love is still the solution to my struggles
Don't wanna live
I do not want to continue my life in this way
Oh
Expressing a feeling of sorrow or longing
I never, never, never
I have never before
Needed anyone
Needed someone's presence or support
By myself
Alone
Anymore
But that is no longer the case

Manuel de Jesus Tamayo-Jimenez
But the spanish version is completely different to the English version
I wanted to fly
Quise volar
And I knew loneliness
Y conocí la soledad
I played love without giving up
Jugué al amor sin entregar
Without waiting
Sin esperar
I go out to look
Salgo a buscar
Some footprint, a sign
Alguna huella, una señal
Make my dream come true
Hacer mi sueño realidad
To be able to love
Poder amar
Alone again
Sola otra vez
I do not know how to live
No sé vivir
Alone again
Sola otra vez
Loveless
Sin amor
I want to know
Quiero saber
How does a woman feel
Como es que siente una mujer
My heart can't take it anymore
Mi corazón no aguanta más
Loneliness
La soledad
Alone again
Sola otra vez
I do not know how to live
No sé vivir
Alone again
Sola otra vez
Loveless
Sin amor
Alone again
Sola otra vez
I'm here
Estoy aquí
Alone again
Sola otra vez
Loveless
Sin amor
I wanted to fly
Quisé volar
And I knew loneliness
Y conocí la soledad
I played love without giving up
Jugué al amor sin entregar
Without waiting
Sin esperar
Alone again
Sola otra vez
I do not know how to live
No sé vivir
Alone again
Sola otra vez
Loveless
Sin amor
Alone again
Sola otra vez
I do not know how to live
No sé vivir
Loveless
Sin amor
I don't want to be so alone again without love
Ya no quiero estar tan sola otra vez sin amor
Again, without love ...
Otra vez, sin amor...
Loveless
Sin amor
Alone again
Sola otra vez
I do not know how to live
No sé vivir
Loveless
Sin amor
Alone
Sola

@Blanca Zulema Claro, pero deja tú que no fuera su idioma, la i en notas altas es bien difícil con la potencia que lo hizo ella porque es una vocal cerrada (que digo, lo hace súper súper súper bien) pero no le quita lo difícil.
Para todos los que me han atacado diciéndome que no sé de música:
Contestarles uno por uno: qué flojera.
Lo único que deben saber (además de lo que ya le dije a uno de ustedes) es que haber madurado es entender que ni si quiera nuestros artistas favoritos son perfectos.
Freddie Mercury (catalogado como el mejor cantante de la historia) decía que él también fallaba (y muchos han y hemos de jurar que no es así) pero fue lo suficientemente maduro para no caerse con las críticas de la gente, pero tampoco elevarse al cielo por los halagos (aunque por sus palabras, siempre estuvo y estará agradecido).
Un enorme abrazo a todos.

La primera vez que escuché esta canción me sorprendió demasiado. Su español es perfecto hasta pensé que era otra artista que la cantaba. Sin duda Celine demostró ser una artista de gran calidad.

@Danny Parada igual q lani hall no hablaba español

@Sabino Barraza exacto pues Madonna tiene raíces italianas por lo cual el italiano es idioma que es derivado del latín y es por eso que su pronunciación es perfecta la mayoría de los artistas italianos que cantan en español suele ser más fluido el idioma para ellos ejemplos Eros Ramazzotti,Laura Pausini o Andrea bocceli!
Juan Carlos Cruz Bolaños
@Andrés orteaga el francés es un idioma derivado del latín el cual se considera lengua romance es por eso que es una exelente pronunciación!
