No Regrets
Edith Piaf Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No, I will have no regrets
All the things that went wrong
For at last I have learned to be strong
No, no regrets
No, I will have no regrets
For the grief doesn't last
It is gone, I've forgotten the past
And the memories I had
I no longer desire
Both the good and the bad
I have flung in a fire
And I feel in my heart
That the seed has been sown
It is something quite new
It's like nothing I've known
No, no regrets
No, I will have no regrets
All the things that went wrong
For at last I have learned to be strong
No, no regrets
No, I will have no regrets
For the seed that is new
It's the love
That is growing for you

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

Balayer les amours
Avec leurs trémolos
Balayer pour toujours
Je repars à zéro
Non, rien de rien

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!!! ♡

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?
