Non je ne regrette rien
Edith 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 repars 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

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Édith Piaf's song "Non je ne regrette rien" express a sense of acceptance, resilience, and renewal. Piaf is saying that she does not regret anything in her life, neither the good nor the bad experiences. She implies that all of those experiences are now insignificant and she has moved on from them. Piaf declares that she does not care about the past and is not burdened by it anymore. The repetition of the phrases "Non, rien de rien" and "Je me fous du passé" emphasize her detachment from what has already happened and her concentration on the present.


The song then shifts in tone as Piaf recalls her memories, but instead of being weighed down by them, she uses them to ignite her passion and rekindle her spark. By lighting a fire with her memories, she captures the energy of her past traumas and pleasantries and turns it into fuel to move forward in her life. She has let go of the hurtful memories and embraced the good ones to propel her towards her new beginning. Additionally, she has erased any past emotions she held towards former lovers with their exaggerated demonstrations of love, where she now feels indifferent towards their memory.


Thus, the song can be interpreted to mean the power of letting go and the significance of living life in the present moment. The lyrics imply that the past should not dictate the present or the future, but instead serve as an ignition to inspire and guide the individual to create their destiny.

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



@venus1957

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
