Non je ne regrette rien
Hans Zimmer/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

No! Nothing at all 
No! I regret nothing 
Neither the good that I've done 
Nor evil it's all the same to me! 

No! Nothing at all 
No! I regret nothing 
It is paid, swept away, forgotten 
I care about the past! 

With my memories 
I lit the fire 
My sorrows, my pleasures 
I no longer need them! 

Swept loves 
And all their tremolos 
Swept forever 
I leave with nothing 

No! Nothing at all 
No! I regret nothing 
Neither the good that I've done 
Nor evil, all that I care! 

No! Nothing at all 
No! I regret nothing 
Because my life, because my joys 
Today, it starts with you!

No, nothing of nothing
No! I don't feel sorry about anything
Not the good things people have done to me
Not the bad things, it's all the same to me.

No, nothing of nothing
No! I don't feel sorry about anything
It's paid for, removed, forgotten,
I'm happy of the past

With my memories
I lit up the fire
My troubles, my pleasures
I don't need them anymore

Broomed away my love stories
And all their tremble
Broomed away for always
I start again from zero

Non ! Je ne regrette rien
Ni le mal, tout ça m'est bien égal !

Non ! Je ne regrette rien
Because my life, my joys
Today, they begin with you. — listening to Non, je ne regrette rien.
