She now resides in Monaco and has recently sold her London apartment. Many of its furnishings were auctioned for charity. Two very popular 'Audiences With Shirley Bassey' have aired on British TV, the most recent being in March 2006.
In 2006, UK retailer Marks and Spencer hired Bassey for their Christmas advertising campaign, with Dame Shirley singing a cover of P!nk's 'Get the Party Started'.
In late 2009 Bassey released 'The Performance' her first studio album for two decades, which was released in a maelstrom of anticipation. Still popular well into one of the longest and most illustrious musical careers in British and indeed international history, Bassey is considered by Brits to be a national treasure.

Shirley Bassey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What is this fire burning inside?
I've never known a love like this
And it began with our first kiss
Mi Amor
Mi Amor
You're the one I've been searching for
Last until forever
Mi Amor
Te nesecito
I need you
All night and all day
Un poco màs serca
A bit closer
I'll show you the way
To capture this moment for all time
Forever yours forever mine

You're the one I've been searching for
Come to me and let this dance together last until forever
Mi Amor
Cease by devotion
As I look at your face in the moonlight
Love is in motion
For tonight is the night that we both have been dreaming would come
When love expires two hearts to share
Filled with desire two lovers dare
Bound by a passion and embrace
Body to body face to face
Mi Amor

You're the one I've been searching for
Come with me and let's make love together
Our love is forever
