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 song "Non Je Ne Regrette Rien" is a powerful declaration of the strength and resilience of the human spirit. It speaks of the willingness to let go of the past and move forward, without regret or lamentation. The first stanza states that there is nothing, absolutely nothing, that the singer regrets. Neither the good things that have been done for her, nor the bad things that have been done to her. Everything is in the past and forgotten. The phrase "C'est payé, balayé, oublié" (It's paid, swept away, forgotten) reinforces this detachment from the past.


The second stanza goes deeper into the singer's process of letting go. She has used her memories as kindling to start a fire, and now she has no need for her sadness or her pleasures. She has swept away her past loves and their trembling voices, and she is starting over again. The line "Je repars à zéro" (I'm starting from scratch) indicates a fresh beginning, a new chapter in life. The final lines of the song express hope and joy for the present and future: "Car ma vie, car mes joies, aujourd'hui ça commence avec toi" (Because my life, my joys, today they start with 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

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!!! ♡

Imagine you finally achieve your dream and this song starts playing out of no where

@nikhilchouhan1802

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?
