À la demande populaire (at popular demand), here she is back again for you:

Non, je ne regrette rien” (“No, I don’t regret anything”)!

Il n’y a pas l’ombre d’un doute lĂ -dessus (there is not a shadow of a doubt about it), this is definitely among the French classic de tous les temps (of all times.)

It was sung times and times again, by de nombreux artistes (numerous artists), and was throughout history mixed up with personalities de toutes les sauces politiques (of all political flavors): From the pro-colonialist right-wing LĂ©gionaires who hazarded a putsch against the GĂ©nĂ©ral de Gaule in 1961, (among other attemps on the life of the FrenchGeneral), and to whom the singer allegedly had dedictad initially, to the anti-colonialist and anti-Nazi Dutch, hero of the Indonesian war of liberation, “Poncke Princen“…

You take your pick, bien entendu!

This song was also featured in many movies, American and otherwise: In Intolerable Cruelty (starring George Clooney); in La Haine (remember Vincent Cassel,TTCs buddy—See “Une “Casse Ă -la-Cassel” ! (Grand “ThĂ©ft” Ă -la-Menthe)“, or “YELLE (Ă  tue-tĂŞte) if you like “le FRI€” the TTC way“); in Inception, starring Marion Cotillard, the actrice who performed the incarnation of Édith Piaf in her film biographique called La Vie en Rose; and finally, its lyrics made a “cameo” in the intro of a song by the German metalband Rammstein, in their album titled “FrĂĽhling in Paris“, meaning Printemps à Paris“ (Springtime in Paris)!

* Non, je ne regrette rien ! (Édith Piaf):

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 Ă©gal
 
Non, rien de rien

Non, je ne regrette rien

C’est payĂ©, balayĂ©, oubliĂ©

Je me fous du passé 

Avec mes souvenirs, j’ai allumĂ© le feu

Mes chagrins, mes plaisirs, je n’ai plus besoin d’eux

Balayées les amours, avec leurs trémolos

Balayées 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 Ă©gal

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 
I regret nothing
Neither the good that was done to me

Nor the bad, all that doesn’t matter to me

No, nothing at all,

I regret nothing

It’s been paid, swept away, forgotten

I don’t care about the past

Onto my memories, I set  fire

My griefs, my pleasures, I don’t need them anymore 

Swept away my loves, and their quavers

Swept them forever, I restart from zero

No, nothing at all

I have no regrets

Neither the good that was done to me
Nor the bad, all that doesn’t matter to me 

No, nothing at all

No, I don’t regret anything

Because my life, because my joys

Today, it starts with you!
