Remembering Piaf, For Reasons Unknown

One of my all time fave songs by the most incredible voice this world has ever produced wormed it's way into my head as I was chopping garlic just now. How appropriate, don't you think?  I had to find a video and post it.  The CDs are still in boxes so this was the only way to get my Piaf on, so to speak.
Now, don't go reading anything into this revelation. Music of all kinds runs through my brain all the time and you'd be amazed at the diversity and range of songs...

Anyway, here are the lyrics in French and, such as they are, English.

-----------------------------FRANÇAIS---------------------------

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!

Balayés les amours
Avec leurs trémolos
Balayés 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!

-----------------------------ENGLISH----------------------------
No! Absolutely nothing...
No! I regret nothing
Neither the good that I've done nor the bad
All this is much the same to me!

No! Absolutely nothing...
No! I regret nothing...
It is paid, swept away, forgotten
I don't care about the past!

With my souvenirs
I lit a fire
My sorrows, my pleasures
I need them no more!

Swept away the love affairs
With their tremors
Swept away forever
I leave with nothing ...

No! Absolutely nothing...
No! I regret nothing
Neither the good that I've done nor the bad
All this is much the same to me!

No! Absolutely nothing...
No! I regret nothing...
Because my life, because my joys
Today that begins with you!

Well, I can dream, can't I?

And so it goes,
