(A free translation of the French chanson Je ne regrette rien ( I regret nothing) composed by Charles Dumont, with lyrics by Michel Vaucaire in 1956.It is best known through its 1960 recording by Édith Piaf, a favourite French singer of mine when I was living in Paris. Never missed a concert of hers)
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 begin with you!
