Lyric of the Day

I decided to stay in on Friday night, I needed the night in. I was rather pooped from the partying the night before. All I wanted to do was disappear under the warmth of my duvet while taking in a subtitled movie. I have a slight obsession with French film, or any foreign film for that matter. They just do everything better I think. So I picked 'La Vie En Rose', the Edith Piaf biopic. Piaf is portrayed by Marion Cotillard, who deservedly won an Oscar for this role. I was riveted. The music, the voice, the life. I was once again convinced that I need to live in France, even if for a short while. In Grasse, I think. The last song she sings at the end of the film really moved me. She sings of living a life without regret. This is how I live my life. So I thought it had to be my lyric of the day that I share with you. Enjoy!

Non! Rien de rien ... (No! Absolutely nothing...)

Non! Je ne regrette rien (No! I regret nothing)

Ni le bien qu'on m'a fait ni le mal (Neither the good that I've done nor the bad)

Tout ça m'est bien égal! (All this is much the same to me!)

Non! Rien de rien ... (No! Absolutely nothing...)

Non! Je ne regrette rien... (No! I regret nothing...)

C'est payé, balayé, oublié (It is paid, swept away, forgotten)

Je me fous du passé! (I don't care about the past!)

Avec mes souvenirs (With my souvenirs)

J'ai allumé le feu (I lit a fire)

Mes chagrins, mes plaisirs (My sorrows, my pleasures)

Je n'ai plus besoin d'eux! (I need them no more!)

Balayés les amours (Swept away the love affairs)

Avec leurs trémolos (With their tremours)

Balayés pour toujours (Swept away forever)

Je repars à zéro ... (I leave with nothing ...)

Non! Rien de rien ... (No! Absolutely nothing...)

Non! Je ne regrette rien ... (No! I regret nothing)

Ni le bien qu'on m'a fait ni le mal (Neither the good that I've done nor the bad)

Tout ça m'est bien égal! (All this is much the same to me!)

Non! Rien de rien ... (No! Absolutely nothing...)

Non! Je ne regrette rien ... (No! I regret nothing...)

Car ma vie, car mes joies (Because my life, because my joys)

Aujourd'hui ça commence avec toi! (Today that begins with you!)
