Je Ne Regrette Rien

"Non, Rien De Rien, Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien
Ni Le Bien Qu`on M`a Fait, Ni Le Mal

Tout Ca M`est Bien Egal

Non, Rien De Rien, Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien

C`est Paye, Balaye, Oublie, Je Me Fous Du Passe"




It's April and I am now a master of television programs. My days were filled with checking the morning papers for job posting, the online job posting, the job websites and everything else on the net that relates to job hiring. Now that I desperately want my phone to ring, nobody's calling.

I can't be depressed, I told myself. This would be the last thing that's gonna happen to me. I have conquered all odds before, I would certainly be able to come out a winner now. I was deep in my thoughts when suddenly a very powerful yet lonely voice came on the tv, it's in French! I don't understand a thing but I know the song talks about life and the choices we've made. After hearing this song, Edith Piaf have become one of my favorite singers, she's just magnificent.

Je Ne Regrette Rien

(The English version)


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!


We all have our moments of despair, of wrong decisions, of wrong choices...but those moments are what shaped us what we are today... no regret, absolutely nothing to regret.....
