Non, Je Ne Regrette Rein

It's an Edith Piaff day. I haven't listened to her since one of my friends turned me on to her a few years back. Thanks to rhapsody, any and all music is but a mouse click away. Can I say, I LOVE HER!!!! Almost as much as I love Babs and Judy.

I am so feeling this song today. Translation or no translation. This sums up last night's conversation, or rather my resolve. There comes a point and time when one must take ones health into consideration. I never really understood when people say they have to get rid of people in their lives b/c they were literally making them sick. You can love someone and not want to have anything to do with them. I now know what that's like. I can love someone from a distance without needing them in my life. It's self preservation.


I am so completely and utterly DONE. I couldn't say it better myself. :) But, as the song says:

Non!Rien de rien...Non!Je ne regrette rienNi le bienQu’on m’a fait,Ni le mal,Tout ça m’est bien égal!Non!Rien de rien...Non!C’est payé,Balayé,Oublié,Je me fous du passé!Avec me souvenirsJai allumé le feu,Mes chagrins, mes plaisirs,Je n’ai plus besoin d’eux!Balayé les amours,Avec leurs trémolos,Balayés pour toujoursJe repars à zéro...Non!Rien de rien...Non!Je ne regrette rienNi le bienQu’on m’a fait,Ni le mal,Tout ça m’est bien égal!Non!Rien de rien...Non!
