I was entirely ignorant of Piaf until recently I saw a French movie of a few years ago depicting her life. It had subtitles which meant for the first time I took notice of the English meaning of her lyrics.
I do hope the following are adequate translations.
My God
My God! My God! My God!
Let him stay with me
a little bit longer
my lover!
One day, two days, eight days...
Let him stay with me
a little bit longer
with me
The times of adoring each other
of saying it to him
the times of making up
memories
My God! Oh yes... my God!
Let him stay with me
and fill my life
a little bit
My God! My God! My God!
Let him stay with me
a little bit longer
my lover!
Six months, three months, two months...
Let him stay with me
for only
one month...
The times to start
or to finish
the times of lightening
or of suffering
My God! My God! My God!
Even if I’m mistaken
let him stay with me
a little bit
even if I’m mistaken
let him stay with me
longer
and
I Don't Regret Anything
No, nothing at all,
No, I don't regret anything!
Neither the good that's been done to me,
Nor the bad;
It's all the same to me!
No, nothing at all,
No, I don't regret anything!
It's been payed for,
swept (away),
Forgotten.
I don't care about the past!
With my memories
I have lit the fire!
My disappointments, my pleasures,
I no longer need them.
Swept away are the loves
with their trembling,
swept away forever!
I start again at zero.
No, nothing at all,
No, I don't regret anything!
Neither the good that's been done to me,
Nor the bad;
It's all the same to me!
No, nothing at all,
No, I don't regret anything!
Because my life,
because my joy,
today
begins with you!
I do hope the following are adequate translations.
