Édith Piaf
No, I don’t regret none
Not even one
No, I don’t regret none
Nor the good, I’ve had some
Nor the bad, all the same I might add
Not even one
No, I don’t regret none
They’re paid out, all wiped out and crossed out
All the passed I tossed out
With all my souvenirs
I light up a fire
My sour tears and my cheers
I no longer require
I wiped out my affairs
and all of their wakes still
Pushed for good down the stairs
I restart from a nil
Not even one
No, I don’t regret none
Nor the good, I’ve had some
Nor the bad, all the same I might add
Not even one
No, I don’t regret none
Cause my life, my delight
from this night, with just you will take flight
Non, 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 ça m'est bien égal !
Non, rien de rien
Non, je ne regrette rien
C'est payé, balayé, oublié
Je me fous du passé !
Avec mes souvenirs
J'ai allumé le feu
Mes chagrins, mes plaisirs
Je n'ai plus besoin d'eux !
Balayées les amours
Et tous leurs trémolos
Balayés pour toujours
Je repars à zéro
Non, rien de rien
Non, je ne regrette rien
Ni le bien qu'on m'a fait
Ni le mal; tout ça m'est bien égal !
Non, rien de rien
Non, je ne regrette rien
Car ma vie, car mes joies
Aujourd'hui, ça commence avec toi
Piaf dedicated her recording of the song to the French Foreign Legion.At the time of the recording, France was engaged in a military conflict, the Algerian War (1954--1962), and the 1st REP (1st Foreign Parachute Regiment) — which backed a temporary putsch of 1961 by the French military against the civilian leadership of Algeria — adopted the song when their resistance was broken. The leadership of the Regiment was arrested and tried but the non-commissioned officers, corporals and Legionnaires were assigned to other Foreign Legion formations. They left the barracks singing the song, which has now become part of the French Foreign Legion heritage and is sung when they are on parade.

Agree with you Trader, There is a memory in every song, I remember sailing between the islands of Trinidad and Tobago, And we had a little wireless in our cabin doing a balancing act on the round window and this was played I can remember it as if it was yesterday, Happy Days Regards Terry.
