going french

i remember watching the 2008 oscar awards w/ my dad & sis months ago, and i was impressed w/ the best actress, marion cotillard. she starred in a true-to-life movie, which brought her the most prestigious oscar award. in the movie, she played edith piaf, one of paris's greatest singers. i was enthralled by the way she portrayed the old lady role. i was in awe when i saw that. no doubt she won as the best actress.

inspired by her greatness, i searched the movie on youtube, and i found myself watching all the trailers of la vie en rose (the movie). here's one:

i also found a video from that movie, w/ marion cotillard singing one of edith piaf's hits in 1960 entitled "non je ne regrette rien" w/c simply means "no regrets". i'm actually trying to sing it right now (haha!). i found it interesting..it's a nice song. ^_^ check it out..

..and the lyrics..

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

Avec Mes Souvenirs J`ai Allume Le Feu
Mes chagrins, Mes Plaisirs,
Je N`ai Plus Besoin D`eux
Balaye Les Amours Avec Leurs Tremolos
Balaye Pour Toujours
Je Repare A Zero

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
Car Ma Vie, Car Mes Joies
Aujourd`hui Ca Commence Avec Toi

..that's all. i'm going french! ^_^
