Non, je ne regrette rien [English translation]

No...nothing at all

No! I don't regret a thing

Neither the kindnesses people have done me

Nor the cruel things; to me, they're all the same !

No...nothing at all

No! I don't regret a thing

It's all paid for, swept up, and forgotten

I'm glad it's all in the past !

I used my memories

To set to fire

My troubles, my pleasures

I don't need them anymore !

Having swept away my former loves

And all their drama

Having swept them away forever

I 'm starting from scratch

No...nothing at all

No! I don't regret a thing

Neither the kindnesses people have done me

Nor the cruel things; to me, they're all the same !

No...nothing at all

No! I don't regret a thing

Because my life, because my joys
