Je Ne Regrette Rien
No Regrets
No! No regrets
No! I will have no regrets
All the things
That went wrong
For at last I have learned to be strong
No! No regrets
No! I will have no regrets
For the grief doesn't last
It is gone
I've forgotten the past
And the memories I had
I no longer desire
Both the good and the bad
I have flung in a fire
And I feel in my heart
That the seed has been sown
It is something quite new
It's like nothing I've known
No! No regrets
No! I will have no regrets
All the things that went wrong
For at last I have learned to be strong
No! No regrets
No! I will have no regrets
For the seed that is new
It's the love that is growing for you
I regret giving mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to a wasp. It stung me on the lips. Also, nailing my shoes to the floorboards next to my bed to stop the dog from taking them away. The next morning I put the shoes on and fell flat on my face.
I guess there are others but over all, regrets ... I've had a few; but then again too few to mention.
I've always been independent and did it my way. Never ever have I plagiarised from anyone. No one should plagiarise. You may say I'm a dreamer. But I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us. And the world will be as one.
If you have any regrets, and you can put them right, do so right now. If you cannot put them right pray about them, seek forgiveness and hand them to God.
...i have just a few regrets.
ReplyDeleteBREAKING NEWS: I regret answering the phone today whilst I had a pizza in the oven.
DeleteGod bless, Tom.
I have a few regrets too.
ReplyDeleteBREAKING NEWS: Burnt pizza tastes awful.
DeleteGod bless, Bill.
Dearest Victor,
ReplyDeleteWell, we both regret for not having had a video camera when flying in a helicopter from Jakarta to Yogjakarta and due to fog, next day to our work area. The views were just heavenly!
Also from other dangerous periods while on the road in India and Indonesia—wish we'd have smart phones back then!
The 2nd video is NOT showing—it reads — Video unavailable...
Hugs,
Mariette
That's true, there are so many occasions when video would have been great.
DeleteHave you tried the 2nd video on You Tube? Sometimes some videos do not show in some countries.
Are other readers experiencing problems wit the 2nd video - the English version of the song?
God bless, Mariette.
Can't click ANYTHING, no link to YouTube...!
DeleteVery strange. I take it the French version is playing OK.
DeleteTHAT is showing and playing...
DeleteHow about now ... third video?
DeleteThat works!
DeleteI do regret not inspecting my bologna sandwich when we were out on a picnic. I would have known there was a bumble bee that snuck inside. Ouch in the mouth.
ReplyDeleteWhat? How did the bumble bee get there? That must have been very painful, Brian.
DeleteGod bless.
I have regrets.
ReplyDeleteMe too ... I've put mine in a photo album.
DeleteGod bless, Sandi.
I have regrets, Victor, and I know I must turn them all over to Jesus and seek His forgiveness.
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
I understand, Martha. We all make mistakes at some time or other.
DeleteGod bless.
Yes, I've more than a few regrets. Thank you for your recommendation.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I wasn't familiar with this song until, years ago I saw a televised commercial for Dove chocolates. (Link below) Immediately, I was hooked by the emotion in her voice.

What a lovely memory. I have not seen this advert for a while. Over here it is shown as Galaxy Chocolate. It is the same as Dove. Dove (sold as Galaxy in the UK, Ireland, the Middle East, India and Australia) is an American brand of chocolate owned and manufactured by Mars.
DeleteThe lyrics in the song, in English, are very powerful.
As for regrets. What we should do, Mevely, is learn from them, put them behind us, and move on. My regrets often come to mind, but when I rethink, I am convinced that I was right in what I did and would do it again in similar circumstances.
God bless always my friend.
I think we all have some regrets, but hopefully we have learned from them.
ReplyDeleteAmen Happyone. God bless you.
DeleteYou said: If you cannot put them right pray about them, seek forgiveness and hand them to God.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Regrets, everyone has a few. But for me, I must thank you for the REMINDER, I am working on them.
Love from this side...
Sherry & jack
Let us all pray for our regrets and seek God's grace and forgiveness.
DeleteGod bless you always, Jack and Sherry.
Yes, i have some, and yes, i've prayed over them. Some still haunt me.
ReplyDeleteDo not let them haunt you, Mimi. Life is not a video recorded on tape or a CD. You cannot rewind the tape and record over it again.
DeleteAs best you can, let go of the past regrets. Hand them over to God and say you cannot change the past and if you were in the wrong ask for His forgiveness. And move on in the love and care of the Lord.
Praying for you. God bless.
I'm sure most of us have some regrets, but it is best to learn from them ...
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed listening to Edith Piaf.
All the best Jan
Yes, we all have regrets. Piaf was a good singer.
DeleteGod bless, Jan.
