Edith Piaf

Just yesterday, I have no idea who Edith Piaf was, except that she's a French singer. But my curiosity is in their limit so I googling it. Actually i was interesting with Marion Cotillard. She's so gorgeous and her dresses every time in the red carpet! Gee. She's stunning. Anyway, she won Oscar for her role in La Vie En Rose, which is the true story of great French singer, Edith Piaf.

Ever since I listen Hymne L'amour by Josh Groban, I always can't help myself to replay it over and over again. And guess what? The real singer or my favorite song is her! But there's a story behind the song. A sad story.

So there was a guy named Marcel Cerdan, he was a famous boxer in France and married-guy with three children. However, he had affair with her and Wikipedia said that he's the love of her life. But tragically he was died in a plane crash from France to NY to meet her. And this song is dedicated for him. That's too bad. I wonder why stunning, strong French woman have the end of her love story like this. In the movie, Boy Capel had passed away by car accident when he went to see Coco Chanel. Or that's just dramatically scene? I have no clue.

But I just fall in love with her voices and her songs. I'll download her song, I must!

Anyway, here the English translation of Hymne L'amour that I found:

The blue sky can collapse in on itself

And the earth can cave in

Little matters to me if you love me

I couldn't care less about the whole world

As long as love will flood my mornings

As long as my body will quiver beneath your hands

The problems matter so little to me

My love, because you love me

I would go to the ends of the earth

I would dye my hair blonde

If you asked me to

I would pull down the moon

I would steal fortune

If you asked me to

I would disavow my homeland

I would disavow my friends

If you asked me to

One could well laugh at me

I would do anything

I would do anything

If you asked me to

If one day life tears you away from me

If you die and go far from me

Little matters to me if you love me

Because I will die too

We would have eternity for ourselves

In the blue of all the immensity

In heaven, no more problems

My love, do you believe that we love each other?

God reunites those who love each other
