NON JE NE REGRETTE RIEN

I won’t regret loving you, I never will
The risks I took and the fears I had
Its all nothing against your worth
The joy you give and the smile you bring
Your arms around me and the moments we shared

You and me against the world
The distance between us
The lonesome each time we go apart
I wont regret as everything is worth enduring for

I live with fears, that one day you maybe gone
When my life is in your hand and my happiness is in your love
But I wont regret my love as you’ve given me your best

If one day I get hurt, if it happen that I fail
I will still be thankful
For somehow you made me believe in love
I will not succumb in pain

When I die, I wont be regretful
My life went meaningful, you made it complete
You gave me love, more than I deserve
I could wish for perpetuity, but I wont regret.

No, no regrets.
When you live, expect death
And in love, there will be pain
For every hope, there is a fear behind
Don’t regret , all the things are meant to be.

LA MôME

She came from nowhere, down to the streets of Paris and she had the world at her feet. With strong adoration to St. Therese of the Child Jesus, a child with so much hope but less fate, Edith became one of the world's most famous person. Her talent was the only weapon, with her love as her fortress and her entire life as the battlefield, she conquered and triumphed over the whole world. She died of a cancer, caused by alcohol and heroin, at the peak of her fame but her life was never wasted as she lived to the fullest of it. She is an admirable woman with a brilliant life and a legendary existence.

Edith Piaf was nobody to me until I've watched La Môme, a masterpiece by Olivier Dahan and starred by Marion Cotillard. The film tribute to the legendary Edith Piaf earned various recognitions all over the world and the most awaited and anticipated Oscars 2008.

Technically, La MôME is outstanding. The mileu is set perfectly with all the time elements of the early 20th century. The phasing is absolutely artistic as it jumps from one phase of her life to another and back, making us desire to watch it again entirely. One of the best parts of it is when she was lamenting over Marcel's death, transitioning to her coming out to the stage. Its very symbolic as her life went revolving around her lovelife and the desperation due to the loss of her love resulted to coming back to the stage to perform once again.

The portrayal of Edith's life on this film is marvelous and very moving. I've read one review about this, critizising the film's perspective as according to the critic, it focused on the bad story of her. I strongly believe that the film is very powerful, the element of pain and sorrow made it even more interesting. This picture showed us how Edith Piaf went with her life, with drug addiction, alcoholism and her illness, that afterall, everyone could tell at the end of the movie that she lived a wonderful life and remained adorable despite of everything. Million of people today knows Edith at heart because of this film. Her rise and fall became an inspiration to everyone to appreciate life, fate and of course, her legendary music.


LOST & FOUND

I woke up each morning, I didn’t know what I want.
Couldn’t live each day, I forgot who I was.
The old me has gone, cant seem to recall
I am dosed in the old city and I cant get away from it.

I was a stranger to myself
A survivor of my own fate
I kept believing on genuine people as I thought
But I never found a comfort in the city where life is a trouble

Heading to nowhere, to a place I’ve never been
Getting insane about things, I went breaking myself free
Driving down south my mind was still bare
Empty as my life is, with fears, regrets and risks.

I woke up and open my eyes
And I saw your face before mine
In a strange land I found warmth
In myself I found peace.

I found the love in you, Scarborough
I belong to you
You had me at my worst and you have me at my best
You may not deserve me, but my love will be forever yours

The simple life you brought is the greatest thing I ever had
I want to spend a lifetime with you
I wanna die in your arms, Scarborough.
