Edith Piaf. Non, je ne regrette rien.



No, not at all
No, I don't regret anything
Not the good done to me
Not the bad, it's all the same.

No, not at all
No, I don't regret anything
It's paid for, swept away, forgotten
I don't give a damn about the past.

With my memories
I've made a bonfire
My sorrows, my joys
I don't need them any more...

absolutely adore her singing MOOO thank you

This is from a famous Peruvian group, "Alborada." They are using the traditional yellow male dress of the Chanca tribe. The song is Puyumuyumuwan ("The Clouds Around Me").



Puyumuyumuwan puyuwankumuwan waqaqta qawaspa wiqy ñawiyuqta.
Woyanku kayman puyunta pawayman piwiwaykypa sunqunta suqayman...

The Dead Heart

My beloved Dalida singing Darla dirladadà, a theme based on an old folk Greek melody.



There is in the distance a mountain
I sit on top of it and look around
I say "it's all mine" and believe it
Redirladà dirladadà
Deep down it takes very little
To become the King of the World
There I dance dirladadà

Dirladadà, is the world beautiful!
And the mad dance of life
Raises the whole world with two fingers
And hundreds of thousands of hearts party
Singing in the world right now
The same trite lightness of life
That makes dirla dirladadà...

A very old Argentinian tango, music by Mariano Mores, lyrics by Enrique Santos Discepolo. Uno ("One"), sung by Hugo del Carril.



One searches full of hope
the road that one's dreams
promised to one's wishes

One knows the struggle is cruel
but one fights and bleeds
supported by one's stubborn faith

One crawls among thorns,
and attempting to find love
the suffering destroys one's insides
until one realizes the heart is lost...

Another one from LatAm.

Paloma San Basilio, Cariño mío (1986). A song about infidelity.



I know you think I'm cheating on you
That I'm lying to you for the first time
My dear, why should I hide it?
Why should I tell you? What should I do?

I know if I deny it you won't believe me
And if I tell the truth you'll leave me
My dear, I'm afraid of you
It's not a game, it's much more than that.

My dear, I don't know what to do
To remain quiet and keep seeing him
Or to be honest and be loyal to you
My dear, now I don't know what to so.

Whatever you think, I can't keep quiet
What would be the use, torture each other?
You complete my soul, he completes my body
My dear, I'm truly sorry.

I'd have chosen not to, but it happened
What would it matter apologizing to you?
He is my wind, you are my port
I love you, but I desire him.

My dear, I don't know what to do
To remain quiet and keep seeing him
Or to be honest and be loyal to you
My dear, now I don't know what to so.

I love this song. It was used in Giuseppe Tornatore's movie Malèna. Ma l'amore no ("But not love"), on how all things in life are fragile and eventually die, but not love.

And from the sands of the pharoahs.
