Celine Dion belted out “Hymne a L’Amour” at the American Music Awards as a hauntingly beautiful tribute to the Paris attacks victims.
With iconic Parisian images behind her, Dion put her heart into Edith Piaf’s song.
In English, “The Hymn to Love” goes as follows:
The blue sky over us can collapse on itself
and the ground can (really) 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 tremble under your hands
The problems make little difference to me
My love, because you love me.
I will go to the end of the world
I will dye my hair blond
If you ask me to
I will go take down the moon
I will steal fortune
if you ask me to.
I will renounce my country
I will renounce my friends
if you ask me to.
One could really laugh at me
I will do anything
if you ask me to.
If one day life tears you away from me
if you die than you will be far from me
what’s it matter if you love me
because I will die too.
We will have for us, eternity
in the blue of all the immensity
in heaven, no more problems
my love do you believe that we love each other
God, reunite those who love each other.
