lyrics
If the sun should
tumble from the sky
If the sea should suddenly run dry
If you love me, really love me
Let it happen, I won't care
If it seems that everything is lost
I should smile and never count the cost
If you love me, really love me
Let it happen, darling, I won't care
Shall I catch a shooting star?
Shall I bring it where you are?
If you want me to, I will
You can set me any task
I'll do anything you ask
If you'll only love me still
When at last our life on earth is through
I shall share eternity with you
If you love me, really love me
Then whatever happens, I won't care
Then whatever happens, I won't care
If the sea should suddenly run dry
If you love me, really love me
Let it happen, I won't care
If it seems that everything is lost
I should smile and never count the cost
If you love me, really love me
Let it happen, darling, I won't care
Shall I catch a shooting star?
Shall I bring it where you are?
If you want me to, I will
You can set me any task
I'll do anything you ask
If you'll only love me still
When at last our life on earth is through
I shall share eternity with you
If you love me, really love me
Then whatever happens, I won't care
Then whatever happens, I won't care
"Hymne à l'amour" (French pronunciation: [imn
a lamuʁ]; French for "Hymn to Love") is a popular French
song originally performed by Édith Piaf.
The lyrics were
written by Piaf and the music by Marguerite Monnot. Piaf first sang this song at the Cabaret Versailles in New York City on September 14, 1949. It was written to her lover and
the love of her life, the French boxer, Marcel Cerdan. On October
28, 1949, Cerdan was killed in a plane crash on his way from Paris to New York to come to see her.
She recorded the song on May 2, 1950.
"Hymne à l'amour" was adapted into Japanese in 1951 as "Love Hymn" (愛の讃歌 Ai no Sanka), by singer Fubuki Koshiji, featuring lyrics by Tokiko Iwatani. The song became one of her signature songs, amassing around
2,000,000 copies sold of various singles featuring this song.
"Hymne à l'amour" was translated into English by Piaf's protégé Eddie Constantine as "Hymn to Love", which was recorded by Piaf
on her album La Vie En Rose / Édith Piaf Sings In English(1956). This version was featured on Cyndi Lauper's 2003 album At Last.
It was also adapted
into English as "If You Love Me (Really Love Me)" with lyrics by Geoffrey Parsons. Piaf then sang this version in Carnegie Hall at both of her performances in 1956 and 1957.
Subsequent covers by Vera Lynn in 1953, Kay Starr in 1954, Shirley Bassey in 1959 and Brenda Lee in 1961 brought fame to this version. Mary Hopkin recorded a version in 1976. Raquel Bitton features "Hymn to Love" in her tribute to
Piaf 2000. My Brightest Diamond performs it as a B-side on her From the Top of the
World single.
