Thanks to all you guys, for posting the lyrics and the link to the YouTube.
I've been a Piaf fan since about 1962 and this has been one of my favorites of her songs. But even though I studied French for two years in college (not the immersion type program that's used more now), I've been mis-hearing some of those lyrics for decades and just plain not knowing what to make of some of the others. I was able grasp the basic story, but I think I understood only about 25% of the actual lyrics, especially in the slower and spoken parts. It's nice to have the actual lyrics. Reading them while I watch Édith sing the song herself should help refresh my skills en Français.
