I watched the opening ceremonies & as soon as Princess Celine opened her mouth I started to cry. She was magical & wonderful. So proud of her ! Bravo 👏
While I was excited to watch the Olympics anticipating who would win medals, Celine Dion gave a Platinum performance that will be remembered for years.
she’s singing Hymne à l’amour, originally by Edith Piaf, she put her own spin on the song while also honoring the originality of the song. the musical director released a statement saying that performances are usually prerecorded to avoid technical issues but celine refused to do it prerecorded and insisted on singing live, which she did.
All the people saying "this was pre-recorded bla bla bla" ... SO WHAT? Even IF ... she recorded the vocals the day before, she still had to sing and perform, in her condition. Just wow You can also watch the rehersal, she sang a whole tone below this. This performence, to me belongs next to "Queen at Life Aid" aka the best musical performence of all time.

Please reply ...i only found 1 story on google saying Edith Piaf wrote the song for her lover-boxer Marcel Cedan ONLY ONE MONTH BEFORE his tragic plane crash ... Is that right ???
Great reaction. The vocal technique & nuances exhibited in this LIVE performance in the rain shows why Celine Dion belongs in the pantheon of the greatest singers of our generation.

Yes he said Kelly Clarkson he was asking her what she tough and couldn't response because she was crying she said after a few moment that in her field of work Céline has always win the GOLD medal and that she is literaly a vocal athlète
The performance is allegedly not live, contrary to her team's claims. A video was uploaded from a French TV station before any copyright or pitch correction could be applied to a live performance. Although that video has since vanished, it exists somewhere, and when compared to the pitch-corrected version, they align perfectly, which is unfeasible in a live setting.
Yep. It’s true. The Wings of Pegasus channel goes into a lot of detail like you have mentioned. Besides, she sounded way tooo good so that was one of my tip offs. No one sounds like that! I was honestly gutted and then like… why be gutted? She did sing! Granted not what we heard etc. But the little bit I heard from that video you mentioned, you could tell she can still sing…but I’m also not sure she was singing for more than a handful of seconds at a time because all the sudden, she would sound exactly like the track. And also… everyone at the Olympics is using a prerecorded audio I was told bc there’s just too much on the line if things go wrong like the mic. And also… basically everyone is auto tuned or pitch corrected these days… it’s a travesty. I went down a rabbit hole can you tell? 😂
This is a song written by Edith Piaf, a great singer about her boyfriend that died in a crash, it's about the love they had. Hymne A L'amoure, the words are intense.
Amazing reaction! After watching the documentary this performance was so much more than I could even hope for ❤ I watched it so many times and I'm tearing up every time - on this evening, experiencing it live in front of the TV I was a complete mess 😂 I adore her matured voice reflecting all the happiness, pain, grief and love - her entire life! So happy for her that she finally receives the flowers from all over the world!!!
My head snapped up when I heard Celine’s voice and …. the tears started 😢. I wasn’t sure we’d ever hear her iconic voice again. I’ve been lucky…I saw her live back in the 90’s, before Titanic, before she was truly an icon. And I’m not particularly religious, but to hear Celine sing live is to know that she was truly touched by God. Her heart and compassion and joy were so contagious. People from 4 years old to 80 were dancing in the aisles-I’ve never experienced anything like her before or since (and I was lucky enough to see Whitney as well)! There are so many talented artists out there but none compare (imho) She is the GOAT! And we are so lucky she’s back! From Celine to…Simone to Suni to Katy and so many more athletes …. These Olympics aren’t even over but there is so much inspiration everywhere you look. Btw, I love it that you called her Aunty Celine! 💜 Great reaction!
Ditto on everything - except I did not see Whitney. Saw Celine in the 90's with Yoyo Ma ....& same ...the voice of an Angel sent by God himself. Was blessed to see Andrea Bocelli ...the male version of the same. This performance made me weep & I have watched it probably 30x's by now. Same Reaction.
She's singing in french.She's got a good voice . A guy named Aldo Nova wrote some of her songs he also wrote songs for Bon Jovi & Blue Oyster Cult he also sings ,& plays guitar.
There's since been a picture of her as a girl from 1982 that's come up, which shows her during her first trip to Paris. Back then, she had a dream of singing from the Eiffel Tower. Who knew she would actually get to do it one day? She was born in a town called Charlemagne, a town about 15 miles northeast of Montreal, Quebec, Canada. She was the youngest of fourteen kids in her family.
J’adore Céline, amazing come back! Staff was on standby just in case she had a medical emergency. She was like an angel over Paris for those five minutes, sharing love with the world.❤ We in Quebec are a Canadian province that speaks French .
Celine Dion is a French Canadian from, the town of Charlemagne in the province of Quebec. ( a small village 50 mile outside of Montreal) . She sang ,Edith Piaf's Hymne à l'amour , or Hymn to Love, is a 1949 . French song with words by Édith Piaf and music by Marguerite Monnot.
I’ve been listening to Celine Dion and Andrea Boccelli literally since before I came into the world, so, to see Celine singing again despite her medical issue, just made me super happy ❤️
What do Celine Dion, Wolverine and Britt have in common? Each of them is the best there is at what they do!! Merci Celine, and well done Britt, as usual!!
Watching this performance on TV with so much emotion and tears… great performance and comeback from Céline… she is from my country the Province of Quebec
This is 'Hyme de l'Amour' - the Hymn to Love, written by France's greatest singer Edith Piaf after the death of her fiancee (a famous French boxer) in a plane crash in 1949. Celine was spectacular in voice, looks, courage, and fashion. It was magnifique! BTW Quebec is a province of CANADA, NOT France.
4:07 You have coincidentally answered your own question, the song is about "I don't care (of anything) because you love me". Her (Édith Piaf's) lover had just died in a plane crash on the way seeing her, when she asked him to ride a plane instead of a boat.
The song is call "Hymne a l'amour", "Hymn to love" it tell of the love you feels for a husband or partner. Celine lost her husband René Angélil eight years ago. The blue sky over us can collapse And the Earth can crumble I don't care as long as you love me I don't care about the whole world As long as love fills my mornings As long as my body quivers under your hands I don't care about the problems My love, since you love me I would go to the ends of the earth I would have my hair dyed blonde If you asked me I would go and get the moon I would go and steal the fortune If you asked me I would deny my homeland I would deny my friends If you asked me They can laugh all they want I would do anything If you asked me If one day, life tears you away from me If you die, let you be far from me I don't care, if you love me Because I would die too We will have for us eternity In the blue of all the immensity In the sky, no more problem My love, do you think we love each other? God unites those who love each other
BRITT! When will you sing some of YOUR favorite songs on your channel? Huh? We know from the little snippets you do sing that you have been gifted with a beautiful voice! When Britt? Ya big CHICKEN!
I found this translation of the French lyrics. Especially the last sentence hits home: 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 reunites those who love each other.
Celin Dion’s documentary was heartbreaking but I also feel like it shows how strong of a woman she is. I was emotional watching that but this performance… Watching this performance, on TV, it had me crying from start to finish. What a beautiful comeback she made. I hope she was well afterwards and that this performance didn’t trigger any spasms. She sounded amazing and looked absolutely stunning.
As a French Canadian who knows how difficult it may be to get recognized in your field ,Celine for us is an icon, a complete accomplishment, an exemple , she works so much to get this perfection, everything she haves she deserved it . Her voice , her personality , her work , her passion , her respect for people is something that we will never seen again. She speaks and sings perfectly in French or English. She is so concerned about the suffering people I am just feeling guilty to not be as perfect as she is and I try to remember this every day because it makes me happy.
I don't think there has been a versatile voice like Céline. I am always proud of a fellow Canadian and pray she keeps healing. I also don't begrudge artists that make it big. It is not given to them and they put the work in to get where they are.
Hey Britt, an amazing reaction (as always). Simply love your energy. I've always loved this song, especially that last phrase "Dieu réunit ceux qui s'aiment" - God brings together/unites those who love each other. Heartbreaking yet hopeful at the same time.
I met Celinebe before she learned English, there were some fans in the crowd, and she knew me from photos I had taken of Montreal performers, she was so good, I could not believe it. Then big times!!
You are part right the providence of Québec is a Canadian providence but you are right to say that it is 85%french poeples who speak french and i am one of Them living in Montréal just like Céline who grew Up in the town of Charlemagne just 10 min from Montréal ❤️
As a French who saw it live on TV, I was... Mesmerized. This song is a legend, and so is Céline. To be honest, I think it was the best part of the ceremony and it somehow saved it 😅 The song is "L'hymne à l'amour" originally sung by Edith Piaf, released in 1950. In case you wanna understand the lyrics : The blue sky could fall on us The earth could collapse I don't care, if you love me I don't care about the whole world As long as my mornings will be flooded by love As long as my body will shake under your hands I don't care about problems My love, because you love me I'd tour the world, I'd dye my hair blonde If you asked me to I'd grab the moon, I'd steal a fortune If you asked me to I'd deny my homeland, I'd deny my friends If you asked me to They can laugh at me but I'd do anything If you asked me to If life eventually tears you apart from me If you die and disappear far from me I don't care, if you love me Because I'll die too We'll have eternity for us Inside the universe's endless blue In the sky, no more problems My love, do you think we're in love? God reunites lovers Hope this helps 😘
She’s signing ode to love from Edith Piaf. She’s a French signer from the 50’s. you need to watch the documentary till the end because he end is gut wrenching, you’ll see. I’m from Quebec myself, and she’s from a town called Charlemagne. This town is literally next to mine. The is a street called by her name in Charlemagne. She’s the real deal and we feel connected to her because of her amazing generosity and personality. Thank you for your reaction.
Canadian province: French is main language in province and there is a special bond between France and Quebec. Celine sounded wonderful. My favorite Edith Piaf song: Non, je ne regrette rien {No, I regret nothing]
CONTINUE TO WATCH THE VIDEO I AM CELINE DION,YOU DIDN'T SEE ALL SHE WENT THOUGH,SHE HAD A BAD MOMENT WITH HER BODY AFTER TRYING TO SING,IT IS HEART BREAKING. SO TO COME BACK AND SING AT THE OLYMPIC, I THING IS A MIRACLE.THANK GOD, LIKE YOU SAID SHE IS AN ANGEL,WITH HER LOVE SONGS SHE HEAL LOT OF PEOPLE HAVING TOUGH TIME. BRAVO CÉLINE,THANK YOU!!! FROM A FRENCH CANADIAN TO AN OTHER,LISE FROM CANADA. P.S. PUT THE TRANSLATION OF THE WORDS OF THE SONG,IT IS SO BEAUTIFUL. IT IS FROM A FRENCH SINGER EDITH PIAF,SHE WROTE THE SONG AFTER THE LOVE OF HER LIFE DIED IN A PLANE CRASH. BYE
You better give a heart :) this is from 1950, originally from Édith Piaf Translation: Hymn to love Le ciel bleu sur nous peut s'effondrer The blue sky can tumble down upon us Et la Terre peut bien s'écrouler And the earth can also collapse Peu m'importe si tu m'aimes It doesn't matter, since you love me Je me fous du monde entier I don't care about the entire world Tant qu'l'amour innondera mes matins As long as love will flood my mornings Tant qumon corps frémira sous tes mains As long as my body will tremble beneath your hand Peu m'importe les problèmes Problems won't matter Mon amour, puisque tu m'aimes My love, since you love me J'irais jusqu'au bout du monde I would go to the end of the earth Je me ferais teindre en blonde I would dye my hair blonde Si tu me le demandais If you asked it of me J'irais décrocher la Lune I would go unhook the moon J'irais voler la fortune I would go steal a fortune Si tu me le demandais If you asked it of me Je renierais ma patrie I would disown my country Je renierais mes amis I would disown my friends Si tu me le demandais If you asked it of me On peut bien rire de moi People can make fun of me Je ferais n'importe quoi I would do anything Si tu me le demandais If you asked it of me Si un jour, la vie t'arrache à moi If one day life tears us apart Si tu meurs, que tu sois loin de moi If you die and be far away from me Peu m'importe si tu m'aimes It doesn't matter since you love me Car moi je mourrais aussi For I would die also Nous aurons pour nous l'éternité We will have eternity for ourselves Dans le bleu de toute l'immensité In the great blue immensity Dans le ciel, plus de problème In the heavens no more problems Mon amour, crois-tu qu'on s'aime? My love, do you believe in our love? Dieu réunit ceux qui s'aiment God reunites those who love one another ------------------------------------------------------------------ You're welcome, and phonetically your French is great, just sing it, that's how Céline learned English. Believe me you have a good ear.....or two :)
Hi, one of the most beautiful love songs in the world, this song written and sung by Edith Piaf in 1950... after her husband Marcel Cerdan (boxing world champion) died in a plane crash
WOW you hit the nail on the head with your explanation of the sheer sacrifice she has made for all her fans. She never wanted to disappoint any of us so she did what she had to to deliver the best of herself. As she said in her documentary " I want to give apples" she has amassed a fortune for all her hard work and as you stated it has afforded her the best medical and support team to get her through this very challenging and trying time. She is so Icon and a legend and I am proud to be a fellow French Canadian that praises her any chance I get....thanks for all you have done for us Celine
)Her most iconic event prior to these Olympics took place in Quebec City when Celine went on stage for the first time with her childhood idol, GInette Reno. The song is titled "Un peu plus haut" (A little higher). A must watch performance.
Yes you are right.. she is from the province of Quebec.. and I really think you should have finished the documentary before watching this. I say this.. because it would have even more of an impact on you if you did! lol I know... you already have been impacted.. but my gosh .. that documentary.. really leaves no page left unwritten. Then you see this.. and well... I wept all the way through her Olympic performance. Also.. the announcer... was sitting right beside Kelly Clarkson... and he was asking her as a world performer... her thoughts... but she couldn't speak.. as she was choked up and crying.. and the person who uploaded that vid.. cut the video right when he asked her.. but you can see clips of Kelly's response.. it was so endearing. Fantastic reaction Britt! Keep up the great content. Cheers from Ontario, Canada ☺🍁
Probably the most iconic French song .I just can't believe she put up such a masterclass after having seen lately the heartbreaking documentary

Had tears watching this as a huge Céline Dion fan. I thought we would never hear her beautiful voice again. But she SANG!! And what a voice!!
After everything she has gone thru , what seemed impossible, she over came , she right there was the true face of courage , love and hope
Your review of Celine was just wonderful
Yes he said Kelly Clarkson he was asking her what she tough and couldn't response because she was crying she said after a few moment that in her field of work Céline has always win the GOLD medal and that she is literaly a vocal athlète
Yes it was raining when celine sang, look the piano is soaked
The performance is allegedly not live, contrary to her team's claims. A video was uploaded from a French TV station before any copyright or pitch correction could be applied to a live performance. Although that video has since vanished, it exists somewhere, and when compared to the pitch-corrected version, they align perfectly, which is unfeasible in a live setting.
Yep. It’s true. The Wings of Pegasus channel goes into a lot of detail like you have mentioned. Besides, she sounded way tooo good so that was one of my tip offs. No one sounds like that! I was honestly gutted and then like… why be gutted? She did sing! Granted not what we heard etc. But the little bit I heard from that video you mentioned, you could tell she can still sing…but I’m also not sure she was singing for more than a handful of seconds at a time because all the sudden, she would sound exactly like the track. And also… everyone at the Olympics is using a prerecorded audio I was told bc there’s just too much on the line if things go wrong like the mic. And also… basically everyone is auto tuned or pitch corrected these days… it’s a travesty. I went down a rabbit hole can you tell? 😂
סלין מדהימה.שרה מדהים.כל כך מרגש.ביצוע מהמם❤❤❤❤❤אהבתי את התגובה שלך🤘🤘🤘🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶
This is a song written by Edith Piaf, a great singer about her boyfriend that died in a crash, it's about the love they had. Hymne A L'amoure, the words are intense.
Amazing reaction! After watching the documentary this performance was so much more than I could even hope for ❤ I watched it so many times and I'm tearing up every time - on this evening, experiencing it live in front of the TV I was a complete mess 😂 I adore her matured voice reflecting all the happiness, pain, grief and love - her entire life! So happy for her that she finally receives the flowers from all over the world!!!
i appreciate your adoration and wonderment of this song. your enthusiasm of the place. the eiffel tower. the amazing grace and talent of celine dion.
One of the most iconic performances that come round a few times in a life time ………. It was that good
CELiNE DiON 😊
My head snapped up when I heard Celine’s voice and …. the tears started 😢. I wasn’t sure we’d ever hear her iconic voice again.
I’ve been lucky…I saw her live back in the 90’s, before Titanic, before she was truly an icon. And I’m not particularly religious, but to hear Celine sing live is to know that she was truly touched by God. Her heart and compassion and joy were so contagious. People from 4 years old to 80 were dancing in the aisles-I’ve never experienced anything like her before or since (and I was lucky enough to see Whitney as well)! There are so many talented artists out there but none compare (imho) She is the GOAT! And we are so lucky she’s back! From Celine to…Simone to Suni to Katy and so many more athletes …. These Olympics aren’t even over but there is so much inspiration everywhere you look.
Btw, I love it that you called her Aunty Celine! 💜 Great reaction!
Ditto on everything - except I did not see Whitney. Saw Celine in the 90's with Yoyo Ma ....& same ...the voice of an Angel sent by God himself. Was blessed to see Andrea Bocelli ...the male version of the same.
This performance made me weep & I have watched it probably 30x's by now. Same Reaction.
It's a truly iconic and historic performance.
She's singing in french.She's got a good voice . A guy named Aldo Nova wrote some of her songs he also wrote songs for Bon Jovi & Blue Oyster Cult he also sings ,& plays guitar.
I cried through this entire performance. I adore her so much
There's since been a picture of her as a girl from 1982 that's come up, which shows her during her first trip to Paris. Back then, she had a dream of singing from the Eiffel Tower. Who knew she would actually get to do it one day?
She was born in a town called Charlemagne, a town about 15 miles northeast of Montreal, Quebec, Canada. She was the youngest of fourteen kids in her family.
J’adore Céline, amazing come back! Staff was on standby just in case she had a medical emergency. She was like an angel over Paris for those five minutes, sharing love with the world.❤
We in Quebec are a Canadian province that speaks French .
Celine Dion is a French Canadian from, the town of Charlemagne in the province of Quebec. ( a small village 50 mile outside of Montreal) . She sang ,Edith Piaf's Hymne à l'amour , or Hymn to Love, is a 1949 . French song with words by Édith Piaf and music by Marguerite Monnot.
I’ve been listening to Celine Dion and Andrea Boccelli literally since before I came into the world, so, to see Celine singing again despite her medical issue, just made me super happy ❤️
It’s a love song! To me it’s a love song to the whole world. Begging the world to love itself. To love each other.
The greatest of all love songs! ❤
What do Celine Dion, Wolverine and Britt have in common? Each of them is the best there is at what they do!! Merci Celine, and well done Britt, as usual!!
Watching this performance on TV with so much emotion and tears… great performance and comeback from Céline… she is from my country the Province of Quebec
This is 'Hyme de l'Amour' - the Hymn to Love, written by France's greatest singer Edith Piaf after the death of her fiancee (a famous French boxer) in a plane crash in 1949. Celine was spectacular in voice, looks, courage, and fashion. It was magnifique!
BTW Quebec is a province of CANADA, NOT France.
4:07 You have coincidentally answered your own question, the song is about "I don't care (of anything) because you love me". Her (Édith Piaf's) lover had just died in a plane crash on the way seeing her, when she asked him to ride a plane instead of a boat.
Always when she sings in French she is a vision of excellence! ❤️💪🏻🤞🏻🇫🇷
This our celine 🇲🇫 we miss her , hi from France, i was in Paris , magistral !
The song is call "Hymne a l'amour", "Hymn to love" it tell of the love you feels for a husband or partner. Celine lost her husband René Angélil eight years ago.
The blue sky over us can collapse
And the Earth can crumble
I don't care as long as you love me
I don't care about the whole world
As long as love fills my mornings
As long as my body quivers under your hands
I don't care about the problems
My love, since you love me
I would go to the ends of the earth
I would have my hair dyed blonde
If you asked me
I would go and get the moon
I would go and steal the fortune
If you asked me
I would deny my homeland
I would deny my friends
If you asked me
They can laugh all they want
I would do anything
If you asked me
If one day, life tears you away from me
If you die, let you be far from me
I don't care, if you love me
Because I would die too
We will have for us eternity
In the blue of all the immensity
In the sky, no more problem
My love, do you think we love each other?
God unites those who love each other
Your reaction is spot on and perfect!!! Thanks for your kind words and support for her!!!!
BRITT! When will you sing some of YOUR favorite songs on your channel? Huh? We know from the little snippets you do sing that you have been gifted with a beautiful voice! When Britt? Ya big CHICKEN!
I found this translation of the French lyrics. Especially the last sentence hits home: 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 reunites those who love each other.
Celine is singing "L'Hymne à l'Amour" (The Hymn of Love) from Edith Piaf (french singer).
Yes, Britt, I was very moved.❤
She's 56 But Her Voice Is Totally Back The Same...
Whitney Is Proud Of Her Bcoz Shes Part Of The Best Trinity
Celin Dion’s documentary was heartbreaking but I also feel like it shows how strong of a woman she is. I was emotional watching that but this performance… Watching this performance, on TV, it had me crying from start to finish. What a beautiful comeback she made. I hope she was well afterwards and that this performance didn’t trigger any spasms. She sounded amazing and looked absolutely stunning.
Celine for the WIN!!!!!!!!
I love your words. Beautiful reaction.
I like how she incorporate a bit of Edith Piaf in her voice, it's all wanted, nothing to do with her disease. An incredible performance.
Opened more hearts than any artist ever on earth!!!
🙌🌟😇📯⚡️✨️👑🌞🤗⭐️🌝🎗💫🏅🟡😇🙌🔥⚡️⚡️📯🫠🌞🤗💛💛💛🤪😘🤪🎗💛💛💛💛💛💛💛⭐️⚡️✨️🌟😇
An Angel. When an artist gives us his soul
Celine is magnificent 😊
@ssYTBrittReacts-m4k hi hhow are you
As a French Canadian who knows how difficult it may be to get recognized in your field ,Celine for us is an icon, a complete accomplishment, an exemple , she works so much to get this perfection, everything she haves she deserved it . Her voice , her personality , her work , her passion , her respect for people is something that we will never seen again. She speaks and sings perfectly in French or English. She is so concerned about the suffering people I am just feeling guilty to not be as perfect as she is and I try to remember this every day because it makes me happy.
I don't think there has been a versatile voice like Céline. I am always proud of a fellow Canadian and pray she keeps healing. I also don't begrudge artists that make it big. It is not given to them and they put the work in to get where they are.
You may want to her singing "Because You Loved Me."
The studio video with the movie clips is so powerful by her.
Hey Britt, an amazing reaction (as always). Simply love your energy. I've always loved this song, especially that last phrase "Dieu réunit ceux qui s'aiment" - God brings together/unites those who love each other. Heartbreaking yet hopeful at the same time.
I met Celinebe before she learned English, there were some fans in the crowd, and she knew me from photos I had taken of Montreal performers, she was so good, I could not believe it. Then big times!!
Celine has changed that song to a prayer. God bless her
The title of the song is essentially The Hymn of Love
Ode to love
You are part right the providence of Québec is a Canadian providence but you are right to say that it is 85%french poeples who speak french and i am one of Them living in Montréal just like Céline who grew Up in the town of Charlemagne just 10 min from Montréal ❤️
The ending is "God reunites those who love one another"
Queen is back
As a French who saw it live on TV, I was... Mesmerized. This song is a legend, and so is Céline. To be honest, I think it was the best part of the ceremony and it somehow saved it 😅
The song is "L'hymne à l'amour" originally sung by Edith Piaf, released in 1950.
In case you wanna understand the lyrics :
The blue sky could fall on us
The earth could collapse
I don't care, if you love me
I don't care about the whole world
As long as my mornings will be flooded by love
As long as my body will shake under your hands
I don't care about problems
My love, because you love me
I'd tour the world, I'd dye my hair blonde
If you asked me to
I'd grab the moon, I'd steal a fortune
If you asked me to
I'd deny my homeland, I'd deny my friends
If you asked me to
They can laugh at me but I'd do anything
If you asked me to
If life eventually tears you apart from me
If you die and disappear far from me
I don't care, if you love me
Because I'll die too
We'll have eternity for us
Inside the universe's endless blue
In the sky, no more problems
My love, do you think we're in love?
God reunites lovers
Hope this helps 😘
Celines back!! Great video :)
Dress is/was hand beaded from the House of Dior
She’s signing ode to love from Edith Piaf. She’s a French signer from the 50’s. you need to watch the documentary till the end because he end is gut wrenching, you’ll see.
I’m from Quebec myself, and she’s from a town called Charlemagne. This town is literally next to mine. The is a street called by her name in Charlemagne. She’s the real deal and we feel connected to her because of her amazing generosity and personality.
Thank you for your reaction.
She is singing Edith Piaf - Hymne à l’amour
French 1950's hit from Edith Piaf
@@D45VRof course, but you know what I mean.
Canadian province: French is main language in province and there is a special bond between France and Quebec. Celine sounded wonderful. My favorite Edith Piaf song: Non, je ne regrette rien {No, I regret nothing]

I freely admit I cried when I saw and heard this. Because I know what she’s been through. And I wouldn’t even call myself a Celine Dion fan
You better give a heart :) this is from 1950, originally from Édith
Piaf
Translation: Hymn to love
Le ciel bleu sur nous peut s'effondrer
The blue sky can tumble down upon us
Et la Terre peut bien s'écrouler
And the earth can also collapse
Peu m'importe si tu m'aimes
It doesn't matter, since you love me
Je me fous du monde entier
I don't care about the entire world
Tant qu'l'amour innondera mes matins
As long as love will flood my mornings
Tant qumon corps frémira sous tes mains
As long as my body will tremble beneath your hand
Peu m'importe les problèmes
Problems won't matter
Mon amour, puisque tu m'aimes
My love, since you love me
J'irais jusqu'au bout du monde
I would go to the end of the earth
Je me ferais teindre en blonde
I would dye my hair blonde
Si tu me le demandais
If you asked it of me
J'irais décrocher la Lune
I would go unhook the moon
J'irais voler la fortune
I would go steal a fortune
Si tu me le demandais
If you asked it of me
Je renierais ma patrie
I would disown my country
Je renierais mes amis
I would disown my friends
Si tu me le demandais
If you asked it of me
On peut bien rire de moi
People can make fun of me
Je ferais n'importe quoi
I would do anything
Si tu me le demandais
If you asked it of me
Si un jour, la vie t'arrache à moi
If one day life tears us apart
Si tu meurs, que tu sois loin de moi
If you die and be far away from me
Peu m'importe si tu m'aimes
It doesn't matter since you love me
Car moi je mourrais aussi
For I would die also
Nous aurons pour nous l'éternité
We will have eternity for ourselves
Dans le bleu de toute l'immensité
In the great blue immensity
Dans le ciel, plus de problème
In the heavens no more problems
Mon amour, crois-tu qu'on s'aime?
My love, do you believe in our love?
Dieu réunit ceux qui s'aiment
God reunites those who love one another
------------------------------------------------------------------
You're welcome, and phonetically your French is great, just sing it, that's how Céline learned English. Believe me you have a good ear.....or two :)
Merci pour cette belle traduction.
Les anglophones pourront maintenant écouter cette immense chanson dramatique en comprenant le sens des paroles.
@@DanielleGagnon-p8v Merci, give me a thumb up so it stays near the top :)
Hi, one of the most beautiful love songs in the world, this song written and sung by Edith Piaf in 1950... after her husband Marcel Cerdan (boxing world champion) died in a plane crash
Give Celine a special PLATINUM medal from Paris Olympic Games 2024!
WOW you hit the nail on the head with your explanation of the sheer sacrifice she has made for all her fans. She never wanted to disappoint any of us so she did what she had to to deliver the best of herself. As she said in her documentary " I want to give apples" she has amassed a fortune for all her hard work and as you stated it has afforded her the best medical and support team to get her through this very challenging and trying time. She is so Icon and a legend and I am proud to be a fellow French Canadian that praises her any chance I get....thanks for all you have done for us Celine
)Her most iconic event prior to these Olympics took place in Quebec City when Celine went on stage for the first time with her childhood idol, GInette Reno. The song is titled "Un peu plus haut" (A little higher). A must watch performance.
Shes tied up there. Shes not falling.
Yes you are right.. she is from the province of Quebec.. and I really think you should have finished the documentary before watching this. I say this.. because it would have even more of an impact on you if you did! lol I know... you already have been impacted.. but my gosh .. that documentary.. really leaves no page left unwritten. Then you see this.. and well... I wept all the way through her Olympic performance. Also.. the announcer... was sitting right beside Kelly Clarkson... and he was asking her as a world performer... her thoughts... but she couldn't speak.. as she was choked up and crying.. and the person who uploaded that vid.. cut the video right when he asked her.. but you can see clips of Kelly's response.. it was so endearing. Fantastic reaction Britt! Keep up the great content. Cheers from Ontario, Canada ☺🍁
