Heaven have a mercy lyrics Edith Piaf

Heaven have a mercy


No more smiles, no more tears
No more prayers, no more fears
Nothing left, why go on
When your lover is gone
Shout with one
Ring the bells
Throughout the towns
And the farms
Will the shouts and the bells
Bring him back to my arms
Must each man go to war
Evermore, evermore
While some lone woman stands
Empty heart, empty hands
When the time came to part
And he kissed me goodbye
From the depths of my heart
Came a great lonely cry:

Heaven have mercy!
Heaven have mercy!

Miners came
They carved his name
Upon a cross...
I remember the dance
Where we first fell in love
How we whirled 'round and 'round
While the stars danced above
We would walk by the shore
Watch the ships sail away
Lovers need nothing more
Just a new dream each day
So we dreamed of a home
With a garden so fine
And a son with his eyes
And a nose just like mine
Now it's done, why be brave?
Why should I live like this?
Shall I wait by the grave
For my lost lover's kiss?

Stop the bell! Stop the bell!!
I've no tears left to cry
Must I stay here in hell?
Lord above, let me die...

Heaven have mercy!
Heaven have mercy!
Heaven have mercy!

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 

The lyrics HEAVEN HAVE A MERCY of EDITH PIAF is also present in the album La môme (2007)

Biografia

Édith Piaf, pseudonimo di Édith Giovanna Gassion (Parigi, 19 dicembre 1915 – Grasse, 11 ottobre 1963), è stata una cantante francese di fama internazionale. Conosciuta come "La Môme Piaf" o "Il Passerotto", ha dominato la scena musicale francese tra gli anni Trenta e Sessanta. Nata in un quartiere popolare di Parigi, la sua infanzia fu segnata dalla povertà e dalla perdita del padre. Iniziò a cantare per strada all'età di sette anni, guadagnandosi il soprannome "Passerotto" (piaf in francese). La sua voce potente e versatile, capace di passare da toni aspri a melodie dolci, la rese una delle artiste più amate della Francia. Piaf divenne un simbolo di resistenza e ribellione contro le ingiustizie sociali, anticipando il movimento intellettuale della rive gauche con canzoni che riflettevano l'angoscia e la disperazione del tempo. Tra i suoi brani più celebri figurano "La Vie en Rose", "Non, Rien de Rien", "Hymne à l'Amour" e "Milord". La sua vita fu segnata da tragedie personali, tra cui incidenti stradali, malattie e un tentativo di suicidio. Nonostante le difficoltà, Piaf continuò a cantare fino alla fine, lasciando un'eredità musicale indimenticabile.
