Celine Dion at Olympics 2024 Opening Ceremony in Paris (Reaction)

Celine Dion took to the rafters of the Eiffel Tower in Paris for the opening ceremony of the 2024 Olympic Games. Battling a debilitating condition called Stiff Person Syndrome, she put her heart into every syllable of Edith Piaf’s classic torch song Hymne a l’Amour. Celine, singing in her native French language, raised the evening to exceptional heights of emotion and created a performance that will go down in history. We cannot help but wonder: will Celine Dion return to singing in public again? Or was this her final, heartbreaking goodbye?

French Lyrics: L'hymne à l'amour

Le ciel bleu, sur nous, peut s’effondrer
Et la terre peut bien s’écrouler
Peu m’importe, si tu m’aimes
Je me fous du monde entier

Tant que l’amour, inondera mes matins
Tant que mon corps frémira sous tes mains
Peu m’importent les problèmes
Mon amour, puisque tu m’aimes

J’irais jusqu'au bout du monde
Je me ferais teindre en blonde
Si tu me le demandais
J’irais décrocher la lune
J’irais voler la fortune
Si tu me le demandais

Je renierais ma patrie
Je renierais mes amis
Si tu me le demandais
On peut bien rire de moi
Je ferais n’importe quoi
Si tu me le demandais

Si un jour, la vie t’arrache à moi
Si tu meurs, que tu sois loin de moi
Peu m’importe, si tu m’aimes
Car moi, je mourrai aussi

Nous aurons pour nous l’éternité
Dans le bleu, de toute l’immensité
Dans le ciel, plus de problèmes
Mon amour, crois-tu, qu’on s’aime ?

Dieu réunit, ceux qui s’aiment !

Hymn to love (English translation)

The blue sky can collapse on us
And the earth can crumble away
It doesn't matter to me if you love me
I don't care about the whole world

As long as love floods my mornings
As long as my body trembles under your hands
I don't care about the troubles
My love, since you love me

I would go to the end of the world
I would dye my hair blonde
If you asked me to
I would reach for the moon
I would steal fortune
If you asked me to

I would renounce my homeland
I would renounce my friends
If you asked me to
They can laugh at me
I would do anything
If you asked me to

If one day life tears you away from me
If you die far from me
It doesn't matter if you love me
Because I would die too

We will have eternity for us
In the blue of all immensity
In the sky, no more problems
My love, do you think we love each other

God unites those who love each other
