Edith Piaf dedicated this song to the French Legion who then became his anthem.
It is said that during the war in Algeria, the Legion, sentitisi betrayed and abandoned by their country and the new president De Gaulle chose to leave Algiers marching with machine guns in hand and chanting the verses of this beautiful song.
And then the "Vie en Rose", "Milord", the "Hymne à l'amour", and many others.
What a woman and what a voice!
