And to make matters worse, just one letter from you! I'll try to have you on the phone tonight, hearing your voice might be better. I will finish my letter tonight, well I mean tomorrow night but for me it is tonight since it is one o'clock, I obviously canceled the communication that I requested at midnight because they replied that it took four hours so I'll call you tomorrow, but after all, I'll end my letter today, trying to be less bitter and less sad. I reread my letter and I realize that it does not stand up, that it is as crazy as me. Finally the main thing for the moment is that it works very hard for you, I think this is the last joke that happens to me. Tomorrow we are going to Antwerp and it seems that it will be great, that the publicity is extraordinary, we will see, I am not talking to you about the orchestra which had forgotten its orchestrations, in short, let’s not talk about that anymore. Do you still love me Tell me better, I have the distinct impression that I am losing you, anyway speak to me frankly no matter what, I don't want our love to be based on gratitude or pity because I love you so much my little big one, your flea who is very sad and all distraught! Kiss everywhere everywhere ..… ”


Testimony of this passionate love between the glorious Edith Piaf and the young and handsome beginner Yves Montand, who provided the opening acts for Piaf at the Moulin Rouge. This affair lasted two years, from 1944 to 1946. Edith Piaf put an abrupt end to it, but the unfortunate Yves Montand struggled to recover: "She sang wonderfully well when she was in love and wonderfully well when she broke up. ".
