"Mourir sur scène" (transl. "To Die on Stage") is a 1983 song by Dalida, written by Michel Jouveaux and Jeff Barnel, and is often recognized as her most iconic late-career song.[1] Today, it is widely considered to be one of the most popular French songs in music history.[2]
The song, not anticipated as a success, was published in the B-side of the album Les p'tits mots, released in 1983. Due to the song's success, however, it would become a staple of Dalida's live repertoire until her final concert in 1987.[1]
Dalida released multiple translations of "Mourir sur scène", including "Born to Sing" in English, released as a single in the United Kingdom in 1984;[3] "Quando nasce un nuovo amore" ("When a New Love Is Born") in Italian;[4] and "Morir cantando" ("To Die Singing") in Spanish.[5]
Ajda Pekkan covered the song in Turkish in 1985 as "Bir gece sahnesi" ("One Night on the Stage"). Shirley Bassey covered the English version "Born to Sing" in 1986.
