"On n'oublie jamais rien, on vit avec" (engl.: you'll never forget anything, you live with that) is a 2003 song recorded by French artist Hélène Ségara and Italian singer Laura Pausini. It was the third single from Ségara's third studio album, Humaine, on which it features as ninth track. Released in November 2003, the song was a success in France, Belgium and Switzerland, remaining to date one of the most successful single of both singers in terms of chartings.

Background

Pausini and Ségara performing the song

When Humaine was recorded, Orlando wanted the album to contain a duet. He asked the Italian singer to participate in the vocal duet "On n'oublie jamais rien, on vit avec", and the two women met in 2003 for the recording. Italian lyrics of the song, "Per vivere il ricordo che ho di noi", were written by Laura Pausini.

Written and composed by Antoine Angelelli, Bruno Grimaldi and Gérard Capaldi, the song was the second multilingual duet for Ségara, after "

Vivo per lei (je vis pour elle)" with Andrea Bocelli
in 1996. As for this previous duet, the song mixes French (sung by Ségara) and Italian lyrics (sung by Pausini). This is a ballad pop which deals with love.

The song was also available on Ségara's best of just entitled

Le Best of
. It was included on many French compilations : Duos d'aujourd'hui, Girls 2004, NRJ Hit Music Only, NRJ Hit Music Only, Les Plus Belles Voix 3, released in 2004, and Vos Plus Belles Émotions (2005). It was also the third track on Ségara's 2004 CD single for "On ne dit pas".

Both singers performed the song in duet during the

NRJ Music Awards
in January 2004.

On April 13, 2012, Ségara joined Pausini as part of her Inedito World Tour and both sang the song.
