From Wikipedia:
The original French lyrics were written by Edith Piaf and the music by Marguerite Monnot. Edith Piaf first sang this song at the Cabaret Versailles in New York on September 14, 1949.
It was written to her lover and the love of her life, the French boxer, Marcel Cerdan. On October 28, 1949 Cerdan was killed in a plane crash on his way from Paris to New York to come see her. She recorded the song on 2 May 1950.
"Hymne à l'amour" was translated into English by Piaf's protegé Eddie Constantine as "Hymn to Love", which was recorded by Piaf on her album La Vie En Rose / Édith Piaf Sings In English (1956). This version featured on Cyndi Lauper's 2003 album At Last.
It was also adapted into English as "If You Love Me (Really Love Me)" with lyrics by Geoffrey Parsons, first recorded in this form in 1952 by Vera Lynn.
