Mourir sur scène

"Mourir sur scène" is a 1983 song by Dalida, and is often recognized as Dalida's most iconic late-career song. The song was written by Michel Jouveaux and Jeff Barnel. Today, it is widely considered to be one of the most popular French songs in music history.

The single appears on the album Les p'tits mots, released in 1983. This song, not anticipated as a success, was published as the B-side of Les petits mots. Due to the song's success, it would become a staple of Dalida's live repertoire until her final concert in 1987.

Ajda Pekkan covered it in Turkish in 1985 as Bir Gece Sahnesi (One Night on the Stage). Shirley Bassey covered it in English as "Born to Sing", in 1986.
