Hymne à l'amour est une chanson écrite et interprétée par Édith Piaf en 1949, qui la rendit immédiatement célèbre.

La musique est de Marguerite Monnot (mais la mélodie pourrait être de Piaf qui n'avait pas le droit de les déposer à la SACEM, ne sachant pas le solfège).

Piaf l'avait écrite en hommage au boxeur Marcel Cerdan qu'elle aimait. Elle l'interprète pour la première fois le 14 septembre 1949 au Versailles, un cabaret de New York. Le 27 octobre, Cerdan disparaît dans un accident d'avion. Piaf enregistre la chanson (qu'on croit souvent écrite après la mort de Cerdan, pour cette raison) le 2 mai 1950.
Hymne à l'Amour" ("Hymn to Love" in French) is a popular French song originally performed by Édith Piaf. The lyrics were written by Piaf and the music by Marguerite Monnot.

She 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 27, 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.

It has been adapted to English as "If You Love Me (Really Love Me)" (with lyrics by Geoffrey Parsons) and covered by various artists including Shirley Bassey, Dorothy Squires and Kay Starr, who had a hit with it in 1954; and alternatively as "Hymn to Love" (with lyrics by Eddie Constantine), and to Spanish as "Himno Al Amor".

The song inspired the movie Toutes Ces Belles Promesses (2003) by Jean-Paul Civeyrac.
