"La Vie en Rose" is a song written by Louiguy in 1945 and popularized by Edith Piaf in 1947. The song is about seeing life through rose-colored glasses and enjoying the simple pleasures in life.

"La Vie en Rose" is a classic song that has been beloved by many for decades. The lyrics are romantic and nostalgic, and the melody is beautiful and catchy.

The original lyrics :

Des yeux qui font baisser les miens

Un rire qui se perd sur sa bouche

Voilà le portrait sans retouches

De l'homme auquel j'appartiens

Quand il me prend dans ses bras

Qu'il me parle tout bas

Je vois la vie en rose

Il me dit des mots d'amour

Des mots de tous les jours

Mais moi, ça me fait quelque chose

Il est entré dans mon cœur

Une grande part de bonheur

Dont je connais la cause

C'est lui pour moi, moi pour lui dans la vie

Il me l'a dit, l'a juré pour la vie

Et dès que je l'aperçois

Alors je sens en moi

Mon cœur qui bat

Des nuits d'amour à plus finir

Un grand bonheur qui prend sa place

Des ennuis, des chagrins s'effacent

Heureux, heureux à en mourir

Quand il me prend dans ses bras

Qu'il me parle tout bas

Je vois la vie en rose

Il me dit des mots d'amour

Des mots de tous les jours

Et ça me fait quelque chose

Il est entré dans mon cœur

Une part de bonheur

Dont je connais la cause

C'est lui pour moi, moi pour lui dans la vie

Il me l'a dit, l'a juré pour la vie

Et dès que je l'aperçois

Alors je sens en moi

Mon cœur qui bat

Et dès que je l'aperçois

Alors je sens en moi

Mon cœur qui bat

The Translation :

Eyes that make mine lower

A laugh that gets lost on his mouth

That's the portrait without retouching

Of the man to whom I belong

When he takes me in his arms

And he talks to me quietly

I see life in pink

He tells me words of love

Words of every day

But for me, it means something

He came into my heart

A lot of happiness

Which I know the cause of

It's him for me, me for him, in life

He told me, he swore it for life

And as soon as I see him

Then I feel in myself

My heart beating

Nights of love without end

A great happiness taking its place

Troubles, sorrows disappear

Happy, happy to the point of death

When he takes me in his arms

And he talks to me quietly

I see life in pink

He tells me words of love

Words of every day

And it means something to me

He came into my heart

A part of happiness

Which I know the cause of

It's him for me, me for him, in life

He told me, he swore it for life

And as soon as I see him

Then I feel in myself

My heart beating

And as soon as I see him

Then I feel in myself

My heart beating

I'm thankful for reading me because it gives me a chance to improve my writing and learn new things. It also helps me connect with other people who enjoy reading. Don't hesitate to drop me a line if you find something I can improve on or if you want to chat about books!

I do write in french too.
