Lyrics by Edith Piaf
Music by Louiguy
enr. 9 octobre 1946
- Des yeux qui font baiser les miens,
Un rire qui se perd sur sa bouche,
Voila le portrait sans retoucheDe l’homme auquel j’appartiens
Quand il me prend dans ses bras
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 ca me fait quelque chose.
Il est entre dans mon coeur
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 jure pour la vie.Et des que je l’apercois
Alors je sens en moi
Mon coeur qui batDes nuits d’amour a ne plus en finir
Un grand bonheur qui prend sa place
Des enuis des chagrins, des phases
Heureux, heureux a en mourir.
Quand il me prend dans ses bras
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 ca me fait quelque chose.
Il est entre dans mon coeur
Une part de bonheur
Dont je connais la cause.
C’est toi pour moi. Moi pour toi
Dans la vie,
Il me l’a dit, l’a jure pour la vie.
Et des que je l’apercois
Alors je sens en moi
Mon coeur qui bat
- The eyes that make mine lower
A laughter that gets lost on his mouth
There is the portrait without retouchings
Of the man which I belong toWhen he takes me in his arms
He speaks me all bottom
I see life in rose (pink)
He tells me words of loveThe words of every day
And that made me something
He entered in my heart
A part of happiness
Of which I know the reasonIt is he for me, me for him, in life
He told it to me
swore him for life
And as soon as I see him
Then I feel in me
My heart that beatsOf love nights more to finish
A big happiness that takes his room
Boredoms, griefs fade away
Happy, happy to dieWhen he takes me in his arms
He speaks me all bottom
I see life in rose (pink)He tells me of love words
The words of every day
And that made me something
He entered in my heart
A part of happiness
Of which I know the reason
It is you for me, me for you, in life
You told it
the ace juror for life, to me
And as soon as I see you
Then I feel in me
My heart that beats

“La vie en rose” (French for “Life in Pink”) was the signature song of the French chanteuse, Édith Piaf (1915-1963). The song is a classique and has been performed by numerous artists all over the world.
Edith Piaf, was one of the greatest and famous chanteuses. She was called the “little sparrow” (”Piaf”, French coloquial) due to her heartbreaking voice. Her audience commented that “you made me cry, …… you are the voice of paris. ”
Her song, la Vie en Rose, means “the life in pink”. However, the life of Edith was not that “rosy” and she died young in the age of 48. The director, Oliver Dahan, has protraited the tragic life of Edith in the new film, La Môme (Eng name: la Vie en Rose), which has just been released.
The film is now on in Hong Kong and I would definitely watch this film. If you are interested in this film, you may also wish to read:

a beautiful song! I have a very soft place in my heart for black and white, classically-styled movies that many of my generation would prefer to skip over in favor of the digitally enhanced, so thank you for taking the time to feature this.
as a teenager, i would have scoffed at this song because i wouldn’t have known what Piaf was singing about. but now, being in a serious relationship and having some experience to relate to, i can’t help but read the words over and over again because it’s exactly what I think being in love is about.
My favorite lines:
“He tells me of love words
The words of every day
And that made me something
He entered in my heart
A part of happiness
Of which I know the reason
It is you for me, me for you, in life.”
romantic! I am definitely seeking out this movie now :).
