I was introduced to this song by one of my young students who was very polite and quiet. She was 11 yrs old at that time, her parents were divorced and she stayed with her mother, has no contact what so ever with her father. All what she remembered from her father is that he used to sing this song to her until she sleeps. She said Ms. Would you listen to this song ? .. don't worry if you don't understand french, you will feel it. And it's true, I felt amazing. Much love to her 💕 i hope she got the chance to meet with him again ..
Wow!! Somehow, I have awayss known this song, especially the melody...but, I never knew what it was titled! So, this is a special day for me, as I now have the opportunity to learn the lyrics eventually!
Thank you so much for the lyrics and translation : ) We have just spent Sunday in the wonderful town of Chartres where mon amour chose this beautiful tune from all the music boxes for sale by the cathedral. The highlight of our short but sweet (and his first) visit to France was wandering by the river and through the old town listening to this melody over and over.... We have been together nearly 24 years but I know that from now on this will be "our" song. Vivre la france, vivre la vie en rose!
I served in this french departement, I have visited many cathedral (Paris, le Mans, Trier (Trêves) etc... and indeed Chartres is particular and pretty)... Historically, Chartres was the post where Jean Moulin was serving in 1940 as Préfet (representant of the french gouvernment in every departement, highest civil authority then)... Jean moulin refused to sign a paper to Germans authorising thme to execute french african soldiers because of invented facts... he eventually evade after his refusal and his arrestation and join De Gaulle in London, then took the heavy charge to unite all french resistance movements from extreme-right to extreme left, not an easy task, but he succeeded anyway... Leader of the french interior resistance, he was captured, tortured and died without having given a word on his brother in arms. :)
before i read the translation I used to tell my friends i wouldn't mind dying when hearing to this song and i was surprised when the dying part came out
I cannot thank you enough. I love this song, I love Édith Piaf and I love this video. You've done the youtube community a great favour by putting this up.
Hold me close and hold me fast The magic spell you cast This is la vie en rose When you kiss me, Heaven sighs And though I close my eyes I see la vie en rose When you press me to your heart I'm in a world apart A world where roses bloom And when you speak Angels sing from above Everyday words Seems to turn into love songs Give your heart and soul to me And life will always be La vie en rose When you press me to your heart I'm in a world apart A world where roses bloom And when you speak Angels sing from above Everyday words Seems to turn into love songs Give your heart and soul to me And life will always be La vie en rose
This song was very popular when I was in high school....about 10th grade. I never knew the English words but you could feel in your heart, the love that was said.
great job!:) ps does anyone know if there is a video with the french pronunciations alongside the words. I would like to learn to sing this in French, but I'm having trouble pronouncing the words right.
I used to listen to the song without seeing the lyric. And just write what the song sounds like in a note. And then i will match them with the actual lyric. It helps me to sing the song. Now i have duo lingo and youtube. Haha
Deirdre Coulter there’s part of the song with YT channel & title: “ ‘French at Home with Steph’ la vie en rose.” What I did was write down the French on one line, on the 2nd line I put the phonetic spelling of the French & on the 3rd line I copied the English. It took hours...I had watched about 8 videos! Some are a bit different both in the French wording & the French pronunciation...
That's right. It literally means that. :) I'm not an expert in the language and I don't pretend to be, but since this line is in the same verse of the song where the guy or girl you love utters words of love to you, surely it would touch you right in the heart? lol Anyway the song is like a poetry where it doesn't always mean literally that way. It's how you interpret it right?
@jumperontheline That was lovely! And thank you for that beautiful picture you painted. I'd love to walk through the old town of France listening to this melody on accordian too, or on any instrument for that matter :)
I was just in Paris the last week of September. As we walked up to the Louvre from the Tuelleries Gardens, there was a man playing this song on his accordion at the arches, out in front! I went to him, gave him a tip, and thanked him for playing my favorite French song! He gave me a perfect moment I will always cherish/remember! ♡
• Len Is Shook • That was an English adaptation of the lyrics, to where they’d take the original translation and try to match it with the rhythm and meaning of it. They do this because sometimes phrases are either too long or too short, or they’re lost in translation, so they replace it with lyrics that are different but still mean essentially the same thing.
Just watched Sabrina tonight with Bogart and Hepburn and was reminded how pivotal this song was in it! So just had to come and hear Edith sing it again! Magic!
Oh my God I love both your videos...they're are really beautiful and they help me with french as well! can you do one for l'hymne a l'amour s'il vous plait? :)
@IJ2050 Merci beaucoup! =) yeah, actually I'm learning franch too! that's why I made these.. they were kinda like homework to me lol, except that I enjoyed making them. I will try and make one for l'hymne à l'amour pour vous. J'adore aussi cette chanson.
Surely "et ca me fait quelque chose" means "and that does something to me"? I'm not criticising, just mentioning it. Languages never translate literally anyway. good luck. :)

Nearly 11 years since this was posted... 74 years of this song...
Never gets old. It's beautiful.

Chartres is surely one of the most beautiful (and romantic) places on earth! Hope you two are still enjoying your song :)

This is such a beautiful song, no wonder why it was used in Bioshock Burial at Sea!
Hold me close and hold me fast
The magic spell you cast
This is la vie en rose
When you kiss me, Heaven sighs
And though I close my eyes
I see la vie en rose
When you press me to your heart
I'm in a world apart
A world where roses bloom
And when you speak
Angels sing from above
Everyday words
Seems to turn into love songs
Give your heart and soul to me
And life will always be
La vie en rose
When you press me to your heart
I'm in a world apart
A world where roses bloom
And when you speak
Angels sing from above
Everyday words
Seems to turn into love songs
Give your heart and soul to me
And life will always be
La vie en rose
Thank you for this!!! 😊❤❤❤
too bad theyre the wrong lyrics
Thanks
I just learned that she wrote this song in 1945! Beautiful! So sad she passed so young. What gifts she left with us! ♥️🌹🌿
I love listening to Edith Piaf.
This song was very popular when I was in high school....about 10th grade. I never knew the English words but you could feel in your heart, the love that was said.
This is one of my favorites: beautiful and sweet.
Great version for someone trying to learn French. It’s not so fast, I can follow it and the English words great for learning the meaning Merci!!
great job!:)
ps does anyone know if there is a video with the french pronunciations alongside the words. I would like to learn to sing this in French, but I'm having trouble pronouncing the words right.
Deirdre Coulter oof sane, I’m looking everywhere
If it's wasnt for duolingo, i wouldnt know how to pronounce those words too.

@@lyrahazel2079 is duolingo app that cool? if so, I will consider to use it again...

Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for!!! J'apprends le français!
Thanks you for the translation. I've always wondered.
Awwww this song is so beautiful ❤❤❤ this is the type of emotion we all wish to feel one day ❤
The mother's version of this is the best version.
Hasmina V the “mother’s” version? Who do you mean?
Obviously the original version by Edith Piaf.
Cynthia Ennis I think she’s referring to the how I Met Your Mother version

I kept looking for a goo version of this and finally found one, thanks!
i thought it was.. "hold me close, hold me fast. this magic spell you cast. this is la vie en rose"

The English version. It was adapted to fit the rhythm.
Same.
Sometimes the proper and or exact translation is to long or doesn’t make sense it commonly happens to Russian and French and a couple more languages.
Same
blown away such a beautiful voice..
Just watched Sabrina tonight with Bogart and Hepburn and was reminded how pivotal this song was in it! So just had to come and hear Edith sing it again! Magic!
Ah! So good! I like this one for fully french version.
