    La Vie En Rose always reminds me of my high school French teacher. She was a stern elderly woman who had survived the War in France and would tell us stories of how she and her brother had to eat rats to keep from starving. She would play La Vie En Rose in our class and there would be tears in her eyes. She was a tough old broad but I loved her dearly. I found out she died of cancer a few years ago. I hope she knew that she made a difference in kids' lives.

      To lacouerfairy: Why was it that French teachers were elderly and stern and feisty. Maybe sick and tired of English speaking kids trying to master French. I was terrified of mine.

      ...But on the other hand, I know she was fair. I also have wondered what happened to her. I am sure she would have died now. Likely to have been a refugee from the Occupation of Paris in 1940.

    Hi everyone ! I'm a native french, I live in France and of course I speak french.
    It made me so proud of France to see you all saying that the french is a beautiful language, that the songs are really romantic and melancolic,...
    So I decided to translate "la vie en rose" because some people asked 😊

    French :
    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
    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
    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
    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 coeur
    Une part de bonheur
    Dont je connais la cause
    C'est toi pour moi moi pour toi dans la vie
    Tu me l'as dit m'a juré pour la vie
    Et dès que je t'aperçois
    Alors je sens en moi
    Le coeur qui bat
    English :
    Eyes that bring mine down
    A laugh that gets lost on his mouth
    Here is the portrait without retouching
    From the man I belong to
    When he takes me in his arms
    He whispers to me
    I see life in pink
    He tell me love words
    Everyday words
    And it does something to me
    He has entered in my heart
    A slice of happiness
    That I know the reason
    It's him for me, me for him in life
    He told me, swore for life
    And as soon as I see him
    So I feel Inside me
    My heart beating
    Nights of endless love
    A great happiness that takes its place
    Trouble, grief disappears
    Happy, happy to die
    When he takes me in his arms
    He whispers to me
    I see life in pink
    He tell me love words
    Everyday words
    And it does something to me
    He has entered in my heart
    A slice of happiness
    That I know the reason
    It's you for me me for you in life
    You told me I swore for life
    And as soon as I see you
    So I feel Inside me
    The beating heart

He was from mexico and only spoke spanish and english, but loved music from all cultures. His latest phase was romantic italian songs. I downloaded duolingo for him so he could learn italian and try and understand the songs. Thank you for this. It brought me a little bit of peace.

    I love reading the comments and seeing how everyone has their own interpretation of this kind of music. One person might see themselfs sitting on a balcony bathing in the sun and the other dreams of rainy days and resting inside. It only shows how music is a universal language but we al have a different dialect.

    I was born in Paris 75-years ago and grew up listening to this music thanks to my maman. We lived in the 18-eme arrondissement near Montmartre, where Edith gained fame in Paris. We came to this great country in 1952 and ended up in Queens. I now live in N.H. Thanks to the brave Americans, I am here today. In 1943 bombs were falling left and right and my father put me and my mother on a train to Ellon, Normandy. We were a few miles from Caen, a city leveled by the bombing, and survivedth D-Day invasion. We went swimming at Arromanches after the war. I still remember the three sunken Liberty ships facing the coast and all the DUK-boats. Thank you to the brave, who died fighting, so that we can now live in peace. I, too, am an immigrant.
    I set foot on this land on this day, March 3, 1952 from Paris, France. As you can probably tell, I listen to this song often, my maman's favorite. I know she can hear this and it is in her honor and memory. We came here on the, "Ile de France." I was seasick for six, agonizing days. It was worth it. Crying right now.....Michel

      Michel, As I am listening to the beautiful voice of Edith, I am so enjoying your post. Twenty five years ago this past year, my husband and I were blessed to have been able to have taken a 17 day belated honeymoon to the French and English countryside. I had sailed to France on the SS France with my brother and my mother in 1972. From the moment we sailed from NY city and passed the Statue of Liberty, the all French crew spoke nothing but French which was wonderful. We landed in Le Harve and took the boat train to Paris. We stayed 3 weeks on the Left Bank and spent the next 3 weeks in Italy. But in 1994 when my husband and I were on our honeymoon walking the beaches of Normandy with old soldiers who said "the last time we were here, "Nazis were shooting at us"; it felt like we were walking through history. We ate lunch at a small restaurant nearby where there was a sign that said "Welcome to our American liberators". Going to the American Cemetery and seeing all of the crosses and stars of David, changed our loves forever. Young people don't realize that "freedom is not free"; somebody had to pay the price so that we were able to be free. Your parents and mine were members of truly "The Greatest Generation". I also grew up listening to music. I would like to believe that your maman and my own precious are listening to this beautiful song in heaven. I also am crying now.

    Imagine: small apartment. Sun shining through the blinds creating lines on the ground. The room glows with cheerful yellow. Newspapers and photographs lay on the coffee table. You had found this record at the thrift shop for two dollars and you put it on out of curiosity. You remember back to a conversation you had with the handsome friend you’ve known for three years. His smile is engraved into your mind. You laugh, you smile. Your cat glares at you across the room watching you slow dance awkwardly. The wind blows through the windows and rattled the blinds and sweeps the hair into your face as you spin.
    Life isn’t perfect, but this moment is.

Lived in Paris and did the whole Bohemian bit, then travelled, and also moved around France including the Lot, Burgundy and now finally settled in the Correze. Lived the dream, listened to the music and now adopted the whole thing! How lucky can one man be?

The beacon of Europe is slowly transforming into an Asian/African pot of guilt, because one million years ago France had colonies. Europe is fading, and this will cause civilization as we know it to fade into oblivion... Such a pity... French people should stand up for their nation of theirs...

      Commencez maintenant,Monsieur, il vaut mieux commencer à apprendre une langue le pus tôt possible: plus l'on vieillit, plus c'est difficile...Et, moi qui suis Française, je vous le dit: pour nous, le Français est presque évident, du moins si on le parle correctement, mais les doutes nous assaillent bien vite. Pour des étrangers, la langue Française est une horreur, mais il ne faut pas se décourager. Pensez que son orthographe a été fixée au Moyen-âge et vous comprendrez mieux les écritures qui peuvent sembler étranges.
      (Start learning it now: the more you get older, the more difficult it is to learn a language. As a French myself, I can tell you this language is a nightmare for all who try to learn it, because the orthography (hope it's an english word) was decided during the middle ages, and because we think it's obvious, we can not explain it very well. Keep working and you will master it one day.)
      Good luck!

    I believe I lived this kind of life in my past life. It makes my heart tingle and makes my soul feel safe and happy as if it's having a flashback to a previous life. I'm happy to know I'm not the only one who feels like this. I have yet to meet anyone who loves music like this to enjoy. It makes me feel alone, but when I come onto youtube and see all the comments. I know I'm not alone. Thank you xoxo

I believe I may have lived in this era . I cannot explain the way I feel to anyone I know but I think you will understand . Fond wishes from Thomas

    My mom was sick a few years ago, she stressed herself out into catching pneumonia. She recovered, but at the time I had picked up my omi (German grandmother) and we were going to visit my mom in the hospital. I was actually listening to the Louis Armstrong cover of La Vie En Rose, and my grandmother was humming and wordlessly singing along to it. A year or so later, my grandmother passed away due to complications with lung cancer. But I think of her every time I hear that song, no matter who sings it or in what language.

    You are dancing in the halls of a beautiful dance hall. There is a glow everywhere, from the decorated ceiling to the splendid shoes of the dancers. Everyone is looking pretty in their fancy suits and you feel your face light up as a stranger approaches you. Have you met before? They ask you to dance. And you do it. Their eyes are really interesting.. How many hours have passed since you started to look at them? It doesn't matter. The dance flows in the airs of Paris. Feel the air. Be free, once and for all.
