La Vie en Rose
by Louiguy, lyrics by Edith Piaf ©1942
When he takes me in his arms and speaks to me soft and low,
I see life in rosey colors •
He tells me words of love, words of everyday
and it does something to me •
Into my heart, a piece of happiness has entered
for which I know the cause:
it´s him for me, me for him through life--
he told me, he swore it for life •
And when I´ve just caught a glance of him,
ah, I feel in me my heart beating •
The nights of love to die for • A grand happiness •
Boredom, sorrows are erased •
Happiness, happiness for my pleasure [him] •
When he takes me in his arms and speaks to me soft and low,
I see life in rosey colors •
(Repeat refrain)
--
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 m'fait quelque chose •
l 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 en mourir •
Un grand bonheur qui prend sa place •
Les ennuis les chagrins s'effacent •
Heureux, heureux pour mon plaisir

La Vie en Rose Refrain:
When he takes me in his arms
and whispers to me low,
I see life so rosy
When he tells me words of love
or just the everyday,
I see life so rosy
He brought joy into my heart
a little slice of bliss
And I know how:
“It's you for me,
me for you throughout life,”
That's what he said, he swore for ever!
And when I catch a glance of him,
I feel within my heart
It's him that beats within.
