    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

    And as soon as I see you

    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.

    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.

      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!

      Non je ne crois pas, mais nous sommes bien peu et c'est dommage, car peu peuvent comprendre les paroles de ces chansons: par exemple M.Lenoble, que je ne connaissais pas et qui est sublime. Il est malheureux, à mon sens, que beaucoup préfèrent écouter des raps grossiers et obscènes plutôt que des chansons d'amour si belles...Enfin, ainsi va le monde, il y en a toujours, comme moi, qui vont à rebours des modes et des tendances et apprécient les musiques anciennes.

    So the first song was the one that was stuck in my head for 2 weeks!!! I was searching the ratatouille ost for ages, just to see it is La vie en rose! I love this playlist, by the way. It makes me want to dress in a lavish pink night gown with sleeves in pink fur, take up a long cigar, a cocktail drink in the other hand, stand next to the gramophone record, and sway my (now mysteriously slim hourglass figure) to the window, on-looking a street illuminated by a tall thin light stand. As I look forward I see the Eiffel Tower illuminate the heart of the street. I hear people laughing on the street as they come out of the black cab that drove them here. I smile as I see my french bulldog run up to me and lie down at my feet noisily. I brush a strand of hair that came out of place from my sleek up-do. I look up again, as I place my cocktail glass on the window sill and cross my arms contentedly, to smile and say out loud, purring a little bit hoarsely: "La vie est belle... no, chérie?"
    Sorry, I went off a bit.

    *Voilà le portrait sans retouche*

    *Et ça m'fait quelque chose*
    _And it does something on me_
    *Il est entré dans mon cœur*
    _It came into my heart_
    *Une part de bonheur*
    _A share of hapiness_
    *Dont je connais la cause*
    _Whose I know the reason_
    *C'est lui pour moi*
    _It's him for me_
    *Moi pour lui*
    _Me for him_
    *Dans la vie*
    _In life_
    *Il me l'a dit*
    _He told me_
    *L'a juré, pour la vie*
    _Swore it, for life_
    *Et dès que je l'aperçois*
    _And as soon as I see him_
    *Alors je sens en moi*
    _Then I feel inside me_
    *Mon cœur qui bat*
    _My beating heart_
    *Des nuits d'amour à plus finir*
    _Nights of love to end_
    *Un grand bonheur, qui prend sa place*

    *Dont je connais la cause
    *
    _Whose I know the reason_
    *C'est lui pour moi*
    _It's him for me_
    *Et, dès que je t'aperçois*
    _And as soon I see you_
    *Alors je sens en moi*
    _Then I feel inside me_
    *Mon cœur qui bat*
    _My beating heart_
    *Lalalalalala*
    _Lalalalalala_
    *Lalalalalala*
    _Lalalalalala_
    I hope I didn't make any mistakes with my broken english ^^

    My buddy died two years ago. La vi en Rose was his mothers favorite song. One of our high school band's performances was the night of her birthday. So the band surprised her by playing it. She loved it.
    Miss you Oskie.
