La vie en rose
Louis Armstrong Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
And in a world apart
A world where roses bloom
And when you speak
Angels sing from above
Every day words
Seems to turn into love songs
Give your heart and soul to me
And life will always be
La vie en rose
The song La Vie En Rose by Louis Armstrong is a beautiful ode to the joy and beauty of love. The lyrics suggest a magical, almost surreal quality to love and the effect it can have on an individual. The opening lines "Hold me close and hold me fast. The magic spell you cast. This is la vie en rose" talk about how love can be a transformative experience, casting a magical spell over us, and turning our lives into something beautiful and enchanting.
The lyrics further depict the power of love in the lines "When you kiss me, Heaven sighs. And though I close my eyes, I see la vie en rose". This portrays the idea that a kiss from a loved one can make everything else fade away and make us feel like we are in heaven. The lyrics also suggest that love is a force that can create its own world- "When you press me to your heart, and in a world apart, a world where roses bloom."
The song continues to illustrate the strong feelings that love evokes in the lines "And when you speak, angels sing from above. Every day words seem to turn into love songs". It suggests that the feeling of being in love is so strong that even ordinary day-to-day conversations can become filled with immense emotion and depth.
In the chorus, the song declares that if we give our heart and soul to love, life will always be "La vie en rose" or a rose-tinted life. This phrase has come to signify seeing the world through a positive, optimistic lens, and this song is a beautiful representation of that sentiment.

Hold me close and hold me fast,
This 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 seem
To turn into love songs.
Give your heart and soul to me
And life will always be
La vie en rose.

A world where roses bloom
And when you speak...angels sing from above
Everyday words seem...to turn into love songs
Give your heart and soul to me
And life will always be
La vie en rose

Always gives me teary eyes...I was 16 and my dad danced with me this song saying "happy birthday to my sweet 16 girl"
Soon after dad passed away in an accident leaving all the record of Louis Armstrong to me. I dont have the LP-player anymore but I kept all those pieces and of course I still listening all the songs on CDs.
