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
A world where roses bloom
And when you speak
Angels sing from above
Every day words
Seem to turn into love songs
Give your heart and soul to me
And life will always be
La vie en rose
I thought that love was just a word
They sang about in songs I heard
It took your kisses to reveal
That I was wrong, and love is real
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
Every day words
Seem to turn into love songs
Give your heart and soul to me
And life will always be
La vie en rose
In Louis Armstrong's song "La Vie en Rose," the lyrics speak of a magical love that has transformed the singer's life. The French phrase "La Vie en Rose" translates to "life through rose-colored glasses," and the song is a celebration of the overwhelming joy and peace that comes with falling in love.
The first stanza of the song describes the enchantment the singer feels when in the arms of their lover. The magic spell is cast when they kiss, and the whole world seems to bloom like a garden of roses. The second stanza speaks of the passion and other-worldliness that comes with love. When the lover speaks, angels sing, and what were once mundane words become love songs. The final four lines of the song speak plainly of the singer's love for their partner, with a plea for them to give their hearts and souls so that they can always live in this magical world of la vie en rose.

Hold me close and hold me fast
Embrace me tightly and with urgency
The magic spell you cast
The enchanting power you have over me
This is la vie en rose
This is life viewed through rose-colored glasses
When you kiss me, Heaven sighs
Your kisses are divine and evoke a celestial response
And though I close my eyes
Even with my eyes shut tight
I see la vie en rose
I perceive life through a lens of love and beauty
When you press me to your heart
When you hold me close to your chest
I'm in a world apart
I am transported to another realm
A world where roses bloom
A world of beauty and romance
And when you speak
And when you talk to me
Angels sing from above
I hear heavenly harmonies

La vie en rose
Viewed through a lens of love and beauty
I thought that love was just a word
I used to believe that love had no true meaning
They sang about in songs I heard
Something that was just a topic for music
It took your kisses to reveal
Your kisses were the thing that showed me
That I was wrong, and love is real
My prior belief was false, and love is genuine

🇫🇷 Lyrics in French (Edith Piaf):
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
Un cœur qui bat
🇺🇸 Lyrics in English (Louis Armstrong):

I see la vie en rose
When you press me to your heart
I'm in a world apart
A world where roses bloom
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
