♪ Marlene Dietrich Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Il me parle tout bas
Je vois la vie en rose
Il me dit des mots d'a mour
Des mots de tous les jours
Et ca m'fait quel-que chose
Il est entré dans mon coeur
Une part de bonheur
C'est lui par moi
Moi par lui, dans la vie
Il me l'a dit
L'a juré pour la vie
Et dés que je l'apércois
Alors je sens en moi mon coeur qui bat
Des yeux qui font baisser les miens
Un rir' qui se perd sur sa bouch'
Voilá le portrait, sans retouch'
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 ca m'fait quel-que chose
Il est entré dans mon coeur
Une part de bonheur
Dont je connais la cause
C'est lui par moi
Moi par lui, dans la vie
Il me l'a dit
L'a juré pour la vie
Et dés que je l'apércois
Alors je sens en moi mon coeur qui bat
In "La Vie En Rose," Marlene Dietrich sings about the transformative power of love. When her lover holds her in his arms and whispers softly to her, Dietrich sees the world in a new light - through rose-colored glasses, so to speak. His words of love and adoration stir something deep within her, and she realizes that he has become a part of her life and her happiness.
The lyrics describe a deep connection between two people, one that seems to transcend the ups and downs of daily life. The couple is devoted to each other, and they have made a commitment to stay together for life. When Dietrich sees her lover, her heart beats faster, and she feels a rush of emotion that makes her dizzy. She is completely under his spell, and she wouldn't have it any other way.
The song is a beautiful tribute to the power of love, and Dietrich's unique voice adds a deep sense of longing and romanticism to the lyrics. "La Vie En Rose" has gone on to become one of the most beloved French songs of all time, and it continues to inspire and move people with its simple yet profound message.
