On va danser
Oui C'est la vie lalalalala
رانى ما نادم على الايام
مهما تكونى بعيدة عليا
رانى ما نادم على الايام
هدرو (اتكلموا) انا فيك و فيا
اها ياه اها ياه . سهرة تكون جميلة يا الحبيبة
ولاي لاي للاه
On va s'aimer (سنحب)On va danser (سنرقص)
Oui C'est la vie lalalalala (نعم, هذه هي الحياة)
جانى بشار بالخفيـا
و قالى على اللى بيـا
و قالى انتا نيا
غير راها نصرانية
اها ياه اها ياه . لازم الجرح يبرا . بالدوا
اها ياه اها ياه . سهرة تكون جميلة يا الحبيبة
ولاي لاي للاه
On va s'aimer (سنحب)On va danser (سنرقص)
Oui C'est la vie lalalalala (نعم, هذه هي الحياة)
هادي (هذه) ليلة و الف ليلة
on va s'aimer pour toute la vie
هادي ليلة و الف ليله
on va s'aimer, danser c'est la la la c'est la vie
On va s'aimer (سنحب)On va danser (سنرقص)

The lyrics of Alex Fox's song C'est La Vie convey the message of living life to the fullest and enjoying every moment, even if it comes with struggles and pains. The refrain "On va s'aimer, On va danser, Oui C'est la vie lalalalala" (We will love each other, We will dance, Yes, this is life lalalalala) sums up the theme of the song. Despite challenges and hardships, life goes on, and one should live each moment as if it were the last. The verse in Arabic speaks of the singer's regrets in life but also how he does not regret his experiences, even if they are painful. The Arabic part also mentions someone speaking behind his back, calling him a non-believer, but he chooses not to acknowledge them. The overall message is that one should not dwell on the negative aspects of life; instead, they should embrace every moment and create beautiful memories.
The chorus is a crucial component of the song, representing the joyful and celebratory moments in life. The phrase "Ah Ya Ya, Ah Ya Ya" precedes the importance of healing and the benefits of medicine. The second Arabic verse talks about the future and the happiness of the current night and a thousand nights to come on which they will love and dance as long as they live. The final lines of the song reinforce the idea of living life without regret and enjoying every moment, even if sometimes it brings pain.
