C'est La Vie
Bobby Bazini Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Somebody give you a gun
Look just like a sun
Shine so bright with its blinding light
And you never succumb

Now you're just like a falling angel crying in the rain
Trying to hold the tears back, oh but you can't stop the pain
Ooh
C'est la vie, sometimes you gotta let things be
You can fight it if you want 'till there's nothing you can do
Let it go and love will set you free
Oh, let it go and love will set you free
Oh, let it go and love will set you free

Somebody give you a gun
You're not the only one
Love can lift you up and bring you down, down, down
Now you're wondering why it hurts

Ooh
C'est la vie, sometimes you gotta let things be
You can fight it if you want 'till there's nothing you can do
Let it go and love will set you free
Let it go and love will set you free
Let it go, love will set you free

I'm not the best to give advises 'cause I've been learning, learning
I know what it's like
I know

Ooh
C'est la vie, sometimes you gotta let things be
You can fight it if you want 'till there's nothing you can do
Let it go and love will set you free, yeah
Let it go and love will set you free, oh
Let it go and love will set you free, yeah




Let it go and love will set you free
Let it go and love will set you free

Overall Meaning

In Bobby Bazini's song C'est La Vie, the lyrics speak of a person who has been given a metaphorical gun that shines like the sun with its blinding light. The person never succumbs to its power but becomes like a falling angel crying in the rain, trying to hold back tears but unable to stop the pain. The chorus acknowledges that sometimes in life, you have to let things be and allow love to set you free. The repetition of "let it go and love will set you free" emphasizes that by releasing control and surrendering to the power of love, one can find peace.


The gun serves as a symbol for the intense emotions that one can experience in a relationship. Love can lift you up and bring you down, and when things go wrong, it can feel like you're being shot with a gun. The falling angel crying in the rain symbolizes the feeling of helplessness and despair that comes when things fall apart. The chorus reminds us that sometimes, in order to find peace, we have to let go and trust the flow of life.


Overall, the song suggests that while love can sometimes bring us pain, we have to accept that pain and let it go. By doing so, we open ourselves up to the healing power of love, which can set us free.

Sitting here with some friends listening to my Playlist, then Mr. P (a new friend from UK) asked to play this for him on Spotify. It's been a few days since and this tune has been lingering on my heart. Had to rush here to leave a comment. Thank you P for this gem right here! ❤
