La Belle Vie
Dany Brillant Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ô la belle vie
Sans amour
Sans soucis
Sans problème.
Hum la belle vie
On est seul
On est libre
Et l'on s'aime.
On s'amuse à passer avec tous ses copains
Des nuits blanches
Qui se penchent
Sur les petits matins.
Mais la belle vie
Sans amour
Sans soucis
Sans problème.

Oui la belle vie
On s'enlace
On est triste
Et l'on traîne.
Alors pense que moi je t'aime
Et quand tu auras compris
Réveille-toi




Je serai là
Pour toi.

Overall Meaning

The song "La belle vie" portrays two contrasting perspectives about life. The first verse describes a carefree and joyful life without love, worries or problems. The second verse unveils the after-effect of living such a life, where lonely individuals embrace sadness and solitude. Nevertheless, the singer assures a lover that he is there for them, even if they realize this fact after living through life's experiences.


In the first verse, the singer describes a free-spirited life, where individuals enjoy spending time with their friends, partying all night long, and cherishing the morning moments with ease. The absence of love, worries or problems allows them to live freely, without any restrictions or negative emotions. However, the second verse signifies that this type of life ultimately leads to loneliness, and people start embracing sadness and taking their time to deal with problems. Thus, the notion of la belle vie is fleeting and temporary, indicating that such a lifestyle is not sustainable.


The song ends with a romantic note, where the singer reassures a lover that he loves them and will always be there for them, even if they realize it later in life. This happy ending provides an optimistic outlook on life and love, suggesting that one can always find solace in the love and support of others.
