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 tho 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
Everyday words seem to turn into love songs
Give your heart and soul to me
And life will always be la vie en rose.

Hold me close and hold me fast
Embrace me tightly and without hesitation
The magic spell you cast
The enchanting effect you have on me
This is la vie en rose
This is the life in rose-tinted glasses
When you kiss me heaven sighs
The earth is still and all that exists is our embrace
And tho I close my eyes
Even when I shut out the world, I still feel your presence
I see la vie en rose
I see life through rose colored glasses
When you press me to your heart
When you hold me close to your heart
I'm in a world apart
I feel like I'm in a different world, away from everything else
A world where roses bloom
A beautiful, serene world where everything is beautiful
And when you speak, angels sing from above
Your voice has such a beautiful effect, it's like angels singing in unison from up above
Everyday words seem to turn into love songs
Ordinary talk seems to take on greater meaning and emotion
Give your heart and soul to me
Share your deepest innermost feelings with me
And life will always be la vie en rose
And life will always be seen as beautiful and happy

Hold me close and hold me fast,
This 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,
Everyday words seem
To turn into love songs.
Give your heart and soul to me
And life will always be
La vie en rose.

@groupswing58383
So many comments like “This movie brought me here” and I just randomly listened to the song not knowing it’s in these movies that I’ve seen.

Always gives me teary eyes...I was 16 and my dad danced with me this song saying "happy birthday to my sweet 16 girl"
Soon after dad passed away in an accident leaving all the record of Louis Armstrong to me. I dont have the LP-player anymore but I kept all those pieces and of course I still listening all the songs on CDs.
