La Vie En Rose
Grace Jones Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Des yeux qui font baisser les miens
Un rire qui se perd sur sa bouche
Voilà le portrait sans retouche
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 le jours
Et ça me fait quelque chose

Il est entré dans mon cœur
Une part de bonheur
Dont je connais la cause

C'est lui pour moi
Moi pour lui
Dans la vie
Il me l'a dit, l'a juré pour la vie

Et dès que je l'aperçois
Alors je sens en moi, mon cœur qui bat

When he takes me in his arms
And whispers love to me
Everything's lovely
It's him for me and me for him
All our lives
And it's so real what I feel
This is why

Et dès que je l'aperçois
Alors je sens en moi, mon cœur qui bat
La vie

La vie en rose, la vie en rose
Ohh, la vie
La vie en rose, la vie en rose
La vie en rose, la vie en rose
La vie en rose, la vie en rose
La vie en rose, la vie en rose





Je t'aimerai pour toujours, mon amour

Grace Jones la vie en rose

Des yeux qui font baisser les miens
Un rire qui se perd sur sa bouche
Voilà le portrait sans retouche
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 le jours
Et ça me fait quelque chose

Il est entré dans mon coeur
Une part de bonheur
Dont je connais la cause

C'est lui pour moi
Moi pour lui
Dans la vie
Il me l'a dit, l'a juré pour la vie

Et dès que je l'aperçois
Alors je sens en moi, mon coeur qui bat

When he takes me in his arms
And whispers love to me
Everything's lovely
It's him for me and me for him
All our lives
And it's so real what I feel
This is why

Et dès que je l'aperçois
Alors je sens en moi, mon coeur qui bat
La vie

La vie en rose, la vie en rose
Ohh, la vie
La vie en rose

La vie en rose, la vie en rose
La vie en rose, la vie en rose
La vie en rose, la vie en rose
La vie en rose, la vie en rose

Je t'aime voir toujours
