Ta Gauloise bleue dans l' cendrier
Mon blouson de cuir dans l'entrée
Ça va très bien ensemble
C'est pas un jeu qu'on a joué
J' suis pas heureux, viens m'embrasser
Facile de vivre ensemble
Tu comprends tout et c'est l'enfer
Mais les affaires sont les affaires

Des fois tu veux tout vendre
Voilà la vie des jeunes mariés
Rien n'est bâti, tout est signé
Difficile à comprendre

Depuis début janvier
Je n'ai pas vu l'année passer
Tiens, c'est déjà décembre
Ça valait le coup d'essayer
Quelle bonne idée
De vivre ensemble

Je vis pour toi, tu vis pour moi
C'est tout ce que je vois
Et mes yeux sur tes jambes
Ça m' donne envie d' recommencer
Quelle bonne idée
De vivre ensemble

Voilà la maison du bonheur
Tu rentres à n'importe quelle heure
Pas besoin de t'attendre
À l'heure d'aimer j' te dis "Bonjour"
À l'heure du thé on fait l'amour
Bravo pour tes mots tendres
Dis-moi, ton ancien fiancé
Il a encore téléphoné
C'est vrai qu'il me ressemble
Y a pas de problème
Je sais que tu m'aimes
Seulement je t'aime
C'est un problème
C'est dur de vivre ensemble

Depuis début janvier
Je n'ai pas vu l'année passer
Tiens, c'est déjà décembre
Ça valait le coup d'essayer
Quelle bonne idée
De vivre ensemble

Sors le champagne rosé
On va le boire au lit
Fais vite et viens t'étendre
Ça m' donne envie d' recommencer
Quelle bonne idée
De vivre ensemble

Ma Gauloise bleue dans l' cendrier
Ta robe de cuir sur l'oreiller
Il fait jour dans la chambre
Pour le plaisir, on s'est aimé

Dans l'avenir on est marié
C'est bon de vivre ensemble

Overall Meaning

The first verse of Hervé Vilard's song "Ensemble" talks about the synergy between the small things that characterize the life of a couple living together. The Gauloise bleue (blue Gauloise) cigarette in the ashtray and the leather jacket in the entrance complement each other and blend in a perfect visual representation of the couple's shared life. The lyricist reflects that this is not just a game, but an actual relationship where happiness can be gained from something as simple as being together. However, the couple's differences and their efforts to merge their distinct lifestyles within their shared life has its moments of struggle. They seem to be stuck between the "affaires" (business) and the realization that they are still just young married couples trying to navigate the complexity of their identities within the confines of their newfound relationship.

The second verse of the song is a reflection of how quick time passes in a shared life. The first day of the year has just gone by and it's already December. Time flies when one is happy, and it's almost as if they just tried out this shared life yesterday. This whole idea of sharing their lives echoes once again, as the chorus repeats how good of an idea it was to do life together. They are two individuals, but they have crammed their lives into a shared existence. The song ends with a visual picture of the couple in bed; this time around, with a robe of leather on the pillow instead of a jacket. Even at such a tender moment, their individuality remains an integral part of their shared lives.
