They are five comrades. Friends met on the school bench. Julie, Enky, Roman, Elie and Simon-Gaspar never leave each other and offer aerial sounds, hovering reverbs. For a year and a half, they have formed this music group. Hypnotizing music to listen to urgently.
La Belle vie released a single, “Emma”. “Emma is the story of a girl who is inaccessible. She's a bit of a witch. She is between magic and witchcraft. “ Emma, Emma, Emma, why can't you hear us ”. Here's what you'll soon be humming. This song goes into your head like a hit. This is certainly also why the record company Universal signed a co-publishing contract with them.
But the group wants to keep its independence. “Universal is only for co-publishing music. We want to stay in control of our musical evolution. We want to keep all the artistic choices".
La Belle Vie is one of the Stéphanois artists of the young label Pont Futur. A label to discover emerging pop artists. The young group from Saint-Etienne is now part of the playlists of Spotify, Deezer and Apple Music .

La Belle Vie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Emma, oh Emma
Douce comme une peau de pêche
J′imagine que rien n'est beau pour toi en bas
Pourtant, laisse-moi allumer la mèche
Quand tu ouvres la porte
Tout est rose, beau et chaud
Alors j'ose descendre de haut en bas
Oh Emma
Et si tu ouvrais ton royaume
À ceux d′en bas
Mille délices, milliers d′arômes
Non, n'hésite pas
Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma
Pourquoi tu ne nous entends pas
Et moi, et moi, et moi, Emma
Je me noie dans le jaja
Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma
Pourquoi tu ne nous entends pas
Et moi, et moi, et moi, Emma
Je me noie dans le jaja
De là où je la vois
Emma, imagine-la
Elle mange les gens comme toi
Leur fait perdre la voix
Un choix, il n′y en a pas
Un cri ne l'atteindra
Mais reste dans les parages
Et attends son naufrage
Et si tu ouvrais ton royaume
À ceux d′en bas (pourquoi tu ne nous entends pas)
Mille délices, milliers d'arômes
Non, n′hésite pas
Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma
Pourquoi tu ne nous entends pas
Et moi, et moi, et moi, Emma
Je me noie dans le jaja
Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma
Pourquoi tu ne nous entends pas
Et moi, et moi, et moi, Emma
Je me noie dans le jaja
Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma
Pourquoi tu ne nous entends pas
Et moi, et moi, et moi, Emma
Je me noie dans le jaja
Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma
Pourquoi tu ne nous entends pas
Et moi, et moi, et moi, Emma
Je me noie dans le jaja
The song "Emma" by La Belle Vie is an emotional tribute to a lover who seems unreachable. The song's verses are sung from the perspective of a lover who sees their partner as an unattainable dream. The metaphor of a kite is used to describe the lover's desire to be with Emma, as they imagine themselves floating up to her "kingdom". Emma is presented as a gentle, delicate creature, "soft as peach skin", who the singer longs to be with, despite feeling like they don't belong in her world. However, the chorus reveals a more sinister side to Emma, who is described as someone who "eats people like you" and causes them to lose their voice. Despite this, the singer cannot help but be drawn to her, as they drown their sorrows in alcohol and long for her to open her kingdom to the "people down below". The final lines of the song suggest that the singer is watching from afar, waiting for Emma's "naufrage" or shipwreck, suggesting a sense of impending doom.
Overall, "Emma" is a complex and melancholy song about the contradictions of desire, exploring both the longing and the danger that come with passionate love.

Et si j′étais le cerf-volant qui monte jusqu'à ton royaume
If I were a kite soaring up to your kingdom
Emma, oh Emma
Calling out to Emma
Douce comme une peau de pêche
Soft like a peach's skin
J′imagine que rien n'est beau pour toi en bas
I imagine that nothing is beautiful to you down here
Pourtant, laisse-moi allumer la mèche
Yet, let me light the fuse
Quand tu ouvres la porte
When you open the door
Tout est rose, beau et chaud
Everything is pink, beautiful, and warm
Alors j'ose descendre de haut en bas
So I dare to come down from up high
Pour entendre tes soupirs sous les draps
To hear your sighs under the sheets
Oh Emma
Oh Emma
Pourquoi tu ne nous entends pas
Why don't you hear us
Je me noie dans le jaja
I am drowning in booze
De là où je la vois
From where I see her
Emma, imagine-la
Emma, imagine her
Elle mange les gens comme toi
She eats people like you
Leur fait perdre la voix
Makes them lose their voice
Un choix, il n′y en a pas
No choice to be made
Un cri ne l'atteindra
A scream won't reach her
Mais reste dans les parages
But stay around
Et attends son naufrage
And wait for her shipwreck
Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma
Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma
Non, n'hésite pas
No, don't hesitate
Mille délices, milliers d′arômes
A thousand delights, thousands of aromas
Je me noie dans le jaja
I am drowning in booze
