Louis Armstrong Lyrics
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 though I close my eyes
I see la vie en rose
And in a world apart
A world where roses bloom
And when you speak
Angels sing from above
Every day words
Seems to turn into love songs
Give your heart and soul to me
And life will always be
La vie en rose

The second stanza further supports the belief that the lover's kiss is heavenly and priceless. Even if the singer closes his or her eyes, they still see "La Vie En Rose," which signifies looking at life through rose-colored glasses. The third stanza showcases how the lover's embrace transports the couple to a utopian world, with blooming roses all around. The fourth stanza speaks of how the lover's words are like music to the singer's ears. They turn the simple, everyday conversation into love songs. The last stanza is a plea from the singer to the lover to give their heart and soul to them, and in return, they will experience "La Vie En Rose" for the rest of their life.

Hold me close and hold me fast
Embrace me tightly and never let me go
The magic spell you cast
You have a mysterious power over me
This is la vie en rose
This is the enchanted life that you have brought me
When you kiss me, Heaven sighs
Your kisses are so magical and sweet, they make angels sigh
And though I close my eyes
Even when I shut my eyes, I can still see your beauty and love
I see la vie en rose
I see the world through rose-colored glasses, thanks to you
When you press me to your heart
When you hold me close to your heart, I feel safe and loved
And in a world apart
A world where there is only you and me, and nothing else matters
A world where roses bloom
Where everything is beautiful and perfect, like a garden filled with roses
And when you speak
Your voice is like music to my ears
Angels sing from above
Your words are so lovely, they make angels sing
Every day words
What may seem like normal conversation to others
Seems to turn into love songs
To me, even the simplest talk sounds like a romantic serenade
Give your heart and soul to me
Completely devote yourself to me
And life will always be
If you do, then our life together will always be
La vie en rose
An enchanted, beautiful life filled with love and happiness

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.

Pixar’s WALL-E brought me here!
@VEXALL44
THATS HOW I KNOW THE SONG
@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.
@spencerkepfer457

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.
@DeathSensei
May he rest in peace love
