Louis Armstrong with Sy Oliver's Orchestra 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
When you press me to your heart
I'm in a world apart
And when you speak
Angels sing from above
Everyday words seems
To turn into love song
Give your heart and soul to me
And life will always be la vie en rose
In Louis Armstrong's song La Vie En Rose, the singer rhapsodizes his lover, describing the magic surrounding their relationship. The opening lines call their love a charm that has engulfed him, and he calls their life together "la vie en rose." The feeling of their love, he explains, is so profound that even a simple kiss causes heaven to sigh. The singer slips into a fantasy world where roses bloom and he is transported to a separate, enchanted dimension, thanks to the love he shares with his partner. As he listens to his lover speak, he hears angels singing, and every word sounds like a song of love.
The singer implores his lover to give him her heart and soul, promising that their life together will be "la vie en rose" forever. The song, which was released in 1947, has since become a classic and has been covered by countless artists.
