He sang with Bourvil and Annie Cordy.
Luis Mariano had a unique voice and a unique style.
Luis Mariano died in 1970, totally used up after numbers of roadshows and tours, in the most dreadful financial situation, forgotten by all.
He was known to be an extremely cheerful person, enjoying life to the full, over generous with his friends and loving.
La Vie Est Là
Luis Mariano Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Je m'en vais chantant
Tchiribiribi, Carmen, Tosca ou la Bohème
Je me répète sans trêve ce refrain charmant
La Belle de Cadix, andalousie
C'est ça que j'aime
En me rasant, je m'amuse à chanter Figaro
Quand je suis seul, je me chante un duo
Mais si parfois je m'ennuie
Je fredonne aussitôt
Le Petit vin blanc, Bebelle
Pigalle ou bien Ma pomme
Et c'est ainsi dans la vie
Que je trouve en chantant
Le moyen d'être avec eux le
Plus heureux des hommes
Faites donc tous de même
Vous serez enchantés essayez mon système
C'est si bon de chanter
Le matin, quand je me lève
Je m'en vais chantant
Tchiribiribi, Carmen, Tosca ou la Bohème
Je me répète sans trêve ce refrain charmant
En me rasant, je m'amuse à chanter Figaro
Quand je suis seul, je me chante un duo
Là haut, ha, ha, ha, ha
Mais si parfois je m'ennuie
Je fredonne aussitôt
Le Petit vin blanc, Bebelle
Pigalle ou bien Ma pomme
Et c'est ainsi dans la vie
Que je trouve en chantant
Le moyen d'être avec eux le
Plus heureux des hommes
Des hommes
The lyrics of Luis Mariano's song "La vie en rose" describe the joy and happiness that the singer finds in singing. The song starts with the singer waking up in the morning and immediately starting to sing. They mention various famous melodies from operas like "Carmen," "Tosca," and "La Bohème." The repetition of these charming refrains brings them joy throughout the day. Even while shaving or being alone, the singer continues to sing, sometimes even pretending to sing duets.
But if there are moments of boredom, the singer quickly starts humming other popular songs like "Le Petit vin blanc," "Bebelle," "Pigalle," or "Ma pomme." The act of singing becomes a way for the singer to feel connected to these songs and the artists who performed them, making them the happiest person alive.
The overall message of the lyrics is that singing is a remedy for boredom and a source of immense joy. It is a way to connect with the music and the artists behind it, allowing the singer to feel like they are sharing a special bond with them. By suggesting that others do the same, the song encourages listeners to tap into the power of singing as a means of finding happiness.
