Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lyrics of Pascal Dufour's song "C'est ma vie" ignite thoughts of past memories that are both precious and sometimes hurtful. The first verse of the song speaks of how memories can carry a person silently, especially those memories associated with a former lover. The line, "J'ai des souvenirs pluvieux quand je pense à nous deux," translates to "I have rainy memories when I think of us two," suggesting that some of the memories are painful or negative.
The second verse reflects on the mistakes made during the relationship, emphasizing that the singer allowed the other person to make them unhappy and even neglected their own happiness. However, despite all the pain and mistakes, the chorus repeats the line, "C'est ma vie, c'est moi qui l'ai choisie," which translates to "It's my life, I chose it," conveying that the singer has taken control of their life by letting go of the past and moving on to a new phase.
The song's final verse is yet another reminder that the singer has made tough choices, but in the end, they chose what was best for them. The song's lyrics are introspective and suggest that the singer has learned from their past and is not dwelling in regret.
