La Vie En Rose
Sam Butera 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 lyrics to Sam Butera's song, La Vie En Rose, capture the feeling of being in love and the magical spell that love can cast. The first two lines, "Hold me close and hold me fast, The magic spell you cast," suggest that being close to the person we love and the effect they have on us is like magic. The phrase "la vie en rose" translates in English to "life in pink," which means seeing everything in a positive light or through the lens of love.
The lyrics continue to describe the feeling of being in love, "When you kiss me, Heaven sighs, And though I close my eyes, I see la vie en rose." The sensation of being in the arms of the one we love can transport us to another world, where everything is beautiful and rosy. "When you press me to your heart, And in a world apart, A world where roses bloom" suggests that being held by the one we love is like being in a different world, where everything is in bloom, roses included.
The chorus, "And when you speak, Angels sing from above, Every day words seem to turn into love songs, Give your heart and soul to me, And life will always be La vie en rose" is describing the effect that love can have on us. When the person we love speaks to us, it feels like angels sing from above, and words that are normally mundane can turn into love songs. The final line, "Give your heart and soul to me, And life will always be La vie en rose" emphasizes that if you give your heart and soul to the one you love, life will always be rosy.
