Ainsi va la vie
Yves Montand Lyrics

AINSI VA LA VIE


Ainsi va la vie
Ainsi va l’amour
Ainsi vont les jours
Ainsi vont les nuits
Apportant des joies,
Apportant des pleurs
Je n’aime que toi
Adieu mon bonheur.

On est émus, on aime, on vit, on chante
Ce ne sont que serments et que soupirs
Et puis le lendemain la joie s’absente
Il ne reste plus rien qu’un souvenir.

On chante le jour
On pleure la nuit
Ainsi va l’amour
Ainsi va la vie.

La vie c’est comme une chansonnette
Bonheur et chagrin y sont mêlés
Aujourd’hui le ciel donne une fête
Mais demain le temps sera voilé.

Ainsi va la vie
Ainsi va l’amour
Tout le long des jours
Tout le long des nuits
Apportant des joies
Apportant des pleurs
Je n’aime que toi
Adieu mon bonheur.

On est émus, on aime, on rit, on chante
Ce ne sont que serment et que soupirs
Et puis le lendemain la joie s’absente
Il ne reste plus rien qu’un souvenir.

Des chansons le jour
Des larmes la nuit




Ainsi va l’amour
Ainsi va la vie.

Overall Meaning

The song "Ainsi Va La Vie" by Yves Montand speaks about how life and love are unpredictable, with days and nights bringing joys and tears. The singer declares his love for his partner but also bids farewell to his happiness, implying that they have parted ways. The lyrics express that life is like a song with happy and sad moments that are intertwined. The chorus emphasizes that everything, including happiness and sadness, come and go, but his love for his partner remains constant. The last two lines in each chorus emphasize the nature of life where moments are fleeting and only memories remain.


The second stanza emphasizes the unpredictability of life and love, where joy and sorrow are like the fleeting weather. The singer says that although today might be a happy day, tomorrow might be gloomy. Life is a mix of happiness and sadness, and every day presents something new. The lyrics suggest that one day, everything is perfect, but everything can change the next day. The third stanza is similar to the first two in conveying how life and love are fleeting, and sorrow always follows joy. In all the stanzas, the lyrics repeat that life and love are uncertain and unpredictable, where happiness today is not a guarantee that one will be happy tomorrow.
