Description
La Vie en Rose (Life in Shades of Pink)
*Inspired by the beautiful classic French song 'La Vie en Rose' d' Edith Piaf
Des yeux qui font baisser les miens
Un rire qui se perd sur sa bouche
Voila le portrait sans retouche
De l'homme auquel, j'appartiens
Quand il me prend dans ses bras
Il me parle tout bas
Je vois la vie en rose
Il me dit des mots d'amour
Des mots de tous les jours
Et a me fait quelque chose
Il est entr dans mon coeur
Une part de bonheur
Dont je connais la cause
C'est lui pour moi
Moi pour lui dans la vie
Il me l'a dit, l'a jur pour la vie
Et, ds que je l'apercois
Alors je sens en moi
Mon coeur qui bat
Des nuits d'amour ne plus en finir
Un grand bonheur qui prend sa place
Des enuis des chagrins, des phases
Heureux, heureux a en mourir
Quand il me prend dans ses bras
Il me parle tout bas
Je vois la vie en rose
Il me dit des mots d'amour
Des mots de tous les jours
Et a me fait quelque chose
Il est entr dans mon Coeur
Une part de bonheur
Dont je connais la cause
C'est toi pour moi
Moi pour toi dans la vie
Il me l'a dit, m'a jur pour la vie
Et, ds que je l'apercois
Alors je sens en moi
Mon coeur qui bat
Lalalala, lalalala
La, la, la, la
-Although love was a central theme of Edith Piaf's music, her real life was filled with sadness. Blind as a young child, she was abandoned by her mother and raised by her paternal grandmother. At age 15, she left home to become a street singer in Paris. She had a daughter, Marcelle, who died in 1935, aged 2. Reportedly the love of her life, the boxer Marcel Cerdan, died in 1949. She married twice thereafter. Yet through it all, she remained "en rose." Piaf said of her life that she had no regrets. Toward the end of the song she wrote and immortalized are these lyrics: "Give your heart and soul to me, And life will always be La Vie En Rose." Piaf's life story was celebrated in the 2007 film "La Vie En Rose" starring Marion Cotillard, (eHow.com)
