Having Edith Piaf most famous songs has never justified my love for her specially after seeing the long, slow-paced, boring movie they did about her life called of course "La Vie en Rose". It was till about 2 months ago the song La Vie en Rose started to become one of the top played and favorite songs, though it was after I bumped into this lovely cover done by Pomplamoose, surely not their best video but my favorite song<3
Listen to it here. It has such beautiful words, never would've imagined this written by her, but I guess she did have a sweet side to herself.
So here's to the obsession for this song.
LA VIE EN ROSE (English translation)
Eyes that gaze into mine,
A smile that is lost on his lips
That is the unretouched portrait
Of the man to whom I belong to.
When he takes me in his arms
And speaks softly to me,
I see life in rosy hues.
He tells me words of love,
Words of every day,
And in them I become something.
He has entered my heart,
A part of happiness
Whereof I understand the reason.
It’s he for me and I for him, throughout life,
He has told me, he has sworn to me, for life.
And from the things that I sense,
Now I can feel within me
My heart that beats.
In endless nights of love,
A great delight that comes about,
The pains and bothers are banished,
Happy, happy to die of love.
When he takes me in his arms
And speaks softly to me,
I see life in rosy hues.
He tells me words of love,
Words of every day,
And in them I become something.
He has entered my heart,
A part of happiness
Whereof I understand the reason.
It’s he for me and I for him, throughout life,
He has told me, he has sworn to me, for life.
And from the things that I sense,
Now I can feel within me
My heart that beats.
