La vie en rose [English translation]

Eyes that make me lower mine,

A laugh that’s lost on his lips

That’s the true portrait

Of the man I belong to

When he takes me in his arms,

He whispers softly to me,

I see life in rosy hues.

He gives me words of love,

Everyday words

And it does something to me.

He’s come into my heart,

A share of happiness

Which I know the reason for.

He is for me and I am for him for life,

He has told me, has sworn it for life.

And as soon as I glimpse him,

I can feel

my beating heart.

Endless nights of love,

Great joy then takes over

Trouble and sorrow disappear,

Happy, happy to die for

When he takes me in his arms

And speaks softly to me,

I see life in rosy hues.

He gives me words of love,

Words of every day,

And it does something to me.

He’s come into my heart,

A share of happiness

I know the reason for.

Its you for me, me for him for life,

He told me, he has sworn it to me, for life..

And as soon as I glimpse him,

I can feel my beating heart
