La vie en rose [English translation]

With eyes that make mine fall

And lips that hide a smile

This is the portrait without guile

Of the man to whom I give my all.

When he takes me in his arms

And speaks to me with all his charms

A life of complete joy is what I see.

He says to me sweet nothings

Simple words that mean something

So very very dear to me.

He has entered into my heart

And filled its happy part

And the reason why is easy to see.

He is for me and I for him for all time

He said it and then swore it in words so sublime.

And when I see him

I feel within

The fluttering of my heart.

With endless nights of love so long

An overwhelming happiness has taken place

Of all the sorrows that it has erased

I'm so happy I could die in song

When he takes me in his arms

And speaks to me with all his charms...
