La vie en rose [English translation]

Eyes that make mine lower,

A laugh that loses itself on his mouth

Here is the untouched portrait

Of the man to whom I belong.

When he takes me in his arms,

He speaks softly to me,

I see life through rose colored lenses.

He says to me words of love,

Words of forever

And that does something to me.

He has brought to my heart

A piece of happiness

Of which I know the cause.

He is mine, and I am his in this life,

He told me this, swore it for life.

And since I first saw him,

I have felt in me

My heart beating.

Nights of never ending love,

A great happiness takes its place,

Troubles and sorrows fade,

We’re happy, happy enough to die.

When he takes me in his arms,

He speaks softly to me,

I see life through rose colored lenses.

He says to me words of love,

Words of forever

And that does something to me.

He has brought to my heart

A piece of happiness

Of which I know the cause.

You are mine, I am yours for all our lives.

You told me this, swore it for life.

And since I first saw you,

So I have felt in me

My heart beating.
