"La Vie en Rose" (French for "Life through rose-colored glass," but directly translated into "Life in pink") was the signature song of French singer Édith Piaf. (wikipedia)
What have i done so far in 2009?
...er...not much...immersed in work...(boring)
fiddling with some gadgets in Blogger...adding some music to my page and basically learning a bit more about the kind of music i love...
Spending lots of time with my babies/doggies...living life day by day and relaxing.
Most of my friends who have watched Twilight loved it! One or 2 have read the book...and say the book is so much better...which is normally true...I've linked Bella's Lullaby (Twilight) from youtube on my sidebar, so feel free.
I watched Twilight in Launceston with Alister the day before i left Tassie and we loved it! Although, Edward Cullen didn't do much for me (in the movie)...dunno why. Less (wo)men more share??
I've borrowed the book from Fran (a Twilight fan) and will start reading it .... when i finish this book i bought from Sheffield, Tassie.
ok, back to La Vie en Rose...which I'm currently obsessed with. Yes, a very old song but its BEAUTIFUL. I do like Sophie Milman's version better though (link on sidebar). Maybe its the recording way back then that makes Edith's version sound a bit scratchy.
There was a movie about Edith's life out in 2007, how she became the voice of France. The movie is called La môme, (in France) and La vie en rose (everywhere else in the world), starring Marion Cotillard who won an Academy Award for her performance, marking the first time an Oscar had been given for a French-language role. She is also the first French actress to win a Best Actress BAFTA and the first to win a Comedy or Musical Golden Globe for a foreign language role. It also became the first French cinema film to win two Oscars, the other for Makeup. (quote from Wikipedia)
But here's the Original lyrics. Enjoy!!
Des yeux qui font baiser 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 ca me fait quelque chose.
Il est entre 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 jure pour la vie.
Et des que je l'apercois
Alors je sens en moi
Mon coeur qui bat
Des nuits d'amour a 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 ca me fait quelque chose.
Il est entre 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, l'a jure pour la vie.
Et des que je l'apercois
Alors je sens en moi
Mon coeur qui bat
LOVELY!!
