With our political prospects in the next 4 years or so looking dim, whatever the outcome of the election, I thought I’d turn our thoughts to the past, when life was a little simpler and the concept of romantic love was sought after.  And the gal who gave us the soundtrack to love was none other than Edith Piaf, singing her wonderful ‘La vie en Rose’

Des yeux qui font baissers les miens.
Un rir’ qui se perd sur la bouch’,
Voilà ... Voilà…
Le portrait sans retouch’,
De l’homme auquel j’appartiens.
Il me parle tout bas
Je vois la vie en rose

- Those eyes, which make me lower mine.
-That laugh, which vanishes on the lips.
- The unretouched portrait
- Of the man to whom I belong.
- When he takes me in his arms
- He murmurs to me
- I see life in pink.

Il me dit des mots d’amour
Des mots de tous les jours
Et ça m’fait quelque chose.
Il est entré dans mon coeur,
Une part de bonheur,
Dont je connais la cause.

C’est lui par moi, Moi par lui dans la vie
Il me l’a dit, l’a juré, pour la vie.
Et, dès que je l’aperçois
Alors je sens en moi
Mon coeur qui bat.
Des nuits d’amour à en mourir
Un grand bonheur qui prend sa place,
Les ennuies, les chagrins s’effacent,
Heureux, heureux pour mon plaisir.
Quand il me prend dans ses bras…
la vie..en rose.

- He speaks so lovingly.
- In everyday words .
- And that does things to me.
- He has opened my heart,
- To a share of happiness,
- Of which, I alone know the cause.
- He is for me, I am for him In this life.
- He tells me so, has sworn it, for life.
- And, as soon as I realise it
- Then inside myself. I feel..
- My heart beating.
- The nights of love to die for,

- A great happiness Which just happens.
- Erasing all sadness And tedium,
- Happy, happy at my own pleasure.
- When he takes me in his arms
- He speaks to me so softly...and I see,
- life in Pink
