Il me dit: He speaks to me or he tells me However we do have the saying “to see life through rose-colored glasses.” I feel that this sounds a bit awkward, and not nearly as nice as saying “I see la vie en rose,” which would literally translate as “I see life in pink” or “I see life in rosy-hues.”
SE TE NOTA LYRICS IN ENGLISH HOW TO
OK and now for the chorus/title – how to best translate “la vie en rose”? We use this phrase occasionally in English, and my preference would be to leave it in French since there isn’t a saying in English that is as elegant. Tout bas: literally “all low” but in this context it means “softly” or “quietly”.
Retouche: a correction, amendment, or as we would translate it for a photo “retouching”. I’ve chosen to translate this as “a laugh that is lost on his lips ” literally it would be translated “a laugh that loses itself on his lips.” I think that she is referring to the moment when someone laughs a short, fleeting laugh that seems to dance across their lips. Un rire qui se perd sur sa bouche – this is a tough line to translate. I think we all know the feeling: when someone you really like looks at you and you look away because it’s just too uncomfortable to hold their gaze (even though you want to). I’ve chosen to translate that as “a gaze that makes me lower my own” because in the context she is talking about the way he looks at her, rather than his actual eyes. This song captures so many of the small gestures that we associate with falling in love: feeling your heart race as soon as you spot your new love, looking away when they look at you, etc.ĭes yeux qui font baisser les miens: literally “eyes that make me lower my own” The great thing about this song is that it uses relatively simple vocabulary to convey the very deep and heartfelt experience of new love.
