Intro: G Gmaj7 Em Am D D7

Verse 1:
G                         Gmaj7
Hold me close and hold me fast
                     Em
The magic spells you cast
                  Am  D
This is La Vie en ros-e


                        D7
When you kiss me heaven sighs
                      D
And though I close my eyes
                G   D
I see La Vie en ros-e

Verse 2: 
G                         Gmaj7
When you press me to your heart
                Em
I'm in a world apart
                    Am
a world where roses bloom

Bridge:
Am                        G
And when you speak angels sing from above
Am                     D               D7
Everyday words seem to turn into love songs

Verse 3:
G                           Gmaj7
Give your heart and soul to me
                     C
And life will always be
   Am  D       G
La Vie en rose

If you add the French verse at the start, it sounds really nice.

Quand (con) il (eel) me(meh) prend (prand) dans (dan) ses (say) bras (brah)
Il (eel) me (meh) parle (par-lay) tout (tou) bas (ba) Je (juh) vois (voo) la vie en rose

Same chords for the first English verse

thats not how you pronounce it. It’s pronounced more like – cond el meh pron don se bra el muh parler two bar je vwas luh vee on roser

Again this is incorrect. If you don’t speak French do not try to correct. When you put an er on the end of something it’s pronounced ay. And some things that the person got correct are wrong on your part. Like how the first person says ses=say which is correct and you said ses=se. Edith Piaf would be disappointed (original writer of this song)

If you can’t pronounce it well, just sing it in English guys. It’s kind of disrespectful when you try to pronounce it and you don’t do it correctly.

hey! i’m a native french speaker and i quite honestly don’t find it disrespectful at all, it’s just kinda funny and cute : )

the way i’d write the pronunciation is this:

con eele muh pran dan seh brah queel muh par-leu too bah juh vooah (or vwah) la vee en rozeu

I’m in AP French (6 years of education) about to pursue my minor and this pronunciation is butchered and incorrect. Look at word reference and duolingo before you hit copy and paste on something you don’t understand. Please and thank you.

The one that Ali posed (the one closest to the top) is pretty accurate. It’s not a perfect pronunciation guide, but if you’re just looking to have fun with it then you can use that.

The melody of the bridge is sort of like this:
A-A-G-A-A-G-A-A-G-D, A-A-G-A-A-G-A-A-G-C-B
If you don”t know how to sound out the notes, go onto one of those websites (like this: https://www.apronus.com/music/flashpiano.htm) which have the piano with the notes on them and you can play out the tune. Or you cold listen to the song online or on spotify and listen to the melody. Hope this helped!

jesus this entire comment section is just correcting the french pronounciation, so i guess i just have to listen to the audio itself. :/

Lol good point. It doesn’t matter whether or not your taking AP french or if you’re actually french or if you don’t even know the language at all. Just listen to the lyrics and sing what you hear :)

That’s true but it is still good to know what the lyrics in french mean and if you know the lyrics and how to pronounce them it makes it easier to sing.

French teacher here… I always tell my students not to worry so much about pronunciation! That’s something that comes later in learning French anyway. As long as you get the gist of it and try your best, a native speaker will understand you. And since this is arguably the most popular French song out there, they’ll definitely know what’s up! Just have fun with it, mes amis :)

Well that’s not how you pronounce either. More like…

“kond eal meh prawnd dawn say brah”
Quand il me prende dans ses bras

“eal meh pawrl on tou baw”
Il me parle en tout bas

“juh vwa la vee on rowze-eh”
Je vois la vie en rose

the only way to accurately write down french pronunciaton is IPA

qã il mœ prã dã sE bra
il mœ parl ã tu ba
3œ vwa la vi ã rozœ

i know it’s not perfect ipa but it gives a more accurate pronunciation of the vowels

this does look super confusing but this is actually how i learned to pronounce the words and the french exchange students at my school say its pretty accurate. if you combine a simple ipa chart with listening to the original edith piaf audio its not too hard :)

Hi there I’m a native French speaker, if you have question s I’d be more than happy to help, seeing the «  prononciation » comment just scrapping the song made me cry a little, it’s always better to refer yourself to an audio of the original song, explaining the French prononciation by giving exemple in english is not really accurate
