Quand il me prend dans ses bras
When he takes me in his arms
Il me parle tout bas
He speaks to me softly
Je vois la vie en rose
I see life in pink
Il me dit des mots d'amour
He tells me words of love
Des mots de tous les jours
Words of everyday
Et ça me fait quelque chose
And it means something to me
Il est entré dans mon cœur
He has entered my heart
Une part de bonheur
A piece of happiness
Dont je connais la cause
Of which I know the cause
C'est lui pour moi
He is the one for me
Moi pour lui dans la vie
Me for him in life
Il me l'a dit, l'a juré pour la vie
He told me, swore it for life
Et dès que je l'aperçois
And as soon as I catch sight of him
Alors je sens en moi
Then I feel within me
Mon cœur qui bat
My heart that beats
Des yeux qui font baiser les miens
Eyes that make mine drop
Un rire qui se perd sur sa bouche
A laugh that gets lost on his lips
Voila le portrait, sans retouche
Here is the portrait, unretouched
De l'homme auquel j'appartiens
Of the man to whom I belong
Quand il me prend dans ses bras
When he takes me in his arms
Il me parle tout bas
He speaks to me softly
Je vois la vie en rose
I see life in pink
Il me dit des mots d'amour
He says sweet words to me
Des mots de tous les jours
Everyday words
Et ça me fait quelque chose
And it does something to me
Il est entré dans mon cœur
He has entered my heart
Une part de bonheur
A piece of happiness
Dont je connais la cause
Of which I know the reason
C'est lui pour moi
He's the one for me
Moi pour lui dans la vie
I'm the one for him in life
Il me l'a dit, l'a juré pour la vie
He told me, swore it for life
Et dès que je l'aperçois
And as soon as I catch sight of him
Alors je sens en moi
Then I feel within me
Mon cœur qui bat
My heart beating
La la la la la
Mon coeur qui bat
My heart beating
