My French song is La vie en rose by Edith Piaf
“La Vie en rose” was released on a 10″ single in 1947 by Columbia Records, a division of EMI, with “Un refrain courait dans la rue” making the B-side. It met with a warm reception and sold a million copies in the US. It was the best-selling single of 1948 in Italy, and the ninth best-selling single in Brazil in 1949. Piaf performed the song in the 1948 French movie Neuf garçons, un cœur. The first of her albums to include “La Vie en rose” was the 10″ Chansons Parisiennes, released in 1950. It appeared on most of Piaf’s subsequent albums, and on numerous greatest hits compilations. It went on to become her signature song and her trademark hit, ranking with “Milord” and “Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien” among her best-known and most recognizable tunes. Encouraged by its success, Piaf wrote eighty more songs in her career. The song’s title can be translated as “Life in happy hues”, “Life seen through rose-colored glasses”, or “Life in rosy hues”; its literal meaning is “Life in Pink.”
