La Vie En Rose always reminds me of my high school French teacher. She was a stern elderly woman who had survived the War in France and would tell us stories of how she and her brother had to eat rats to keep from starving. She would play La Vie En Rose in our class and there would be tears in her eyes. She was a tough old broad but I loved her dearly. I found out she died of cancer a few years ago. I hope she knew that she made a difference in kids' lives.

To lacouerfairy: Why was it that French teachers were elderly and stern and feisty. Maybe sick and tired of English speaking kids trying to master French. I was terrified of mine.

...But on the other hand, I know she was fair. I also have wondered what happened to her. I am sure she would have died now. Likely to have been a refugee from the Occupation of Paris in 1940.

[@michaelmika2995]

I was born in Paris 75-years ago and grew up listening to this music thanks to my maman. We lived in the 18-eme arrondissement near Montmartre, where Edith gained fame in Paris. We came to this great country in 1952 and ended up in Queens. I now live in N.H. Thanks to the brave Americans, I am here today. In 1943 bombs were falling left and right and my father put me and my mother on a train to Ellon, Normandy. We were a few miles from Caen, a city leveled by the bombing, and survivedth D-Day invasion. We went swimming at Arromanches after the war. I still remember the three sunken Liberty ships facing the coast and all the DUK-boats. Thank you to the brave, who died fighting, so that we can now live in peace. I, too, am an immigrant. I set foot on this land on this day, March 3, 1952 from Paris, France. As you can probably tell, I listen to this song often, my maman's favorite. I know she can hear this and it is in her honor and memory. We came here on the, "Ile de France." I was seasick for six, agonizing days. It was worth it. Crying right now.....Michel

[@joanschilleci7564]

Michel, As I am listening to the beautiful voice of Edith, I am so enjoying your post. Twenty five years ago this past year, my husband and I were blessed to have been able to have taken a 17 day belated honeymoon to the French and English countryside. I had sailed to France on the SS France with my brother and my mother in 1972. From the moment we sailed from NY city and passed the Statue of Liberty, the all French crew spoke nothing but French which was wonderful. We landed in Le Harve and took the boat train to Paris. We stayed 3 weeks on the Left Bank and spent the next 3 weeks in Italy. But in 1994 when my husband and I were on our honeymoon walking the beaches of Normandy with old soldiers who said "the last time we were here, "Nazis were shooting at us"; it felt like we were walking through history. We ate lunch at a small restaurant nearby where there was a sign that said "Welcome to our American liberators". Going to the American Cemetery and seeing all of the crosses and stars of David, changed our loves forever. Young people don't realize that "freedom is not free"; somebody had to pay the price so that we were able to be free. Your parents and mine were members of truly "The Greatest Generation". I also grew up listening to music. I would like to believe that your maman and my own precious are listening to this beautiful song in heaven. I also am crying now.

[@femkevalenkamp5460]

I love reading the comments and seeing how everyone has their own interpretation of this kind of music. One person might see themselfs sitting on a balcony bathing in the sun and the other dreams of rainy days and resting inside.

The beacon of Europe is slowly transforming into an Asian/African pot of guilt, because one million years ago France had colonies. Europe is fading, and this will cause civilization as we know it to fade into oblivion... Such a pity... French people should stand up for their nation of theirs...

You had found this record at the thrift shop for two dollars and you put it on out of curiosity. You remember back to a conversation you had with the handsome friend you’ve known for three years. His smile is engraved into your mind. You laugh, you smile. Your cat glares at you across the room watching you slow dance awkwardly.

Imagine, as you are walking trough Paris in the late evening you stop to listen to one of the bands playing in the restauraunt nearby. You decide to walk inside, maybe buy a cup of tea and sit down for a second. You are here, sipping the hot drink your whole body is slowly melting due to the romantic music. In the middle of your fouvrite song a man appears next to your little table and holds out a hand "m'am, would you like to have a dance with me?"

Commencez maintenant,Monsieur, il vaut mieux commencer à apprendre une langue le pus tôt possible: plus l'on vieillit, plus c'est difficile...Et, moi qui suis Française, je vous le dit: pour nous, le Français est presque évident, du moins si on le parle correctement, mais les doutes nous assaillent bien vite. Pour des étrangers, la langue Française est une horreur, mais il ne faut pas se décourager. Pensez que son orthographe a été fixée au Moyen-âge et vous comprendrez mieux les écritures qui peuvent sembler étranges. (Start learning it now: the more you get older, the more difficult it is to learn a language. As a French myself, I can tell you this language is a nightmare for all who try to learn it, because the orthography (hope it's an english word) was decided during the middle ages, and because we think it's obvious, we can not explain it very well. Keep working and you will master it one day.) Good luck!

What great memories we had I hope we will visit next time soon

I don't understand how but when I heard the second song tears formed on the corners of my eyes and I could hear laughter of children and imagined being in a living room with a radio on a table watching the children playing on the street out the window as I had a drink in my hands and smiling as I saw the children running through the streets with the sun shining brightly.

Piaf remains an icon that I heard for the first time in the early '50s. I will never forget 'Mon légionnaire' the first song she performed that night. A few years later, I had the 'honor' of dining with her and a few French notables. I have to say she was the most disagreable person I ever met. Notwithstanding, I never stopped listening to her incredible art.
