"La Vie en Rose" is a song written in 1946 that portrayed the gritty life of the Parisian underworld during the dark days of the Paris occupation by Germany. Lyricist and singer Edith Piaf won instant acclaim for the song, which captured the hardships and hopes of the time, and it became her signature piece. "La Vie en Rose" went on to become a popular cover for a number of famous performers and an award-winning film in 2007. The title literally means "life in pink," or life seen through rose-colored glasses. It was an apt metaphor for the colorful life of its creator.
