la vie en rose (may 1945) is a song by édith piaf, with music by louiguy, édith piaf being the lyricist, but not the composer, registered with sacem. it was probably robert chauvigny who finalised the music, and when édith suggested to marguerite monnot that she sign, the latter rejected "that foolishness." it was eventually louiguy who accepted the authorship of the music. it was broadcast before being recorded. piaf offered the song to marianne michel, who modified the lyrics slightly, changing "les choses" ("things") for "la vie" ("life"). in 1943, piaf had performed at a nightclub/bordello called "la vie en rose." initially, piaf's peers and songwriting team didn't think the song would be successful, finding it weaker than the rest of her repertoire. heeding their advice, the singer put the song aside, only to change her mind the next year. it was performed live in concert for the first time in 1946. it became a favorite with audiences. "la vie en rose" was the song that made piaf internationally famous, with its lyrics expressing the joy of finding true love and appealing to those who had survived the difficult period of world war ii.
