C'est La Vie

violet et bleu,
rouge est verte, et jaune est rose,
c'est le monde, c'est beau.
c'est vrai, c'est faux

quand il pleut,
le soleil, il attende

beaucoup des couleurs
J'adore, je suis triste, c'est belle,
mais oui, c'est la vie.

Author notes

I was inspired by a song called C'est la vie, by Vanessa Carlton, and a contest that I wasn't able to enter because I was having trouble rhyming.
It's in French, and because I'm not very fluent in other languages, it may seem a bit choppy, but it was such a good idea (ou bonne idée!) I just had to give it a shot.

Translation:

Purple and blue,
Red is green, and yellow is pink,
it's the world, it's beautiful,
it's true, it's false.

when it rains,
the sun, it waits

lots of colors,
I love, I'm sad, it's beautiful,
but yes, that's life.

(Did I say choppy?)

Please tell me what you think

    Cool

    It's always neat to experiment with poems in other languages. Im taking a french class next year for this exact reason. You should keep doing things like this. they are very different and neat.
