Ah, Que La Vie Est Belle is Zaho de Sagazan’s glittering love letter to the surprising jolts of joy that make life feel almost magical. She paints the scene with dream-like snapshots: crystal roses creaking, a ruby-red opera bursting from a laser, a paradise bird flashing its wings. Wrapped in a lover’s embrace, the singer marvels at how, in one dazzling instant, the world can glow with color, warmth, and delicious possibility.
But this celebration is layered with shadows. Winter’s chill, whispers of “bombs and bullets,” and playful threats hint that darkness is never far away. That tension only heightens the song’s central message: because beauty is fleeting, we should gulp it down like a baby greedily drinking milk, shine “like lightning,” and let happiness sweep through our hearts. Zaho reminds us that life is beautiful precisely because it dances on the edge of fragility, turning every small moment into something worth cherishing.
