Vive Nous Lyrics in English Bon Entendeur , Louis Chedid

“Vive Nous” is a lively French anthem that treats love like a breathtaking tightrope act: thrilling, beautiful, yet perilously fragile. Bon Entendeur and Louis Chedid compare happiness to “reaching for the moon” and warn that pessimists—the “sobbing violins”—will always predict a fall. If you start believing their gloomy soundtrack, gare à toi (watch out), because doubt can make love shed its leaves and topple from its chair in an instant.

The remedy is simple and joyful: keep your hand in your partner’s, tune out the naysayers, and celebrate every shared heartbeat. As long as you love me—vive toi; I love you—vive moi; together—vive nous! The song is both a cautionary tale and a toast, reminding us that love survives when we protect it, nourish it, and proudly shout, “Long live us!”
