La vie est belle Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Barbeuz 

Cover art for La vie est belle lyrics by MC Solaar

This song is about (and against) the war in Irak. The singer changes the point of view in each paragraph :

  • 1st paragraph : a guy in Irak discovers he will be attacked because he's part of the "Axis of Evil" (Axe du mal).
  • 2nd paragraph : a missile (!) tells his story : it's fired over Irak to spread peace, its target is the guy of the 1st paragraph.
  • 3rd paragraph : back to the guy of the first paragraph. His house is hit by the missile, he and his family die.
