A lady from Haiti went to one of there shows and went back stage in tears and told them about things that were going on over there and at the start of the song he says.A woman came and said to me she seen a lady sell a baby for $10 and $20 maybe.So that's how this song came about she asked if they can write a song about her story,and that's how this song C'est La Vie came about. Quite sad really when you listen to the lyrics.
@colours63 Wow...I hope your account is true. I really love this song and its lyrics. Ya see, tales of women having to sell their babies, brothers killing each other, people living on their knees and biting sugar-coated bullets are all real life situations some of us have seen over the years.
no it's not what i was inquiring.....i heard sumwhere that this song is based on real life facts like it has sumthing to do with bosnian war of eastern europe.
i was searching for this song for days together, don't know why it does not appear in the main songs list when you search for ub 40 in you tube,any way in my opinion its definitely their best song ever
Que Big de canción el ritmo y la letra el grupo bueno es todo. recuerdo buenos momentos con esas canciones de ub40 saludos a todos en todo el mundo..... Y AL QUE NO LE GUSTE PA FUERA
no sean cursis!!!! io tengo 24 años y apenas la empece a escuchar y no es gran cosa jajajaja, parecen abuelos recordando el danzon jajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajaja
Y quien te nombro el poseedor de la verdad??? de pronto tus gustos sean distintos y no decimos nada...para muchos de nosotros esas son bellas canciones....
Mega-reminds me of those days down west brom,with the old gang,Kaz,jo,and Chris--great song. Went to see them at the milton keynes bowl at about the same time this was out,
The love in this time promises and lies promises and lies every time I see the people suffering with promises and lies please don´t be dogmatic!!!!!!! this songs inspired me see very carfefully every personal relationship
я прочитала название песни так: "Тще-сла-вие" :))
