How to play "La Vie en rose" on baritone ukulele! Easy tutorial (mostly)
In this tutorial, I'll show how to play "La Vie en rose" by Edith Piaf and Louiguy (English lyrics by Mack David) on baritone ukulele in the key of G. This song was famously recorded by Louis Armstrong in 1950 and much less famously recorded by me in 2024. I hope you'll check out my new arrangement of the song!

Lyrics:
Hold me close and hold me fast,
This magic spell you cast
This is la vie en rose
When you kiss me, heaven sighs
And though I close my eyes
I see la vie en rose
When you press me to your heart
I'm in a world apart
A world where roses bloom
And when you speak, angels sing from above
Everyday words seem to turn into love songs
Give your heart and soul to me
And life will always be la vie en rose

Great vid! Love the baritone uke. Feels so much better than the smaller ones. Will for sure be learning this song!
Fantastic ❤
The rules remind me of sayings I learned growing up. Start small? In Scots we say, “Mony a mickle maks a muckle." (Many little things make a lot). And from the Spanish, "Vistame despacio, estoy de prisa," (Dress me slowly, I'm in a hurry). Thanks!
Best version ever!
nice
The arrangement is super nice and your teaching style is perfect, I really like the mix of chords and fingerstyle and you manage to make it very clear and easy to learn! Thank a lot, for real!
Genia.
Love you! You are so clear and beginner-friendly. ❤😊
Love the Baritone Uke, I have 2.
Is this concert or tenor uke?
😊😊😊😊
You start with G here and then Gmaj 7; but on the play along you go G and then I think D7. Very confusing when someone is trying to learn. Overall, ur an excellent teacher.
Wonderful lesson , just what I was looking for! Excellent teacher👍

Hi Abigail - I’ve only just picked up on your channel and was wondering why when you Play the A7 chord, the included notes are: E, G, C#, and E. (Why no “A”) ?
Loooove this question! This tutorial is definitely geared toward folks who don't like barre chords. The A7 I use for this type of arrangement (the E, G, C#, and E, or I call 2020 based on fret numbers) is absolutely a C# diminished chord, lacks the root of A. If we use the root on the G string (2220), we lose the 7th of the chord... and the next logical place to add that is on the 3rd fret of the E string (taking us to 2223). It's totally possible to play that as a 4-finger chord, but I play it as a barre chord. If you are comfortable with the barre chord or 4-finger version, I absolutely prefer the 2223. But most baritone players accept 2020 as an A7 even though it's technically C# diminished! Great catch.
Strum pattern? My brain can’t process it 😅
Beautiful!
I mean this is enough to put a smile on anybody's face. So good, thank you.
My. Style~^^
Seems like they aren't any fast & happy songs for baritone?
