Richie Campbell · portuguese → English

What "C’est La Vie" means

The song is a confident and reflective anthem about success, ambition, and navigating life on one's own terms. The artist touches upon themes of vision versus superficiality, luxury living, tight-knit loyalty, and overcoming past struggles where people doubted him. Set against a backdrop of wealth, travel references, and status symbols, the lyrics express a nonchalant attitude toward detractors who try to imitate his lifestyle or hold resentment against his hard-earned success.

Quando uma mulher nega um homem que tem visão
When a woman rejects a man who has a vision
E acaba aceitando o homem que tem televisão
And ends up accepting the man who has a television
Acaba assistindo à visão na televisão, viste né? (Eh)
She ends up watching that vision on television, you see? (Eh)
Rolex pon me wrist and it don't tac tic
Rolex on my wrist and it makes no ticking sound
