La vie - meaning

In english, "The Bohemian Life". One of the best songs in Rent that celebrates the life of the Bohemians living in the Village.

"To days of inspiration playing hookie, making something out of nothing, the need to express to communicate, to going against the grain, going insane going mad. To loving tension, no pension, to more than one dimension, to starving for attention, hating convention, hating pretension not to mention of course, hating dear old mom and dad. To riding your bike, Midday past the three- piece suits, to fruits to no absolutes, to Absolute- to choice, to the Village Voice to any passing fad. To being an us-for once-, instead of a them...

LA VIE BOHEME!"
-Jonathon Larson

La vie

Combination of the the word incest (sexual relations with a family member) and the French phrase c'est la vie, which means "That's life" or "Such is life."

Used as a retort to somebody that chides one for getting it on with blood relations.

Person One: You mean you had sex with your own mother? How could this happen in today's world?!?

Person Two: Inc'est la vie!
