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 BOHEME!"

The best useful translation I've heard is "Such is life" - inferring, "This is just the way life is."
An associated idiom, "C'est la guerre", which means "This is war", would likewise best be interpreted as "Such is war.", inferring "This is just the way war is"
