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"

Dearly beloved, we gather here to say our goodbye--s
Here she lie--s, no one knew her worth
The late great daughter of mother Earth
on these nights when we celebrate her ber--th
in that little town of Bethlehem
we raise our glass, you bet your ass to----
La Vie--- Boheme---!
La Vie Boheme!
