It expresses acceptance of the ups and downs of life, often used to convey a sense of resignation or understanding when things don't go as planned. The phrase reflects a philosophical attitude towards life's unpredictability. The phrase gained popularity in various cultural contexts, including music and literature. One notable example is the song "C'est La Vie" by Cheb Mami, which blends traditional Algerian music with modern influences.
