I think you might mean c'est la vie, not, si la vie. It is a french phrase meaning "that's life."

"C'est la vie" (phrase), a French phrase that roughly translates as "it is the life". In context, it relates to traditional sayings, such as "this is the life", or "that's life for you". It is debated whether or not the phrase is positive or negative in tone; most argue that it can be used in either way. All that changes is the manner in which it is said.
- - mostly it is something you say when things don't work out.

It's French and is spelled 'C'est la vie".
Literally (word-for-word), it means "That is the life/This is the life", but the intended meaning is "That's life" or "Such is life".
It is used to mean that something that seems bad isn't all that bad, but is just a part of life.

It is French (c'est la vie) for "such is life." It is said when you shrug things off that can't be helped. Similar to English slang "s--t happens". :)

dont know if you really meant " Si la vie" which would mean "If life" or if you meant " C la vie" which would mean " Its life"...
