Lyrics of Formidable - Stromae

Formidable (original)

Formidable, formidable
Tu étais formidable, j'étais fort minable,
Nous étions formidables,
Formidable,
Tu étais formidable,
J'étais fort minable,
Nous étions formidables.
Eh, l'bébé, oups : mademoiselle,
Je vais pas vous draguer, promis, juré,
J'suis célibataire et depuis hier putain,
J'peux pas faire d'enfants, mais bon, c'est pas... eh, reviens !
5 minutes quoi, j't'ai pas insulté, j'suis poli, courtois,
Et un peu fort bourré et pour les mecs comme moi
Vous avez autre chose à faire, vous m'pourriez vu hier
Où j'étais
Formidable, formidable
Tu étais formidable, j'étais fort minable,
Nous étions formidables,
Formidable,
Tu étais formidable, j'étais fort minable,
Nous étions formidables.
Eh tu t'es regardé, tu t'crois beau
Parce que tu t'es marié ?!
Mais c'est qu'un anneau, mec, t'emballes pas,
Elle va t'larguer comme elles font chaque fois,
Et puis l'autre fille, tu lui en a parlé ?
Si tu veux je lui dis, comme ça c'est réglé,
Et au p'tit aussi, enfin si vous en avez,
Attends 3 ans, 7 ans et là vous verrez
Si c'est
Formidable, formidable,
Tu étais formidable, j'étais fort minable,
Nous étions formidables,
Formidable,
Tu étais formidable, et j'étais fort minable,
Nous étions formidables.
Et, petite, oh, pardon : petit,
Tu sais dans la vie y'a ni méchant ni gentil,
Si maman est chiante, c'est qu'elle a peur d'être mamie,
Si papa trompe maman, c'est parce que maman vieillit, tiens !
Pourquoi t'es tout rouge?
Beh, reviens, gamin,
Et qu'est-ce que vous avez tous
A me regarder comme un singe, vous ?
Ah, oui, vous êtes saints, vous,
Bande de macaques !
Donnez moi un bébé singe, il sera
Formidable, formidable
Tu étais formidable, j'étais fort minable,
Nous étions formidables,
Formidable,
Tu étais formidable, j'étais fort minable,
Nous étions formidables

(translation)

Wonderful wonderful
You were great, I was very shabby,
We were great,
Tremendous,
You were great,
I was very shabby,
We were great.
Eh, the baby, oops: miss,
I won't flirt with you, promise, swear,
I'm single and since fucking yesterday,
I can't have children, but hey, it's not... eh, come back!
5 minutes what, I didn't insult you, I'm polite, courteous,
And a little drunk and for guys like me
You have something else to do, you could see me yesterday
Where I was
Wonderful wonderful
You were great, I was very shabby,
We were great,
Tremendous,
You were great, I was very shabby,
We were great.
Hey you looked at yourself, you think you're beautiful
Because you got married?!
But it's just a ring, man, don't get carried away
She's going to dump you like they always do
And then the other girl, did you talk to her about it?
If you want I tell him, so it's settled,
And to the little one too, finally if you have any,
Wait 3 years, 7 years and there you will see
If it's
Wonderful wonderful,
You were great, I was very shabby,
We were great,
Tremendous,
You were wonderful, and I was very pathetic,
We were great.
And, little, oh, sorry: little,
You know in life there's neither naughty nor nice,
If mom is boring, it's because she's afraid of being a granny,
If dad is cheating on mum, it's because mum is getting old!
Why are you all red?
Well, come back, kid,
And what do you all have
Looking at me like a monkey, you?
Ah, yes, you are holy, you,
Bunch of monkeys !
Give me a baby monkey, he'll be
Wonderful wonderful
You were great, I was very shabby,
We were great,
Tremendous,
You were great, I was very shabby,
we were great
