Translation of the song lyrics 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

Formidable (translation)

Formidable, formidable
You were amazing, I was pretty pathetic,
We were amazing,
Formidable,
You were amazing,
I was pretty pathetic,
We were amazing.

Hey, baby— oops, sorry, miss,
I'm not gonna hit on you, I swear, I promise,
I'm single, and as of yesterday, damn it,
I can't have kids, but hey, that's not... hey, come back!
Just five minutes, I didn't insult you, I'm polite, courteous,
And a little too drunk, and for guys like me
You've got better things to do, you might've seen me yesterday
Where I was

Formidable, formidable
You were amazing, I was pretty pathetic,
We were amazing,
Formidable,
You were amazing, I was pretty pathetic,
We were amazing.

Hey, take a look at yourself, you think you're handsome
Just because you got married?!
But it's only a ring, man, don't get ahead of yourself,
She's gonna dump you like they always do,
And that other girl, did you tell her about it?
If you want I'll tell her, that way it's settled,
And the kid too, well, if you've got one,
Wait three years, seven years, and then you'll see
If it's

Formidable, formidable,
You were amazing, I was pretty pathetic,
We were amazing,
Formidable,
You were amazing, and I was pretty pathetic,
We were amazing.

And, little girl— oh, sorry, little boy,
You know in life there's no bad guy or good guy,
If mom's a pain, it's 'cause she's scared of becoming a grandma,
If dad cheats on mom, it's because mom's getting older, there!
Why are you all red? Come on, come back, kid,
And what's wrong with all of you,
Looking at me like I'm some kind of monkey?
Oh, right, you're all saints, you,
Bunch of baboons!
Give me a baby monkey, and he'll be

Formidable, formidable
You were amazing, I was pretty pathetic,
We were amazing,
Formidable,
You were amazing, I was pretty pathetic,
We were amazing
