Hey! Hey! Hey! mec,
C'est quand tu veux pour toi tu sais!
Oh! Oh! Oh! Ouais
Rien que pour toi, la spéciale j'te fais
Mais qu'est ce qui se passe aujourd'hui c'est chaud
(Hé mec)
Les gadgis se jettent sur les gadjos
Comme si elles avaient toutes un modjo
(Viens par ici)
Macho girl y'a quoi devenir barjo
(Tu veux jouer)
Partout harcelé par des minettes
(Hé mec)
La clope au bec, la main dans la jupette
(Tu veux jouer)
Leur regard braqué sur ma braguette
(Viens par ici)
Macho girl finit le temps des soubrettes
(Tu veux jouer)
Refrain (x2):
Hey! Hey! Hey! mec,
C'est quand tu veux pour toi tu sais
Oh! Oh! Oh! Ouais
Rien que pour toi, la spéciale j'te fais
Elles me jettent des regards pervers en passant
(Hé mec)
Me pinçant le postérieur en sifflant
(Tu veux jouer)
Demandant si j'habite chez mes parents
(Viens par ici)
Macho girl rancoeur vieille de 1000 ans
(Tu veux jouer)
Miss, c'est pas que je veux pas vous combler
(Hé mec)
Mais là je me sens vraiment agressé
(Tu veux jouer)
Comme si les rôles étaient inversés
(Viens par ici)
Macho Girls c'est l'heure du jugement dernier
(Tu veux jouer)
Refrain (x2):
(Hé mec
Tu veux jouer
Montre le ici
Tout de suite)
Refrain (x2):
The song "Girls" by Enhancer is a commentary on the societal shift in gender roles and the rise of assertive women. The singer is being pursued relentlessly by women who are taking on traditionally male traits, such as smoking and making lascivious gestures. This is contrasted with a world where women were expected to be subservient and stay in the background, as suggested by the lyric "Macho girl finit le temps des soubrettes" (Macho girl puts an end to the time of maids). The refrain suggests that the singer is not completely against the attention he is receiving from these women, and is perhaps even flattered by it.
The verses describe the singer's experiences being "harassed" by these women, using language that is often associated with men being the aggressors. The women in the song are portrayed as pursuing the singer with a kind of single-minded determination, as if driven by their own "modjo" (mojo). This is in contrast to the traditional stereotype of women waiting to be approached by men. The singer is clearly uncomfortable with the situation, but at the same time, he is being forced to confront his own assumptions about gender roles.
The song is a reflection of the changing attitudes towards gender roles in French society. While there is still a long way to go in terms of achieving true equality between men and women, the rise of "macho girls" suggests that the tide is turning. By exploring these themes through the medium of music, Enhancer is helping to shine a light on this important social issue.
