Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Elle a choisit ses bottes elle a prit son joli caleçon.
Elle une drôle de gueule on dirait un bouquet de glaïeul.
Elle est prête a tout ce soir elle va emballer.
Martine t'es vraiment un thooooooon, Martine t'es vraiment un thooooooon, Martine plus thon que toi . tu meeuurs!
Ce soir c'est la fiesta y'a le père Léon qu'a dégueulé, mais Martine elle s'en fou elle est complétement défoncé.
Martine t'es vraiment un thooooooon, Martine t'es vraiment un thooooooon, Martine plus thon que toi . tu meeuurs! (x2)
In Michel L'ingénieur Informaticien's song "Martine," the lyrics tell the story of a girl named Martine who goes to a ball to seduce a man named Léon. She carefully chooses her outfit, including her boots and her pretty underwear. However, Martine has an unconventional appearance, described as having a strange face that resembles a bouquet of gladiolus flowers. Despite her appearance, Martine is determined to do whatever it takes to succeed tonight, as she is ready to make a move and win over Léon.
As the night progresses, Martine is unfazed by the fact that Léon's father has vomited at the party. She is completely intoxicated and, after only thirty minutes, she and Léon begin to get closer. By the end of the evening, Martine is already thinking about getting married, seemingly infatuated with Léon.
The repetitive chorus emphasizes Martine's perceived lack of attractiveness, using the insult "thon" (tuna) to describe her unattractiveness. The lyrics sarcastically state that Martine is such a "thon" that she would make anyone die from shock.
Overall, the song "Martine" humorously portrays a character who is determined to win over a man despite any obstacles or appearance, highlighting the absurdity of societal standards of beauty and the power of confidence.
