Formidable
Stromae Lyrics

Formidable, formidable
The situation or person being discussed is amazing or impressive.

Tu étais formidable, j'étais fort minable
You were extraordinary, and I was completely unworthy in comparison.

Nous étions formidables
Together, we were unbeatable or unparalleled.

Oh bébé, oups! Mademoiselle
Oh baby, oops! Excuse me, miss.

Je vais pas vous draguer, promis juré
I won't hit on you, I promise and swear.

Je suis célibataire, depuis hier putain!
I'm single, damn it, since yesterday!

Je peux pas faire d'enfant et bon c'est pas! Eh reviens!
I can't have children, and it's not a big deal! Hey, come back!

Cinq minutes quoi! Je t'ai pas insulté
Just five minutes, come on! I didn't insult you.

Je suis poli, courtois, et un peu fort bourré
I'm polite, courteous, and a little bit drunk.

Et pour les mecs comme moi
And for guys like me.

Vous avez autre chose à faire hein
You have anything else to do, right?

Vous m'auriez vu hier
You should have seen me yesterday.

J'étais formidable, formidable
I was amazing, incredible.

Eh tu t'es regardé, tu te crois beau
Hey, look at yourself, do you think you're handsome?

Parce que tu t'es marié, mais c'est qu'un anneau
Just because you got married, it's just a ring.

Mec, t'emballes pas
Dude, don't get too excited.

Elle va te larguer comme elles le font chaque fois
She'll dump you like they always do.

Et puis l'autre fille, tu lui en as parlé?
And what about the other girl, did you talk to her?

Si tu veux je lui dis, comme ça c'est réglé
If you want, I'll tell her, so it's settled.

Et au petit aussi, enfin si vous en avez
And to the little one too, if you have one.

Attends trois ans, sept ans et là vous verrez
Wait three years, seven years, and you'll see.

Si c'est formidable, formidable
If it's amazing, impressive.

Et petite, oh pardon! Petit
And little one, oh sorry! Little guy.

Tu sais dans la vie y'a ni méchant ni gentil
You know in life, there's neither good nor bad.

Si maman est chiante
If mom is annoying.

C'est qu'elle a peur d'être mamie
It's because she's afraid of being a grandma.

Si papa trompe maman
If dad cheats on mom.

C'est parce que maman vieillit, tiens
It's because mom is getting old, you see.

Pourquoi t'es tout rouge? Ben reviens gamin!
Why are you blushing? Come back, kid!

Et qu'est-ce que vous avez tous
And what's wrong with all of you?

À me regarder comme un singe, vous?
Looking at me like I'm a monkey, huh?

Ah oui vous êtes saints, vous!
Oh, I see, you're all saints!

Bande de macaques!
Bunch of monkeys!

Donnez-moi un bébé singe, il sera formidable, formidable
Give me a baby monkey, it will be amazing, impressive.
