      The song is about fathers being absent from the lives of their children.
      The sadness is aggravated tenfold when you know Stromae's father was killed during the Rwandan genocide from 1994.

      I never knew. When the chorus hit all i think was about my father and the emotional and mental abuse he and my step mom did, blackmail saying they would make my younger brother (aka: my step brother) to forget me.
      Anyway the song really hits it now. A shame his dad died. Rest in peace

      Thanks for this comment! I made this translation when I just started learning French so it's not perfect. I agree that "What a dad" is not the best translation. The connotation is a lot more negative or frustrated like you said. I would probably translate it as "Damn dad" now :)

    While this song maybe hits close to home with people who have something with their dads, but for me, it reminds me of my brother, he's nine years older than me, when i was a kid, he used to seat me with him and get me to watch different thigs with him, different singers and celebrities at that time, one of them being stromae, i remember him showing me the music video and explaining what the song means, i didn't really understand at that time, but i just really loved spending quality time with my only big brother, i know I'm talking as if something bad has happened to my brother since then, but thank god that's not the case, however, when i was only eleven years old, he got a scholarship in a university in the usa, and since then he's only come a few times, the last time i actually saw him was almost two years ago and he even left on a bad note, he doesn't answer my texts and keeps changing his number, even when i told him five months ago that I'm now in my senior year of highscool he still hasn't responded, i stopped texting him. It's just that, this song reminds me of the better times when we used to be close, now i even forget i have a big brother sometimes.

      Was he abused and trying to escape whom ever is hurting him within the family?
      Or is he in a relationship with an abusive person who won't allow him contact to you?
      This is not normal behavior, it's the behavior of a traumatized person

      @@lukasemilio Ok , if you just read the first comment you would have seen that they talk about the second verse, and if you had read the comment like someone who knows how to read, you would have understand that i didn't understand what the first co.ment talk about and that i tried with the thing that seems the closer from what the person said. It's the action of saying false stuff to try to understand the person we're talking with. You know, like when someone ask " What was the name of Van Gogh' famous picture again?" and we answer "Van gogh's famous picture? You mean, la nuit étoilée?" and everyone know that la nuit etoilée is a paint (idk the name in english), but sometimes, we have to say false stuff to understand what the person in front is saying.
