Stromae - Formidable (Live on KEXP)

[@wowthtsgood]

I love how every song he does is a story. A personality. A character that he acts out on stage. Stromae is a genius. So extremely underrated.

This guy is and this song is the reason I started learning French.
I didn't understand a word when I first heard the song, but his music and and his rythm and his performance made me look up the lyrics in English and when I heard the song again, it hit me very differently and stronger than the last time. Love this guy.

Wonderful, wonderful
you were wonderful, I was so pathetic, we were wonderful
wonderful
you we wonderful, I was so pathetic, we were wonderful
(verse 1)
oh baby - oops: miss,
I don't want to hit on you I promise, I swear
I'm single since yesterday, fuck!
I can't have a kid, and well it's not... hey come back!
Just 5 minutes, I didn't insult you, I'm polite, respectful
And definitely pissed (drunk)
You're not gonna wanna talk to a guy like me, huh?
you have other things to do
If you'd only seen me yesterday
when I was
(reprise)
Oh, look at you, you think you're handsome
Because you're married but its only a ring, man, don't get carried away
Shes going to dump you like they always do
And then that other girl, did you mention her?
If you want, I can tell your wife and then that's that
And then to the kid, actually if you have any wait 3 years, 7 years and then you'll see if its still...
(reprise)
Hey little girl! Oh sorry: little boy
You know in life there is no good or bad guy
If mommy is a pain its because shes afraid of being a granny
If daddy cheats on mommy its because mommy is aging, hey!
Why are you all red? Hey come back here kid
And whats wrong with you all, looking at me like a monkey, Ah right, you're all saints
Bunch of monkeys!
Give me a baby monkey he'll be...

ENGLISH LYRICS TRANSLATION
Wonderful
You were wonderful, I was so pathetic
We were wonderful
Wonderful
You were wonderful, I was so pathetic
We were wonderful
Baby oops miss
I don't want to flirt, promised sworn
I'm single, since yesterday
I can't make a child and well it's not... come back
Five minutes what I didn't insult you
I'm polite, courteous
And a little very drunk
And for guys like me
You have other things to do
If you'd only seen me yesterday... I was wonderful
Wonderful
You were wonderful, I was so pathetic
We were wonderful
Wonderful
You were wonderful, I was so pathetic
We were wonderful
Did you look at yourself
You think you're beautiful because you got married
But it's only a ring dude
Don't get carried away
She's going to dump you like they do every time
And then the other girl, have you told her?
If you want I'll tell her
Like that it's resolved
And the kid also
Finally if you have one
Wait three years seven years
And there you will see
If it's wonderful
Wonderful
You were wonderful, I was so pathetic
We were wonderful
Little girl sorry little boy
You know in life
There's no mean guy no nice guy
If mum is irritating
It's because of fear to be a granny
If dad cheats on mom
It's because mum is getting old
Why are you all red?
Come back kid!
And what do you all have
To look at me like a monkey
Yeah you're all saints
Band of monkeys!
Give me a baby monkey, he'll be wonderful
Wonderful
You were wonderful, I was so pathetic
We were wonderful
Wonderful
You were wonderful, I was so pathetic
We were wonderful

[@EdwxD10]

Maravillosa, maravillosa,
tú eras maravillosa, yo era un miserable.
Éramos maravillosos.
Maravillosa, maravillosa,
tú eras maravillosa, yo era un miserable.
Éramos maravillosos.
Cariño, perdón, señorita,
no voy a conquistarte,
te lo prometo,
soy soltero
desde ayer, joder.
No podré tener niños
pero bueno...
¡Eh, vuelve!
Dame cinco minutos,
no te he insultado,
soy educado y cortés
y estoy jodido.
No querrás tener nada que ver
con los chicos como yo,
Ojalá me hubieras visto ayer,
cuando era
Maravillosa, maravillosa,
tú eras maravillosa, yo era un miserable.
Éramos maravillosos.
Maravillosa, maravillosa,
tú eras maravillosa, yo era un miserable.
Éramos maravillosos.
¿Pero te has visto?
Te crees muy guapo
porque te has casado.
Pero no es más que un anillo,
no te emociones.
Ella te dejará
como siempre hacen todas.
¿Y qué ocurre con la otra chica,
la has mencionado?
Si quieres yo se lo cuento
para que todo quede claro.
Y al niño también
si es que tienes uno.
Espera tres años o siete
y ya verás si es
Maravillosa, maravillosa,
tú eras maravillosa, yo era un miserable.
Éramos maravillosos.
Maravillosa, maravillosa,
tú eras maravillosa, yo era un miserable.
Éramos maravillosos.
Y pequeña, perdón, pequeña,
Sabes que en esta vida
no hay personas buenas ni malas.
Si mamá es tan pesada
es porque tiene miedo de ser abuela.
Si papá le pone los cuernos
es porque mamá está envejeciendo.
¿Por qué te ruborizas?
Ven aquí, chica.
¿Y qué os ocurre a todos,
que me miráis como a un mono?
Ah, que sois unos santos,
¡panda de simios!
Dame un niño mono, y será
Maravillosa, maravillosa,
tú eras maravillosa, yo era un miserable.
Éramos maravillosos.
Maravillosa, maravillosa,
tú eras maravillosa, yo era un miserable.
Éramos maravillosos.

Formidable, formidable
Tu étais formidable, j'étais fort minable
Nous étions formidables
Formidable
Tu étais formidable, j'étais fort minable
Nous étions formidables
Oh, Bébé, oups, Mademoiselle
J'vais pas vous draguer, promis juré
J'suis célibataire, depuis hier, putain
J'peux pas faire d'enfant et bon, c'est pas...
Hé, reviens, cinq minutes quoi, j't'ai pas insultée
J'suis poli, courtois, et un peu fort bourré
Mais pour les mecs comme moi
Vous avez autre chose à faire, hein
M'auriez vu hier
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
Oh, 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 le font chaque fois
Et puis l'autre fille, tu lui en as parlé?
S'tu veux j'lui dis, comme ça c'est réglé
Et au petit aussi, enfin si vous en avez
Attends trois ans, sept ans et là vous verrez
Si c'est formidable, formidable
Tu étais formidable, j'étais fort minable
Nous étions formidables
Formidable
Tu étais formidable, j'étais fort minable
Nous étions formidables
Hé petite, oh pardon, petit
Tu sais dans la vie, y a ni méchants ni gentils
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? Ben reviens gamin
Et qu'est-ce que vous avez tous
À 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
