Fils de Joie
Stromae
Son of Joy
Being alone is difficult
And there, it's been years
And judging is easy
Especially when you haven't tasted it
The hardest, well, it was the first time
Then the hardest is knowing when will be the last time
It's true, I'm not against a little tenderness from time to time
And then, this time, well, I could do it by insulting her
Yes, everything is negotiable in life, for a fee
Plus, I'm surely her best customer
But oh!
Leave my mom alone
Yes, I know, it's true she's not perfect
She's a hero
And I will always proudly talk about her
That I will talk about
I'm a son of a bitch, as they say
After all she's done for them
Forgive their stupidity
Oh dear mother!
They dehumanize you
It's easier
The same ones court you
And everyone turns a blind eye
Why does everyone hate me?
When I'm the one who feeds them
Their lives would be much more modest
Without me, they'd be rotten
The bed and security
Have a price, Madame
Well yes in life everything is paid for
Hadn't they ever taught you that
I'm accused of human trafficking
But 50, 40, 30 or 20%, it's already good
They shouldn't think too much of themselves as models
Ladies, or should I say whores!
But oh!
Leave my mom alone
Yes, I know, it's true she's not perfect
She's a hero
And I will always proudly talk about her
That I will talk about
I'm a son of a bitch, as they say
After all she's done for them
Forgive their stupidity
Oh dear mother!
They dehumanize you
It's easier
The same ones court you
And everyone turns a blind eye
I know it's your job
But I have to do mine, right?
Between yours and mine
The difference is that I pay taxes
Come on, move along, Madame
Take your papers and what's left of your dignity
Poor woman, pffff
Find yourself a real job!
But oh! (But oh!)
Leave my mom alone
Yes I know (yes I know), it's true she's not perfect
She's a hero (she's a hero)
And I will always proudly talk about her (that I will talk about)
That I will talk about (that I will talk about)
I'm a son of a bitch, as they say
After all she's done for them
Forgive their stupidity
Oh dear mother!
They dehumanize you
It's easier
The same ones court you
And everyone turns a blind eye
