Verse 1

You men are all the same

Macho but cheap

This likely has 2 meanings, cheap meaning frugal, and also cheap as in looking for relationships without commitment

Bunch of unfaithful wimps

Or: Bunch of cheating fools

So predictable

No I'm not certain

That you deserve me

You're lucky that we love you

Tell me 'Thanks'

Chorus 1

See you, see you

Rendez-vous means appointment / date, a noun derived from the second person plural imperative of se rendre ('to go to'), literally '[you (imperative)] go to, get yourself to [a place]

See you at the next argument

Or: The date is fixed for the next rumbl

See you, see you

See you surely at the next period

Or: Save the date, that time of the month

Verse 2

This time was the last

You can believe that it's just a crisis

Or: You may think that I'm throwing a fit

Take a last look at my behind

Or: Check out my butt one last time

It is next to my suitcases

You'll say goodbye to your mother

Meaning she is tired of acting like his mother in the relationship

She who idealizes you

Or: Who puts you on a pedestal

You don't even see everything that you lose

Or: You have no idea what you are losing

With another it would be worse

Or: Believe me, it will be worse with anyone else

What, you also want to finish now?

Or: What, do you want to break up now also?

It's the world upside down

Or: You've got it all wrong!

I said it to make you react only

You were thinking about it

Chorus 2

See you, see you

Rendez-vous means appointment / date, a noun derived from the second person plural imperative of se rendre ('to go to'), literally '[you (imperative)] go to, get yourself to [a place]

See you at the next argument

Règlement literally means 'settlement' (as in the legal sense of paying cash as compensation at the end of a lawsuit). Stromae refers to a long argument as a legal battle

See you, see you

See you surely at the next period

Aux prochaines règles – these words are related to the French expression 'T'as tes règles?' ('Are you on your period?') often said when someone is particularly irritated

Verse 3

Easy to say, I'm emotional

Or: It's easy to say that I'm too whiny

And that I love too much blah-blah-blah

Or: And that I love to talk too much

But no no no, it's important

What you call the menstruation

Les ragnagnas is a very slang term for menstruation

You know life is for children

Or: You know that life is for having children

But as always it's not the right time

Or: But like always, it's never the right moment

Ah yes to make them, there, you are present

But to raise them there will be absentees

Or: But to raise them, you'll be absent

Verse 4

When I'm no longer beautiful

Or: When my beauty will fade

Or at least natural

Or: Or at least without make-up

Stop I know that you lie

Or: Stop it I know you're lying

Only Kate Moss is eternal

Or: Only Kate Moss will stay forever beautiful

Ugly or stupid, it's never good!

Stupid or beautiful, it's never good!

Or: Beast or beauty, it ain't right

Beauty or me, it's never good!

Me or her, it's never good!

Chorus 3

See you, see you, see you at the next argument

Règlement literally means 'settlement' (as in the legal sense of paying cash as compensation at the end of a lawsuit). Stromae refers to a long argument as a legal battle

See you, see you, see you surely at the next period

Aux prochaines règles – these words are related to the French expression 'T'as tes règles?' ('Are you on your period?') often said when someone is particularly irritated

All the same, all the same

All the same and we're fed up

Or: All the same and so tired of it

All the same, all the same

All the same and we're fed up

SONG MEANING

In the song "Tous Les Mêmes" by Stromae, the artist critiques the behavior of men, calling them "macho but cheap" and "infidel mauviettes". He questions whether they deserve the love they receive, and suggests that they are not aware of what they are losing. He also criticizes the idea that beauty is the only thing that matters, and that men are only present when it is convenient for them. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Tous Les Mêmes" to emphasize the idea that men are all the same.
