This page on our site covers “you” in French. There are two ways to say “you” in French: “tu” for somebody you know or a child, or “vous” for a stranger or group of people. This page on our site covers être in detail. This is the third-person plural form of verb “être” (to be). This line translates to “You men are all the same”. In the following section we have selected lines from from the song of interest which we think offer interesting insights in to French grammar and vocabulary. In the context of the song, all men are “les mêmes” (the same). The words “ même“ has multiple translations including “same” and “even”. This page on our site covers the French definite article ( le, la, les meaning “the”) in detail.
However, when saying “tous les jour”, the -s is silent. When saying “Je les aime tous” (I like all of them), for example, the -s is also pronounced. In this song title, the -s is pronounced. The video ends with Stromae dancing in front of a café both a group of dancers then a female dancer. She (Stromae in the video and song) then proceeds to complain about typical female stereotypes towards men: “You’re all the same” (Vous êtes tous les mêmes), bunch of unfaithful people (Bande de mauviettes infidèles). Stromae wakes up between a man an a women. In the YouTube video, which has had over 250 million views (see end of post), Stromae is dressed as a woman. In a nutshell, the song deals with the stereotypes women have towards men in long-term relationships. The song was a big hit in Europe, reaching the top of the charts. “ Tous Les Mêmes” (Pronunciation: tus le mɛm Meaning: all the same) is song by French-speaking Belgian singer Stromae, released in 2013 on the album, Racine Carrée.
