louchant — squinting / cross-eyed

Louchant comes from the verb loucher, which means to squint or to be cross-eyed. It's a less common verb that evokes a very specific, almost childlike image.

In the song, the lyrics

Plus Tard is an upbeat stroll down memory lane where Bigflo & Oli stack together all the funny, magical and slightly irrational things we believed as kids. Monsters under the floor, lava outside the crosswalk, eyelashes that grant wishes – the song piles up these colorful memories like snapshots in an old album, inviting you to grin at your own childhood myths.

Yet the chorus flips the coin: “Tu comprendras plus tard… Mais on est plus tard, et je comprends pas.” Now that “later” has arrived, the singer still feels just as puzzled. Bills, lottery tickets, dirty dishes and the secret hope that parents never die – adulthood turns out to be another chapter of unanswered questions. The message is playful but touching: we never really stop wondering, so keep your curiosity alive and enjoy the ride.
