Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Plus Tard by Bigflo & Oli from French to English.

Bigflo and Oli

You know, right

When I was little I thought

That if I crossed my eyes too much

I could get my eyes stuck

That the lashes on my cheeks

Had the power to grant wishes

When I was little I thought

That adults always told the truth

And at night in the car

I thought the moon followed me

But since then what's changed

Not much

I haven't put away

The questions I ask myself

What's changed

Not much

I haven't put away

The questions I ask myself

They told me

You'll understand later

But it's later now

And I don't get it

You'll understand later

But it's later now

And I don't get it

When I was little

I heard a monster

Who lived under my house

I thought I'd die in lava

If I didn't walk

On the crosswalk

That back then

In black-and-white photos

People lived without color

I was sure a kiss from my mom

Could heal the pain

But since then what's changed

Not much

I haven't put away

The questions I ask myself

What's changed

Not much

I haven't put away

The questions I ask myself

They told me

You'll understand later

But it's later now

And I don't get it

You'll understand later

But it's later now

And I don't get it

Today, scratching a ticket

I see myself a millionaire

I tell myself everything'll be better

If I smile at the bank teller

Today I tell myself that if I wait

Someone will do my dishes

And that even if I get older

My parents are immortal

What's changed

Not much

I haven't put away

The questions I ask myself

What's changed

Not much

I haven't put away

The questions I ask myself

They told me

You'll understand later

But it's later now

And I don't get it

You'll understand later

But it's later now

And I don't get it

Later, later, later

Later, later

Did you like this lyrics translation?

louchant — squinting / cross-eyed

Louchant comes from the verb "loucher," meaning to squint or to be cross-eyed. It is a less common, slightly playful verb that paints a vivid, almost childlike picture.

In "Qu'en louchant trop" ("That if I squinted too much"), the lyrics use the word to describe a moment of exaggerated, almost comical effort, as if trying so hard to see something clearly that the eyes cross.

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.
