On Se Moque Lyrics in English by Molière, Le Spectacle Musical

Conventions refers to established customs, rules or social agreements, the unwritten expectations that tell people how they are supposed to behave. It is a fairly formal, slightly dry word, which makes it land harder when used defiantly.

In the song, the lyrics declare "Au diable toutes les conventions" (To hell with all conventions), a rebellious cry against the pressure to conform. The word captures exactly what the character is rejecting: the rules society expects everyone to follow.

“On Se Moque” is a joyful anthem of rebellious love. The singers play a couple who come from two different worlds—“people from above” and “people from below”—yet refuse to let social rules pull them apart. With catchy calls of “On se moque” (We don’t care), they laugh at prejudice, tease their critics, and insist that no one can stop a heart in love. Every line feels like a toast to freedom, urging listeners to celebrate what makes each of us unique rather than hide it.

At its core, the song is a love-powered declaration of individuality and courage. The “white dress” becomes a bold answer to every insult, turning a wedding symbol into an act of defiance. Even when they see “hate and fire” in other people’s eyes, the couple stays fearless, shouting their feelings from every rooftop. It is a musical reminder that choosing love—and proudly owning our differences—can turn any era into “a splendid time.”
