Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Femme Idéale by Ben Mazué from French to English.

Morning, daycare, work, kids

Rushed outings, dinner, bath, story, teeth, bed, cuddles

You got no time left, yet you've started nothing

It's nothing new, you run

Since you've got several loves

Since you gave birth

And time's starting to run out

The heart's elastic, you know it now

You've put your kids in it

You dreamed of this life, now you doubt

Everyone says "go on", so you cast off the ropes

Chorus 1

Stand-out teacher, soulmate

Golden worker, but woman, sister

You can't, you can't, you can't, you can't

Stand-out teacher, soulmate

Golden worker, but woman, sister

You'll see, the more time goes by, the more you'll know

Verse 1

First you quit, the signals

Really pushed you, and otherwise

It didn't go down like you think

You're just lost. Confidence

Took off with your feed

It's been gone since the start

You gotta make your choices alone, no model

Your man, your mom, your sis

There's no help, there's no help, you know

Chorus 2

Stand-out teacher, soulmate

Golden worker, but woman, sister

You can't, you can't, you can't, you can't

Stand-out teacher, soulmate

Golden worker, but woman, sister

You'll see, the more time goes by, the more you'll know

Verse 2

Go find who you are, go on, reinvent yourself

When your life's unplugged

When you know you're not sexy anymore

When you know you're no longer

Chorus 3

Stand-out teacher, soulmate

Golden worker, but woman, sister

You can't, you can't, you can't, you can't

Stand-out teacher, soulmate

Golden worker, but woman, sister

You'll see, the more time goes by the more you'll know

Stand-out teacher, soulmate

Golden worker, but woman, sister

You can't, you can't, you can't, you can't

Stand-out teacher, soulmate

Golden worker, but woman, sister

You'll see, the more time goes by, the more you'll know

SONG MEANING

La Femme Idéale paints the hectic daily marathon of a modern woman who is forever switching hats: mom, lover, employee, storyteller, cuddle-giver. From the mad rush of “matin, crèche, taf, gamins” to the bedtime ritual of “histoire, dents, dodo,” Ben Mazué lists every role that crowds her schedule and her mind. The chorus keeps piling on labels—maîtresse hors-pair, âme-soeur, bosseuse en or—to show how impossible it is to live up to everybody’s picture of the “perfect woman.” Behind the playful groove you can feel her exhaustion, her doubts and the sneaky fear that she has lost her spark.

Yet the song is far from hopeless. Mazué’s voice becomes a gentle coach, reminding her that the heart can stretch, that time will teach, and that reinvention is not only allowed but necessary. The refrain “tu verras, plus l’temps passera, plus tu sauras” is both comfort and promise: wisdom grows from the chaos. “La Femme Idéale” is ultimately a tender shout-out to anyone juggling too much at once, urging them to drop the myth of perfection, make their own choices and rediscover the person hidden under the to-do list.
