Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Tous Les Divorcés by Bénabar from French to English.

There's the first love that'll be the first heartbreak

It'll last forever, well eternity at least

We're a bit more than a man, she's more than all women

Not grown-ups yet, but it moves us to tears

When you love the first time, it's for your whole life

You learn the second time that it's not the last yet

The one who didn't believe impossible promises

He won't fall from high, but you don't go up high

When you're reasonable

All the divorced loved each other tenderly

Every other weekend, they repeat it to their kids

What's the most important

The first love or the latest

There's the second love, less spectacular

That’s still worth the trip, nothing to envy its big brother

We gratefully take what life gives back to us

We want to believe but we doubt this time's the right one

There's the third love, now we know the tune

And above all let's not think passion is done

It's as devouring as the previous ones

It's not because you love many times that you don't really love

That you don't really love

All the divorced loved each other tenderly

Every other weekend, they repeat it to their kids

What's the most important

The first love or the latest

What's the most important

The first love or the latest

There's the fourth, the fifth, the sixth

You stop the elevator at the floors that suit you

Some know only one, the very first

Others know plenty, never admit defeat

There are the unhappy ones, who must be hugged

Who haven't known love and think they don't deserve it

That's wrong, there's no age to meet your soulmate

Besides, I often tell my wife she shouldn't despair

All the divorced loved each other tenderly

Every other weekend, they repeat it to their kids

What's the most important?

The first love or the latest

Outro

All the divorced

Loved each other

All the divorced loved each other

SONG MEANING

Tous Les Divorcés is Bénabar’s witty, tongue-in-cheek tour of our sentimental CVs. He starts with the grand frisson of the very first love — the one we all swear will last “for eternity.” Soon enough, though, a second, third, even sixth romance arrives, each bringing fresh hope and fresh doubt. In a playful seesaw between optimism and realism, the singer reminds us that loving more than once does not make those feelings any less real. Every chapter matters, whether it is fireworks at sixteen, a calmer passion in mid-life, or the simple dream yet to come.

Behind the humor lies a tender message for divorced parents and their children. Weekends are shared, hearts may be bruised, yet everyone involved once did love deeply. Bénabar gently poses the recurring question: Which love counts more — the first or the most recent? The answer, he suggests, is that every love tells its own irreplaceable story. Even if you have not met “the one” yet, keep the elevator doors open; there is no age limit on soulmates, only new floors to explore.
