Below, I translated the lyrics of the song On S'attache by Christophe Maé from French to English.

I ain't got the style

Yet I'm not hostile

But the uniform suit ain't for me

I don't have the whole set

Of the ideal son-in-law

I'd always feel like I'm being spied on

Still not against love

I'd even be kinda for it

But that doesn't mean we should

Get attached and poison ourselves

With an arrow that fools us, we shouldn't

Get attached and lock ourselves up

But nothing stops us from giving in, no

Of a leader

I don't fit the profile

But on the pillow, I don't like being quizzed

I'm not James Bond

Surrounded by pretty blondes

I don't even envy guys who flit around

Still not against love

I'd rather wait my turn

But that doesn't mean we should

Get attached and poison ourselves

With an arrow that fools us, we shouldn't

Get attached and lock ourselves up

But nothing stops us from giving in, no

We leave nothing

Everyday life kills us, holds us

It hurts us

Nothing more normal

But you squeeze into the line

And you mustn't stick out

Every time you cut the line

But who are you?

You're not normal

We get attached and poison ourselves

With an arrow that fools us, we shouldn't, no

Get attached and lock ourselves up

But nothing stops us from giving in, no

Get attached and poison ourselves

With an arrow that fools us, we shouldn't, no

Get attached and lock ourselves up

But nothing stops us from giving in, no, no

From getting attached

Outro

No, I don't know how to do like that

After all, I'm just a man

No, I don't wanna live like

In Uncle Tom's cabin

Like Papa Dalton

End up in an album

After all, I'm just a man

SONG MEANING

Christophe Maé’s “On S’attache” is a playful confession from a free-spirited guy who loves love, but hates the idea of being boxed in. Throughout the song he insists he is not the perfect son-in-law, superhero, or slick suit-wearer. Instead, he values spontaneity and fears that traditional commitment can feel like a poison-tipped arrow. His refrain – “faut pas qu’on s’attache” – warns against tying each other down, even while he admits that passion and surrender still have their place.

At its heart, the track champions authenticity over expectation. Maé gently pokes fun at social norms, daily routines, and storybook romances, reminding us that it is okay to step outside the lines and set our own pace. The song’s upbeat, acoustic vibe mirrors its message: keep things light, be yourself, and let love breathe without cages.
