Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Kid by Eddy De Pretto from French to English.

You'll be manly, my kid

I don't want to see any tear slide

Down that heroic face

And that fully sculpted body

To reach fantastic heights

That only a daydream could top

You'll be manly, my kid

I don't want to see a single feminine ounce

Nor any airs or gestures that mean

And God knows they're still the worst

Coming to castrate you for a few vocal riffs

You'll be manly, my kid

Away from you, those delicate tactics

All those women on diets

Who feminize, knock you groggy

Pretending to be the faithful Messiah

Of that proud archaic model

You'll be manly, my kid

You'll hold in your hands the iconic legacy

Of Apollo, and like every boy

You'll run after a ball like a champ

And become my little historic hero

Abusive virility

You'll be manly, my kid

I want to see your pale skin darken with fights

And forge your mind

So none of those ladies

Steer you toward pink, harmful lands

For glorious lads

You'll be manly, my kid

You'll hoist your masculine power

To counter that sensitive essence

That your mother throws at us in the family

She tires your invulnerable Achilles

You'll be manly, my kid

You'll count your bills of abundance

That blossom beneath your feet

That you'll never meet

You'll spit shamelessly in every direction

You'll march proud and juiced

On flesh, on protein-fed nerves

You'll be manly, my kid

You'll shine through your physical strength

Your dominant look, your thug stance

And your triumphant sex

To despise the weak

You'll enjoy your rough spark

Abusive virility

Outro

But me, but me, I play with girls

But me, but me, I don't flaunt my d*ck

But me, but me, I'll speed up your wrinkles

So your words stop and vanish

But me, but me, I play with girls

But me, but me, I don't flaunt my d*ck

But me, but me, I'll speed up your wrinkles

So your words stop and vanish

SONG MEANING

Eddy de Pretto’s “Kid” is a punchy conversation between generations, wrapped in a hypnotic beat and razor-sharp lyrics. Throughout most of the song, a stern voice (think of a dad, a coach, or society itself) barks out orders: “You’ll be manly, my kid!” The checklist is long and exhausting — sculpted muscles, bruised knuckles, money, power, and zero tears. Line after line, this narrator glorifies a cartoon version of masculinity, turning it up to almost ridiculous levels so we can see how heavy and outdated the armor really is.

Then the music flips. Eddy steps forward with a simple “Mais moi…” (“But me…”) and tears the rulebook apart. He admits he likes playing with the girls, doesn’t worship his own ego, and plans to speed-age the old voice until it finally fades away. In other words, “Kid” is both a satire and a protest: a catchy, fearless call to ditch toxic expectations and let every kid decide their own way to shine.
