Below, I translated the lyrics of the song 3ème Sexe by Indochine from French to English.

Feminine

Masculine

Feminine

In the, in the

In the street, charming outfits

Made up like my fiancé

Boy, girl, the look is stunning

Dressed like my fiancée

Long hair, dyed blond hair

Completely naked in an iron box

He's pretty, he's handsome, decried

The offended but I don't care

I don't want to see her naked

I don't want to see him naked

And I love that long-haired girl

And that boy who could say no

And we hold hands

A girl in masculine

A boy in feminine

Faces in golden hair

Who forget their virtue

But it's not true

That they look like a conquistador

Asexual once undressed

Who to believe when you see them like that

Exciting all the little girls

Why don't we believe like that anymore

Isolated in an almost-island body

I don't want to see her

I don't want to see her naked

I don't want to see her

I don't want to see her naked

And we hold hands

A boy in feminine

A girl in masculine

And we hold hands

A boy in feminine

A girl in masculine

Long dresses for all the boys

Dressed like my fiancée

For girls with no counterfeit

Made up like my fiancé

The big shock for the most vicious

The witch hunt is coming soon

Ambiguous down to the depths of the eyes

The return of Jupiter

And I love that long-haired girl

And that boy who could say no

I don't want to see her naked

I don't want to see him naked

We hold hands

And we hold hands

Boys in the feminine

Girls in the masculine

We hold hands

And we hold hands

Boys in the feminine

Girls in the masculine

SONG MEANING

Indochine’s “3ème Sexe” is a vibrant anthem celebrating the freedom to blur the lines between “feminine” and “masculine.” The lyrics paint Parisian streets filled with dazzling outfits, swapped wardrobes, bold makeup, and golden hair that refuse to fit tidy boxes. Girls sport tux-like suits, boys twirl in flowing dresses, and everyone walks hand in hand. Rather than focusing on bodies or labels, the song applauds the attitude: confidence, playfulness, and the right to say yes or no on your own terms.

Underneath the catchy synth-pop beat lies a message of liberation. “3ème Sexe” invites listeners to imagine a “third sex” where identity is fluid, attraction is diverse, and authenticity beats convention. By spotlighting androgyny and shared humanity, Indochine pushes back against judgment, witch hunts, and outdated expectations. The chorus of holding hands repeats like a friendly chant, reminding us that connection matters more than categories and that true style is being unapologetically yourself.
