Qui A Le Droit Lyrics in English Kids United

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Qui A Le Droit by Kids United from French to English.
I was told: Don't ask too many questions
You know kid, life answers you
What's the point of wanting to know everything
Look up and see what you can see
I was told: You gotta listen to your dad
Mine said nothing when he took off
Mom told me you're too small to understand
And I grew up with a spot to fill
Who's got the right, who's got the right
Who's got the right to do that
To a kid who really believes
What the grown-ups say?
We spend our lives saying thanks
Thanks to whom, to what
Making it rain or shine
For kids we're lying to
I was told that all men are the same
There are several gods, but only one sun
Yeah but the sun either shines or it burns
You die of thirst or you drink bubbles
I'm sure they've told you stuff too
Great stories, yeah right, just bullsh*t
So now we're out on the road
With our fears, our anxiety and our doubts
Who's got the right, who's got the right
Who's got the right to do that
For kids who really believe
What the grown-ups say?
We spend our lives saying thanks
Thanks to whom, to what
Making it rain or shine
For kids we're lying to

SONG MEANING

Have you ever felt puzzled by the things grown-ups say? “Qui A Le Droit” lets us step into that very feeling. Sung by Kids United, the track tells the story of a child who keeps hearing easy answers: Don’t ask too many questions, listen to your father, life will explain everything. Yet real life turns out messier—the father leaves, adults dodge the truth, and the once-comforting sunshine can either warm or burn. The repeated cry “Qui a le droit ?” (Who has the right?) becomes a powerful spotlight on broken promises and the moment a child realizes that adults are not always the heroes they claim to be.

Behind its catchy melody, the song is a heartfelt plea for honesty and kindness. It reminds us that children take words seriously, build their dreams on them, and feel deeply hurt when those words collapse. By asking who has the right to shatter a child’s trust, Kids United invite every listener—young or old—to protect innocence, question empty clichés, and choose sincerity over convenient half-truths. The result is both a sing-along anthem and a thoughtful lesson about growing up without losing compassion.
