Ton Mec Lyrics in English Kyo

Home / Lyrics Translation / Kyo / Ton Mec

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Ton Mec by Kyo from French to English.

He makes you lose footing

Your head and pedals, your stranger is a stone in

the pond of passing days

From his perfectly shaped lips

flow bookish accents

Makes you think he'd do everything, or almost, better than

your boyfriend

Fresh like a new high school

Like the mirror of first times

Your stranger spotted you in the

color you chose, in the lightest fabrics

in your nymphet uniform

the one that a few years ago would've made him capsize

your boyfriend

Flowers filling the barrel

He's got a quick trigger

Your stranger reinvents you in the halogen of his desire

He's the man of superlatives

not the guy for month-ends

Your stranger doesn't talk numbers or sports on Sunday night

So, smile in your eyes, tears on your lips

You give him a piece of you, you scrap your boyfriend's perks

your boyfriend

But at night, the suits

find their worn-out hangers again

and the taste of bitterness from

cheap light in his bad habits

You watch your coast guard

only then you realize your boyfriend is the stranger

of another

your boyfriend

SONG MEANING

“Ton Mec” (which means “Your Guy”) unfolds like a short film about temptation and illusion.

In the verses we meet an enigmatic stranger who sweeps the heroine off her feet: he speaks with bookish elegance, notices every color she wears, and paints her as a brand-new version of herself. Next to his poetic charm, ton mec—her steady boyfriend—feels suddenly dull and predictable. Seduced by this newcomer who avoids talk of bills and Sunday sports, she lets the everyday rules blur, offering him a stolen piece of her heart.

Yet when night falls and the costumes go back on their hangers, the gloss fades. Under cheap lighting the stranger’s “better-than-everyone” persona cracks, and she spots her true lighthouse: the loyal partner she almost forgot. The song’s final twist reveals that her boyfriend might be another woman’s irresistible unknown, turning the mirror on the cycle of desire. Kyo’s lyrics remind us that the grass often looks greener, but illusions can crumble as quickly as they appear.
