Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Mais Les Enfants by Oldelaf from French to English.

There's moms with dads

There's dads with moms

There's moms with moms

There's dads with dads

There's dads with two moms

There's moms with no dad

There's moms sometimes we don't know

There's dads we'd rather not

Whether it's windy or rainy

They do everything they can

They still doubt

That their kids love them

But kids, it's only with idiots

That they're unhappy

But kids, it's only with idiots

That they're unhappy

There's moms who work like dads

Like dads but don't earn as much

There's dads who find it sad

But do everything so it won't change

There's dads who drive like moms

There's moms who hate being told that

There's moms who, to prove it's not so

Play the dads and crash

Whether it's windy or rainy

They do everything they can

They still doubt

That their kids love them

But kids, it's only with idiots

That they're unhappy

But kids, it's only with idiots

That they're unhappy

And then one day

The kids are grown

And the parents didn't see that coming

And they wait their turn of course

To play mom and dad

And on that day, the kids of this world

Think about their mom and dad again

Telling themselves that yeah, in the end

They weren't that bad after all

But kids, it's only with idiots

That they're unhappy

But kids, it's only with idiots

That they're unhappy

But kids, it's only with idiots

That they're unhappy

But kids, it's only with idiots

That they're unhappy

SONG MEANING

Mais Les Enfants is Oldelaf’s playful ode to the many shapes a family can take. The verses parade a lively roll-call of households – mom and dad, two moms, two dads, single parents, parents who are unsure of themselves – while poking fun at lingering stereotypes like pay gaps and “who drives better.” Through this humorous catalog, Oldelaf slips in a gentle reminder: parents may fret in the rain and doubt their worth, yet children thrive as long as the grown-ups are kind.

The chorus nails the heart of the song: “Les enfants, y’a qu’avec les cons qu’ils sont malheureux.” In other words, kids are only unhappy when the adults around them act like fools. By the final verse, those kids have grown up and realize their own parents were “not so bad after all,” closing the circle with warmth and forgiveness. Packed with wit, social commentary, and a big dose of tenderness, this tune celebrates love over labels and reassures every anxious parent that what matters most is not the family’s format but the love inside it.
