Enfant De Lyrics in English Pierre de Maere

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Enfant De by Pierre de Maere from French to English.
My dad loves soccer, yells, go Reds
In his head he's asleep, let's not wake him up
My mom, no doubt, dreams of a Boy Scout
Captain aboard the Santa María
I'd like to know the law of feelings
Hearts on fire burn in winter
It makes no sense, love's fascinating
Makes the world spin upside down
I'm the child of the toreador and Saint Mary
Will you give me death or some meaning to my life
My mom took up soccer, for her captain
Who repays her well, carried by the Seine
My dad on a riverboat makes his beauty dream
Who says nothing anymore, lulled by the sky, so
I'd like to know the law of feelings
Hearts on fire burn in winter
It makes no sense, love's fascinating
Makes the world spin upside down
I'm the child of the toreador and Saint Mary
Will you give me death or some meaning to my life
I'm the child of the toreador and Saint Mary
Will you give me death
I'm looking for a girl from another galaxy
Who could make me love everything and its opposite
I'm looking for a girl from another galaxy
Who could make me love everything and its opposite
I'm the child of the toreador and Saint Mary
Will you give me death or some meaning to my life
I'm looking for a girl from another galaxy
I'm the child of the toreador and Saint Mary
I'm looking for a girl from another galaxy
Will you give me death
I'm looking for a girl from another galaxy
Who could make me love everything and its opposite
I'm looking for a girl from another galaxy
Who could make me love everything and its opposite

SONG MEANING

Pierre de Maere’s “Enfant De” is a playful yet introspective pop gem that tackles the big question of identity: what happens when you are born between two worlds that do not seem to match? The singer paints his parents in vivid, almost cartoonish contrasts. Dad is a loud football fanatic shouting “Allez les rouges,” while Mom dreams of a Boy-Scout captain steering the legendary Santa María. Caught between stadium chants and high-seas fantasies, the narrator wonders about “la loi des sentiments,” the mysterious rules of the heart that make “les cœurs en feu brûler en hiver.” Love, it seems, spins the whole planet upside down and leaves him asking whether life will grant him meaning or bring him to ruin.

Stuck with the dramatic title “l’enfant du toréador et de la Sainte Marie,” he feels both heroic and holy yet fully misunderstood. As his parents amusingly swap passions—Mom joins the football craze while Dad cruises the Seine—he realizes that contradictions define his world. So he sets off on a cosmic quest for “une fille d’une autre galaxie,” a girl so extraordinary she can make him love “tout et son contraire,” everything and its opposite. The song becomes a sparkling anthem for anyone who has ever felt torn between multiple selves and still dares to believe that love, however puzzling, might just help bring it all together.
