Y a d'abord eu Natasha
First there was Natasha
Mais avant, y avait Nathalie
But before that, there was Nathalie
Puis tout d'suite après, y a eu Laura
Then right after, there was Laura
Et ensuite, y a eu Aurélie
And after that, there was Aurélie
Évidemment, y a eu Emma
Obviously, there was Emma
Mon Emmanuelle et ma Sophie
My Emmanuelle and my Sophie
Et bien sûr y a eu Eva et Valérie
And of course there was Eva and Valérie
Mais mon amour, mon amour
But my love, my love
Tu sais qu'il n'y a que toi
You know there's only you
Et que je t'aimerai pour toujours
And that I'll love you forever
Oui, mon amour, mon amour
Yes, my love, my love
Tu sais qu'il n'y a que toi
You know there's only you
Et que je t'aimerai pour toujours
And that I'll love you forever
Mon amour, oui, c'est promis
My love, yeah, I promise
Oui, c'était la dernière fois
Yes, it was the last time
Et j'te promets que je t'ai tout dit
And I promise I've told you everything
Plus rien tu ne découvriras
You won't discover anything else
Plus aucune autre fille dans notre lit
No other girl in our bed
Elles m'ont mis dans de beaux draps
They landed me in a fine mess
Oui, bien sûr j'ai choisi
Yeah, sure I chose
Mais pas celles-là
But not those ones
Mon amour, mon amour
My love, my love
Tu sais qu'il n'y a que toi
You know there's only you
Et que je t'aimerai pour toujours
And that I'll love you forever
Non, c'est pas ce que tu crois
No, it's not what you think
Je sais, ça paraît bizarre
I know, it sounds weird
Non, c'est pas ma faute à moi
No, it's not my fault
Mais sans doute la faute au hasard
Probably just bad luck
Pourquoi tu t'en vas? C'était la dernière fois
Why are you leaving? It was the last time
C'était juste un coup d'un soir, ça comptait pas
It was just a one-night stand, it didn't count
T'façon, j'sais qu'au fond d'toi
Anyway, I know deep down
Tu les aimes bien, les connards
You kinda like a**holes
Mon amour, mon amour
My love, my love
Tu sais qu'il n'y a que toi
You know there's only you
Et que je t'aimerai pour toujours
And that I'll love you forever
Depuis que t'es partie, la vie n'a plus la même saveur
Since you left, life doesn't taste the same
Les draps n'ont plus la même odeur
The sheets don't smell the same
Depuis qu'j'fais la lessive
Since I've been doing the laundry
Mais qu'est-ce qu'il a de plus que moi?
But what does he have that I don't?
Est-ce qu'il en a une plus grosse que moi?
Does he have a bigger d*ck than me?
Vous l'faites combien de fois par mois?
How many times a month do you do it?
Et puis mes slips sont dans quelle armoire?
And which closet are my underwear in?
Mais mon amour, mon amour
But my love, my love
Tu sais qu'il n'y a que toi
You know there's only you
Et que je t'aimerai pour toujours
And that I'll love you forever
Oui, mon amour, mon amour
Yes, my love, my love
Tu sais qu'il n'y a que toi
You know there's only you
Et que je t'aimerai pour toujours
And that I'll love you forever
Mais pourquoi? Pourquoi?
But why? Why?
La vie est si injuste
Life is so unfair
Dis-moi, di-moi
Tell me, tell me
Ce qu'il a de plus
What he has
Que moi, dis-moi
That I don't, tell me
Ce que j'ai fait, au juste
What exactly I did
Pourquoi? Pourquoi?
Why? Why?
La vie est si injuste
Life is so unfair
Dis-moi, dis-moi
Tell me, tell me
Ce qu'il a de plus
What he has
Que moi, dis-moi
That I don't, tell me
Ce que j'ai fait, au juste
What exactly I did
Pourquoi? Pourquoi?
Why? Why?
La vie est si injuste
Life is so unfair

Mon Amour is Stromae’s witty take on the classic love-song format. Over an irresistibly danceable beat, the Belgian word-smith plays the role of a hopeless charmer who swears eternal devotion to his partner… right after naming a parade of past flings: Natasha, Nathalie, Laura, Aurélie, and many more. The contrast is hilarious and revealing: every sugary “je t’aimerai pour toujours” collides with yet another awkward confession, turning the song into a playful satire of serial infidelity and paper-thin excuses.

As the verses unfold, the narrator’s confidence crumbles into jealousy and insecurity. He pleads, bargains, and even nit-picks about laundry while wondering if his rival is “better” in every possible way. Beneath the humor lies a sharp commentary on fragile masculinity and the absurd lengths people go to save face after betraying trust. By mixing catchy melodies with tongue-in-cheek storytelling, Stromae invites listeners to dance, laugh, and reflect on how easily “mon amour” can lose its meaning when actions speak louder than words.
