This is song about a nasty breakup, where he's been out drinking away the pain.

Formidable = formidable, or great, and is used in the sense of terrific or amazing.
minable = pathetic, wretched (he sings fort minable, very pathetic, to rhyme with formidable)


lyrics in french:

Formidable, formidable
Tu étais formidable, j'étais fort minable,
Nous étions formidables,
Formidable,
Tu étais formidable,
J'étais fort minable,
Nous étions formidables.

Eh, l'bébé, oups : mademoiselle,
Je vais pas vous draguer, promis, juré,
J'suis célibataire et depuis hier - putain,
J'peux pas faire d'enfants, mais bon, c'est pas... eh, reviens !
5 minutes quoi, j't'ai pas insulté, j'suis poli, courtois,
Et un peu fort bourré et pour les mecs comme moi
Vous avez autre chose à faire, vous m'pourriez vu hier
Où j'étais

Formidable, formidable
Tu étais formidable, j'étais fort minable,
Nous étions formidables,
Formidable,
Tu étais formidable, j'étais fort minable,
Nous étions formidables.

Eh tu t'es regardé, tu t'crois beau
Parce que tu t'es marié ?!
Mais c'est qu'un anneau, mec, t'emballes pas,
Elle va t'larguer comme elles font chaque fois,
Et puis l'autre fille, tu lui en a parlé ?
Si tu veux je lui dis, comme ça c'est réglé,
Et au p'tit aussi, enfin si vous en avez,
Attends 3 ans, 7 ans et là vous verrez
Si c'est

Formidable, formidable,
Tu étais formidable, j'étais fort minable,
Nous étions formidables,
Formidable,
Tu étais formidable, et j'étais fort minable,
Nous étions formidables.

Et, petite, oh, pardon : petit,
Tu sais dans la vie y'a ni méchant ni gentil,
Si maman est chiante, c'est qu'elle a peur d'être mamie,
Si papa trompe maman, c'est parce que maman vieillit, tiens !
Pourquoi t'es tout rouge? Beh, reviens, gamin,
Et qu'est-ce que vous avez tous
A me regarder comme un singe, vous ?
Ah, oui, vous êtes saints, vous,
Bande de macaques !
Donnez moi un bébé singe, il sera

Formidable, formidable
Tu étais formidable, j'étais fort minable,
Nous étions formidables,
Formidable,
Tu étais formidable, j'étais fort minable,
Nous étions formidables

Another ironic thing about the French?

They have a reputation for being rude and arrogant. They also are extremely polite, as I learned when I tried to buy some bottled water from a street vendor in Paris, which my creaky never-very-good high school French. I spoke "French", he answered in English. So I said -- oh, you could tell from my bad accent that I am American.

He replied -- no, you didn't say "please." He was then embarrassed by his truthfulness, and tried to apologize, but I just agreed with him. Americans don't say "please" or "thank you."

It's true -- for all their rudeness and arrogance, it is always "s'il vous plait." And "bonjour, madame" and "au revoir, monsieur" when entering and leaving the small shops.

There are none so blind as those who will not see, ya? Or rather, oui?

trying to speak french as a foreign language in france is incredibly frustrating
no matter how much you've studied and practiced, your best efforts are met with, at best, disdain (no that's not a stereotype) - heh heh

Which is quite ironic, since few people are as careless regarding their accent and grammar when speaking English as the French. I'm having meetings or conference calls that include French participants every other week or so, and it can be quite painful, to the point of being fascinating (how can you sound so bad and yet not notice?).

oui oui, très important d'instruire des seins!

Oui! But only as long as it doesn't change to "freedom" like it did a few years ago.... (rolls eyes)

Depends on where you are. I'm pretty sure this is acceptable behavior in France.

They have dolphins in France?


Oui Oui

It's now time for my obligatory rude comment. "Excusez-moi, skit skit skit. Oui?"
