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.
