Comme Une Reine Lyrics in English Madame Monsieur

Home / Lyrics Translation / Madame Monsieur / Comme Une Reine

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Comme Une Reine by Madame Monsieur from French to English.

Verse 1

To avoid seeing your curves, your eyes are lowered

The mirror could shatter you into thousands of pieces

Bits of you scattered would shoot down the little self-esteem

That saves your skin when your heart is too heavy

The painful reflection's more violent than bullets

But look, you're the one aiming and that's not normal

And the lack of love between you and yourself is huge

I'd like you to realize you wear a diadem

You've got nothing to hide about your body and your curves

You've got nothing to lose and everything to gain

Babe, it's time to reconcile

Your uniqueness and your beauty

Chorus 1

You're gonna lead the dance

You're finally gonna tell yourself, 'I love you'

You've only one existence

You've only one chance

Act like a queen

Like, like a queen

Verse 2

It's not hate, it's art, it's the art of cheating

When you say your femininity's only good for f*cking

The shadow plan, the girl with extra pounds

Who gets called at the end of a party that's too boozy

You swallow your tears but the vase is gonna overflow

Someone will have to smash it to set you free

The lack of love between you and yourself is huge

I'd like you to realize you wear a diadem

You don't have to change, to wear the uniform

You've got nothing to lose and everything to gain

Babe, it's time to reconcile

Your uniqueness and your beauty

Chorus 2

You're gonna lead the dance

You're gonna love yourself like I love you

You've only one existence

You've only one chance

Act like a queen

Like, like a queen

SONG MEANING

“Comme Une Reine” is Madame Monsieur’s sparkling pep-talk for anyone who has ever frowned at their reflection. Over a smooth electro-pop groove, the duo speaks to a woman who lowers her eyes to dodge the mirror, feeling that her curves shatter her self-esteem. The verses describe that inner battle with biting honesty, then flip the script by reminding her she already wears an invisible diadem — a crown that appears the moment she decides to love herself.

The chorus is a rallying cry: “Tu n’as qu’une existence… comporte-toi comme une reine” (“You have only one life… act like a queen”). Instead of changing her body, she is urged to reconcile difference and beauty, lead the dance, and boldly say “I love you” to the person in the mirror. The result is an empowering hymn to self-acceptance, body positivity, and unapologetic confidence that invites every listener to lift their head, straighten their posture, and claim their rightful throne.
