Below, I translated the lyrics of the song J'accuse Mon Père by Mozart L'Opéra Rock from French to English.

My mistakes, my pains

My modesty, my regrets

But what's the point

You don't care

You scrap it all in one go

You sweep it all away with one swipe

My memory, my story, no regard

My past that you bury

Tomorrow you'll say

Why didn't I see the traps

Swept up in the vile carousel

Of grudges, of fears, of sorrows

At the heart of bitter love

Dark nights

Setbacks for glory

Fleeting pleasures

I keep preaching in the desert

How can I stay quiet

The earth spins like men do

Repeating once more the mistakes

Of our fathers

We always bite the same apple

And the serpent dances while we get stuck

We get stuck

In yesterday's mistakes

To grow, to fulfill yourself

And step out of the age-old circle

In my shadow, the rubble

Of dark days, you'll find the light

It's my flaws that light your way

How can I stay quiet

The earth spins like men do

Repeating once more the mistakes

Of our fathers

We always bite the same apple

And the serpent dances while we get stuck

We get stuck

In yesterday's mistakes

I accuse my father

The earth spins like men do

We're the sum of mistakes

Of our fathers

We always bite the same apple

And the serpent dances while we get stuck

The earth spins around men

We must undo what we are

By embracing our fathers

SONG MEANING

J’accuse Mon Père is a powerful confession where the singer lists his faults, fears, and fleeting pleasures only to realize that they all trace back to one source: the legacy of his father. Each line feels like turning the pages of a family diary filled with regret. He pictures humanity spinning in circles, biting the same forbidden apple while the serpent of temptation dances nearby. The song captures the frustration of seeing history repeat itself and the shock of recognizing our parents’ flaws alive within us.

Yet, beneath the blame lies a spark of hope. By exposing the shadows of past generations, the singer invites us to step out of the “secular roundabout,” confront inherited mistakes, and transform them into light. In other words, we can only grow, fulfill ourselves, and break the cycle when we accept both the darkness and the wisdom handed down to us. The track is a dramatic reminder that although we are the sum of our fathers’ errors, we also hold the power to rewrite the next chapter.
