Et Alors ! Lyrics in English Shy'm

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Et Alors ! by Shy'm from French to English.
Tell me about those who dare
Who embody difference
Those who pose without being told
But the way they mean it
Tell me about personality
About originality, ideas
So what, what's it to you
If I don't like protocol
Fixed ideas, copy-pastes
So what, what's it to you
If I dare bow ties
And offbeat tomboy Derbies
So what!
Pa pa pa la pa pa
So what!
Pa pa pa la pa pa
Tell me about punk, rock
Street, pop or Bohemian
Whatever the scene
The addiction's the same
Tell me about creativity
About originality, ideas
About fashionistas
About fashionistas
About fashionistas
About fashionistas
So what, what's it to you
If I don't like protocol
Fixed ideas, copy-pastes
So what, what's it to you
If I dare bow ties
And offbeat tomboy Derbies
So what!
Pa pa pa la pa pa
So what!
Pa pa pa la pa pa
So what, what's it to you
If I don't like protocol
Fixed ideas, copy-pastes
So what, what's it to you
If I dare bow ties
And Franck Sorbier bustiers
So what!
Pa pa pa la pa pa
So what!
Pa pa pa la pa pa
Pa pa pa la pa pa

SONG MEANING

Shy'm’s “Et Alors !” is a vibrant shout of self-expression. Right from the first verse she salutes the people who dare: the ones who mix styles, break rules, and parade their originality without waiting for anyone’s approval. Each punchy refrain asks, “Et alors ? Qu’est-ce que ça te fait ?” – “So what? What does it matter to you?” – sweeping away old protocols, copy-paste ideas, and fashion dictates. With playful name-drops (bow ties, Derby shoes, haute-couture corsets) she turns the runway into a playground where creativity is king and conformity is out of style.

At its core the song is an anthem of freedom: musical, cultural, and personal. Shy'm hops between punk, rock, street, pop, and bohemian vibes to prove every universe can coexist when passion is the common thread. Her message is simple and contagious: celebrate what makes you different, experiment boldly, and let critics talk while you dance. If you’ve ever felt pressured to fit in, “Et Alors !” hands you a sparkling permission slip to be unapologetically you.
