    LYRICS (FR)
    [Couplet 1]
    Il est l'heure, fini l'heure de danser
    Danse, t'inquiète pas tu vas danser
    Balance-toi, mais tu vas te faire balancer
    Défonce-toi, mais tu vas te faire défoncer
    [Refrain]
    Tu aimerais faire ta fête
    Ta mère veut te la faire aussi, ta fête
    Le juge voudrait te faire ta fête
    Tout le monde te fera aussi ta fête
    [Couplet 2]
    Tu sors trop, du moins c'est ce qu'ils disent
    Ils parlent trop, c'est pourquoi tes oreilles sifflent
    À qui la faute ? C'est la faute à autrui, hein ?
    C'est les autres, toi tu n'as qu'une seule envie
    [Refrain]
    Tu aimerais faire ta fête
    Ta mère veut te la faire aussi, ta fête
    Le juge voudrait te faire ta fête
    Tout le monde te fera aussi ta fête
    [Outro]
    Tu aimerais faire ta fête
    Ta mère veut te la faire aussi, ta fête
    Le juge voudrait te faire ta fête
    Tout le monde te fera aussi ta fête

    I see a lot of English speaking people here, I would like to explain the title of the song. In French we have this expression, "faire la fête à quelqu'un". If you translate it literally, it would be something like "we're gonna make a party for someone", which sounds positive, but it means something negative. It means you're going to have a fight with that person, and you're going to destroy that person. And I like it because it's exactly what there is in the clip. Some people have suits, they're at a party, but they are here to watch someone be beaten down. So people come to enjoy the party, while people "lui font sa fête", "are making a party" for the man in the middle.

    For those looking for a meaning / interpretation of the video, here it is:
    The man is shot into life, a literal maze where random obstacles and antagonists appear at every corner. Some are actually random (the boxer dude and the knife thrower), others are named, like the Court Judge (the guy with the huge gavel, the hammer that judges use). Then there's your mother, the woman with the rolling pin (the wooden stick for kneading dough), who can beat you as she might often disagree with your life choices, but still save your life when you need her to (keeps you from falling, and hugs you). There's then the wife, the bride with the white gown who ties you by your feet (the "getting hitched ties you down" metaphor), and beats you, but is also passionate and loving. Then if you chose to run away from all these people, and from that maze, you only end up in a much larger maze, with more obstacles and dangers, and this time you're alone.
    Hope you like it better now that it's explained. Cheers!

      omg I actually understood it from the start but am glad others anderstood it as well ! Actually the first guy is a bank director, it's an allusion to the financial problems one can encounter in life. The other is a street fighter.

    One of the best artists of the decade, he didn't only make good music, he made music that had meaning, that touched every single one of us, with beautifully written lyrics, and a great natural voice. I want more of these kinds of artists in this day and age, or at least I want them to be more popular than the cookie-cutter pop that we're all accustomed to. Music has potential to be greater than it is, and Stromae is full proof of it.

    Life is a game of football (or soccer if you're not British) and you're the ball. Everybody is trying to get you, take control over you and kick you and stuff. The judge will try to (guy with the hammer), your mother will (woman with rolling pin), your wife will (woman in wedding clothes.). Everything is just so confusing and makes you feel lost as if you're in a maze. And once you think you've escaped all of it, it turns out that it's just the way everything is.
    or it isn't metaphorical and this is a literal video about a guy on a football pitch getting fucked up by cosplayers.
    Either one fits.

    This is what I think the video means:
    The Runner: Symbolizes you, the person, who has been shot out into the world (the arena) and has started life (the maze).
    I believe that all the people that runner encounters symbolizes all the people in your life, parents, teachers, and even the law.
    I also believe that the maze symbolizes all the responsibilities towards said people, teachers, parents, etc.
    And once that runner finally reaches the end, he realizes there is no end. This symbolizes that there is no end to all the responsibilities in life and you just have to deal/live with it.

    • @elmstump

      Also what role I think Stromae plays is, Life itself. As if he controls the whole game, which he does in this whole video. You can see that Stromae walks past all the people the runner encounters. What I think this means that that he is preparing all of them for the runner. What I think this means is that life is not easy. And life is all about the hardships and that life is just a game.

    People in the crowd represent souls waiting to be chosen in the lottery of life with the desire to win it. They are not shouting at him, they are shouting for him.
    The moment he gets chosen and shot out into the field, he has been born, in the seemingly simple world (Green grass all around), but as soon as he "hatches", that starts changing. World is still a green field, proven by the grass on top of the concrete walls built by humanity that represent the labyrinth of life.
    Searching for his purpose while running through the maze, he firstly encounters problems with his friend, security guard in a party, the figure of law, his mother (which is the only one that gets a chance at killing him, but instead saves him and hugs him) and finally, his wife.
    He is in a race against time for his own life. Upon starting to think outside the box (climbing the walls of the maze) he finds there is a way for him to escape time, and death itself, live eternally.
    He manages to do so, getting out of the Arena, the circle of life where people are born to die. The patch of grass outside of the Arena looks promising, but as soon as he gets there, he can see that by cheating death, he has prolonged his life outside of the system, but that the world is still the same - endless ocean of mazes.
    Because that's what life is, and it is beautiful, but people can make it even better.

    I think the clip works like this:
    Stromae is a kind of master, the one who tells you what to do. A kind of King or God of you prefer. The guy is himself. He is thrown at the arena, which probably represents the prison of responsabilities. And the guy is trying to get rid of his responsabilities and go to Liberty. For the characters:
    *-The Boxer*: He is probably the guy who is stronger than you, you know that guy who will stop you from doing anything, or who does it better than you. He is trying to stop you from doing what you want.
    *-The Knife-Thrower*: He is probably the provisor or the teacher, and the knifes are bad grades or problems.
    *-The Judge*: I think the Judge is Law itself. The hammer represents the hammer of the judge, obviously. And the fact that the hammer is really strong probably refers to the fact that the hammer of the judge is quite small, but that sound is stronger than anything in this planet.
    *-The Woman*: It's probably the parents. No, not the mother, the parents. When she is beating him, she is representing the Father, who doesn't know how to deal with his kid except by beating him. When she catches him and saves him then hugs him, it refers to the Mother who ends up saving you when your Father is beating you. But then, the Mother starts to beat you too, and no parent can save you then. You decide to ask help to:
    *-The Wife*: She is your Wife. And and the chain refers to the fact that Wedding creates a sort of chain between you and her so you will never leave her. She starts keeping you with her, but with Love, as you can see when she kisses him.
    At the end, he ends up escaping his responsabilities and gets to Liberty for ever. But then he realizes there is NO liberty in this world. The only thing he got to, is his emotions, the biggest labyrinth of the world.
    EDIT: Stromae actually has a video that explains it. And that is sooooooooo far from what I actually thought. You can find the video in a channel called "Dapastudio".

      Mokujin I think you are taking it too literally. Especially with "The Woman". Yes, I agree it referes to parents and not just mother, but that beating, saving him from fall and then beating him up again, might be just preparing for life, scolding him, saving him and standing beside him when he is down, then just pushing him to be "someone" or just to be useful.
      "The Wife" might not be just wife or bride that refers to a wedding and so on... just a woman, a lover with whom you have fight, kiss, to whom you have some connection

    I have an explanation for the concept of this video. The crowds you see in the beginning are people yet to be born, which in this video a guy does get "born" by getting shot out of a ball into the field of life. In the very beginning, the field is simple, but soon he will realize life is a maze filled with obstacles - while Stromae, the court judge, watches over him. He finds out that everyone is gonna get to him, just as some situations really get a hold of you in real life. Once he passes the many obstacles and gets past the closing entrance, he arrives at a bigger and more complex maze - and he'll learn that life is just the first maze he'll have to go through.

      +Henry Ngo +Stazz Medouze Your explanation is very clever. And it's spot on on most of it. Just that the Court Judge isn't Stromae, but the guy with the huge gavel (the wooden hammer that judges use).
      So there was the mother (the one with the rolling pin (the baton used for kneading dough)), who can beat the shit out of you, but saves you when you need it.
      Then there's the bride, who catches him by his feet (the "getting hitched ties you down" metaphor), then beats you but is still passionate and loving towards you.
      And I think the ending mean that if you run from all these people, the Judge (representing society? The System?), your parents, your wife, you still end up in a larger maze, alone, with probably a lot more obstacles to come.
      Cheers!

    I was born in Spain but my whole family is from Ecuador. I am a lover of the music of Stromae, he is a complete artist and the most important of this time. I love the versatility and creativity of him that he puts into his songs. Let's say that the first time I met Stromae was for Alors on danse but there I didn't know who sang it and in what language but I still loved this song. Of course, the first time I saw the name Stromae was because of this song that you reacted to Ta fête, that's why I was interested in its visual and musical concept but not as much as I hear it now and discovering that Stromae sang the Hit Alors on Danse every time captivates me more. Now I want to focus more on his music since Stromae is one of my aspirations since I want to learn French because this summer I went to Paris since I always wanted to go (well it's the second time I went) I was amazed by the city that I would return to again and this time know some French (I know that Stromae is Belgian, but the French language is one of the most beautiful languages ​​I have heard, although almost all my life I have been fascinated with French culture such as cinema) and also an inspiration to create music. And it gives me joy that Stromae in his new album mentions Latin American music as his inspiration, especially Andean music, which is one of my favorite genres and from which my father instilled in me to have a taste for music since I grew up not only with Spanish music but also mostly Latin American. I hope you continue to learn about the music of a great like Stromae. Regards 👋 💕
    Je suis né en Espagne mais toute ma famille est originaire d'Equateur. Je suis un amoureux de la musique de Stromae, c'est un artiste complet et le plus important de cette époque. J'aime sa versatilité et la créativité qu'il met dans ses chansons. Disons que la première fois que j'ai rencontré Stromae c'était pour Alors on danse mais là je ne savais pas qui la chantait et dans quelle langue mais j'adorais quand même cette chanson. Bien sûr, la première fois que j'ai vu le nom de Stromae c'était à cause de cette chanson que tu as réagi à Ta fête, c'est pour ça que je me suis intéressé à son concept visuel et musical mais pas autant que je l'entends maintenant et en découvrant que Stromae chantait le Hit Alors sur Danse chaque fois m'envoûte plus. Maintenant je veux me concentrer davantage sur sa musique puisque Stromae est une de mes aspirations puisque je veux apprendre le français car cet été je suis allé à Paris puisque j'ai toujours voulu y aller (enfin c'est la deuxième fois J'y suis allé) J'ai été émerveillé par la ville dans laquelle je reviendrais et cette fois je connais un peu le français (je sais que Stromae est belge, mais la langue française est l'une des plus belles langues que j'ai entendues, même si presque tous mes vie, j'ai été fasciné par la culture française comme le cinéma) et aussi une source d'inspiration pour créer de la musique. Et cela me réjouit que Stromae dans son nouvel album mentionne la musique latino-américaine comme son inspiration, en particulier la musique andine, qui est l'un de mes genres préférés et à partir de laquelle mon père m'a inculqué le goût de la musique depuis que j'ai grandi non seulement avec de la musique espagnole mais aussi surtout latino-américaine. J'espère que vous continuerez à en apprendre davantage sur la musique d'un grand comme Stromae. Cordialement 👋 💕

    In the 3-minute clip, the protagonist is a metaphor of a man trying to escape his responsibilities, but all he achieves is to put it off for a while. Stromae is the master of ceremonies, the machiavellian puppet master who enjoys watching the poor man trying to escape the inevitable.

      Stromae's character could be either an allegory for society or alcohol problems. Or maybe both. There's a lot genius in that, imo. Especially since the stade he evades to in the end isn't as structured or as layered as the previous one. It's messy and warped. Kind of like the vision of an alcoholic.

    Someone said once that “you don't just ‘hear’ Stromae when his song is playing on the radio. You listen. And I really think that's true. I have the privilege to speak French fluently, too, and it’s amazing how much nuance can be captured within words that look like something on the surface and turn out to mean something completely different beneath it.

    Moi je vois ce clip de cette manière :
    Stromae dans ce clip est semblable à une entité toute puissante. Il porte un micro comme un sceptre, représentatif de l'importance de sa parole. C'est lui qui donne le signal au début.
    Les spectateurs tous habillés pareils (smoking et chapeau-melon) me font penser aux âmes (ou anges, ou peu importe) qui assistent à la vie sur Terre.
    Quand l'un d'eux est tiré en arrière, puis projeté dans l'arène, cela symbolise la naissance (le cocon représentant le ventre de la mère, le fœtus ou l'ovule). L'homme apparaît dans une sorte de pyjama (qui indique sont état d'enfant). On a l'impression qu'il s'éveille, il regarde autour de lui.
    L'arène qui était auparavant vide, se forme petit à petit en une sorte de labyrinthe géant et infranchissable, signe de l'apparition petit à petit de nos souci, problèmes, questionnement, limites, droits, lorsque nous sommes enfant. Il se met alors à courir, à la recherche de sa "liberté" pourrait-on dire.
    Les différents personnages qu'il rencontre représentent donc les principales épreuves auquel il sera soumis. Je n'avais pas trop d'idée pour les 2 premiers, mais Wikipédia à l'air d'avoir la réponse :
    - Le premier (le boxeur) est donc le rival. C'est celui que l'on voit comme notre "ennemi juré". Celui qui nous faisait tout le temps *chier* à l'école. Celui que l'on hait, et qui cherche sans cesse à nous provoquer (comme dans le clip).
    - Le deuxième (le lanceur de couteau) est le juge. C'est selon moi celui qui représente la "société" dans laquelle nous vivons. Tous les professeurs de notre école étant enfant, le gouvernement et ses lois, les limites et droits qui nous sont accordés. Si on les franchis on est punis. Le lancé de couteau représentant la lame de la sentence.
    - Pour le troisième c'est assez incertain. Celui avec le marteau à l'air d'être le représentant de ton supérieur. Ton patron, qui te rabaisse, t'écrase, et te met à sa merci au bout de son marteau. Pour celui là je ne suis as sûr, donc si quelqu'un à une meilleure explication ...
    - Ensuite pour la quatrième c'est assez évident. C'est la mère avec son rouleau à pâtisserie. Elle n'est pas seulement la mère maternelle, mais elle représente les parents dans leur ensemble. Cherchant à éduquer leur enfant, à le punir pour ses fautes, mais à le protéger également. C'est pour cela qu'après l'avoir mis au bord du gouffre, elle le rattrape et le serre dans ses bras. Ensuite elle le repousse dans le "droit chemin" et le poursuit.
    - La dernière est également très représentative. C'est la compagne, la copine, l'amoureuse, enfin celle qui partage sa vie sentimentale. La robe de mariée est emblématique. Tout autant que la chaîne qu'elle lui envoie dont le bout est un "anneau". Pas besoin d'expliquer l'image du mariage et de ses contraintes, de l'emprise qu'elle a sur lui, mais sans oublier que c'est par amour (d'ou le baiser qu'elle lui donne).
    Arrive le moment ou il échappe à ses poursuivants et qu'il sort de l'arène pour se retrouver ... devant un nouveau labyrinthe bien plus imposant. L'image est pour moi celle de l'enfant, qui après être passé par toutes les périodes de l'enfance et l'adolescence, devient adulte et sort du cocon familial pour entrer dans la vie active et faire son chemin tout seul, parmi les épreuves bien plus dures que sont celles de la vie.
    Stromae reste présent durant tout le clip au sein même du labyrinthe. Sans vouloir y insérer un quelconque avis religieux, cela me fait penser à Dieu qui est sans cesse parmi nous durant toutes nos épreuves.
    Voilà, c'était un gros pavé pour résumer mon avis. =)

    I think this video is about someone running away from the problems in his life rather than confronting them only to find out that it has ended him up in an even worse place. Each person that attacks him is someone in his life he ran away from.
    Boxer = Friends
    Knife Thrower = Teachers, hence him sitting at a desk
    Hammer Guy = Father
    Rolling Pin = Mother
    Chain = Wife, hence the veil and kiss

    if you want to understand the song... it says "you want to party, your mom wants to do your party, the judge wants to do your party" so the first one is literal, but the second and third sentence is sarcasm. Doing the party of someone means to basically to punish him, when people use this expression it's like a joke meaning you're gonna get it

    I've seen all the comments about the meaning of this clip, saying that the guy was running to escape from death, trying to find the sense of life etc. Stromae didn't gave any official explanation but you must know that this song is way older than the videoclip. And the videoclip was released (on purpose) right at the beginning of the FIFA world cup in Brasil, which was really controversial due to the disastrous conditions that Brazilians had to deal with and the cost of hosting the world cup.
    If you watch closely, the guy who was picked up falls as a ball on what is obviously a soccer field (just look at the markings). The walls all around him are the walls of the football stadium where the supporters are yelling at him. The maze that replaces the soccer field and all the ennemies the player has to face probably refer to the circus games in the ancient Rome and to the proverb 'Panem et Circenses' (Bread and Games), which means "give the people what they want to make them forget what's really going on outside". And indeed, once the player finally makes it to get out of the maze, he stands in front of another maze, way bigger, that looks exactly like the Brazilian favelas, showing that once the game is over, everything comes back to what it was.
    I'm not saying that all your explanations aren't good but I think it isn't a coincidence that he released this videoclip the day Belgium played it's first match at the world cup. He did it of course because this song was the official song of the Belgian team for the world cup 2014 but also to make the supporters think about what's behind the business.
    Greetings from Brussels!

      In my opinion, the maze is a huge métaphor of the life, but when it's in the stadium , it's just a sport or a game like football, but when "the human ball" get out of the stadium, he sees that the entire world is just a huge maze, it's not just a game , it's the life. I do not think he wanted to denounce brazil, the maze is just a metaphor of the life, not of the favelas. But what you said is really interesting but it doesn't correspond to the lyrics of the song, so Stromae will not doing something like this, this to much incoherent

There isn't a single explanation to this clip, this explanation was wright by someone who probably understand the lyrics way better than you ( notice that you can't translate french to english word by word, so the subtitles are quite imprecise due to the complexity of stromae's lyrics ) and I think it's absolutely not humouristic, it's one of the most coherent explanations ( labyrinth = life is a good too ).

    Second guy-represents the school
    Third guy-represents your job
    The next lady-your mother
    And the last woman-your wife

    The clip give me the impression that the first maze is the one of infant/teen age life, when you feel that you grow up in a enclosed life where everybody see you and you are in the mercy of adults and peers around you (parents, teacher, bullies).
    Then, as you think the battle is finally over because you're an adult now, you realise that you are just in the beginning of a new, vast and not enclosed maze, still unknown.

    @averroes238 3 роки тому +26

    I would like to add the idea that the maze is probably his own mind. Just as in our lives, the society can't see our personal inner struggles, and so for the character, his fights are always enclosed by the walls, unwatchable by the crowds. The crowd never sees how hard it is for him to deal with the fighters, how hard it was to dodge the knives and hammers or run faster. What they can see is usually the man running away for apparently no reason. The crowd screams for "ta fête" (your fight in this context) as if they didn't care for the winner or the right one, but just for the fight itself. Also it is interesting to point that our protagonist used to be just a regular crowd member that wanted a "fête" like anyone else. It suggests that maybe other peoples in the crowd struggles inside their minds as well and would have the same fighting challenges if they were chosen to be the entertainer.
    This song was chosen as the theme of Belgium for the World Cup. I guess the idea was to present Belgium as a "grown" team. Belgium used to be an irrelevant team during most of World Cup's history (so it is for the biggest part of world's population, our crowd in this case). People would place their bets on Germany, France, Brazil, Argentina and others, but never on Belgium. But in the past decade, Belgium got a really good generation of players. They no longer are those teams that are going to the World Cup just for the fun of playing, but they can now be seen as potential winners. Now there will be far countries like Brazil or Argentina (random boxing and knife dudes), or maybe historically/politically/culturally closer countries (mother with the roulette and and bride) trying to destroy them. And the people watching don't really care, they want the match, the game, the fight.
