The lyrics to «Beau la folie»:

[Verse number 1]
Three sisters, no brothers—luckily, God created friends
There are some things I wish I hadn't understood as I was growing up
Everyone in my family is crazy; there's nothing but drama in my family.
I haven't seen my older sister in ten years (behind me)
Grandpa destroyed my mom and my grandma before her (Fuck that nigga)
I never really loved him; I always just pretended at Christmas, oh
Grandma was far from perfect, yeah, but without that dysfunctional family
Maybe she would never have died of cancer, and maybe I could have gotten to know her a little better, oh
Guided by her beliefs to the ends of the earth
To save him naively on returning
When customs asked him to show his ID
She smiled while tearing up her papers (true story)

[Pre-chorus]
Normal people feel good in the machine
Grandma never really felt at home there (her place)
She walked naked screaming magic words
They say she was crazy—no kidding

[Refrain]
Madness is beautiful (she’s crazy), madness is beautiful (she’s crazy)
Beautiful madness (she's crazy), beautiful madness (she's crazy)
Beautiful madness (she's crazy), beautiful madness (she's crazy)
My grandmother was crazy, no kidding

[Verse number 2]
My head is full of drafts, my alarm is ringing, but I'm just too lazy to get back to sleep
This morning, I'm setting off on a trip around the world with a crazy girl who makes all her decisions on a whim
We'll go where we're told there's no chance, where the walls change, where the "ues-r" sing
Both of us, victims of our desires, will make love on the shoulder of the road
Damn, madness is beautiful—I'm finally not afraid of getting bored anymore
This girl is my vitamin D; I’ve been waiting for her like July
We love each other and we're drawn to each other—I just figured out why they say «magnets.»
But it's too good to be true—we're bound to end up hating each other.

[Pre-chorus]
Normal people feel good in the machine
Grandma never really felt at home there (her place)
She walked naked screaming magic words
They say she was crazy—no kidding

[Refrain]
Madness is beautiful
Beautiful madness, beautiful madness
Beautiful madness, beautiful madness
Beautiful madness, beautiful madness (she crazy)
Beautiful madness (she's crazy), beautiful madness (she's crazy)
Beautiful madness (she's crazy), beautiful madness (she's crazy)
Beautiful madness (she's crazy), beautiful madness (she's crazy)
Beautiful madness (she crazy)
My grandmother was crazy, no kidding

[Outro by Pascale Valentinelli]
There were six of us in the 4L. Plus the suitcases and all our stuff—my mom couldn’t see a thing. She was always asking us to keep an eye out so she could pass other cars and stuff. And whenever we came to a fork in the road, she’d say, «Come on, let’s follow the sun!» « If the sun was on the right, she’d turn… right. And every time she’d laugh and say, »We’re off to a new life, full of sunshine and full of… You’ll see, it’s going to be a wonderful new life we’re going to have.” I’d always daydream when she said there were new lives

The title appears in Jeannine, released on December 7, 2018. It’s one of the most personal tracks on the album, in which he reflects on his grandmother, her mother and the madness that plagues his family.

The chorus « Damn, that's crazy—and beautiful »transforms a family burden into something almost tender. The second verse expands on this idea with the image of a around-the-world trip with a crazy girl, between love and rushing headlong into the future.
