S'Endormir Comme D'Habitude Lyrics in English by Dalida
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song S'Endormir Comme D'Habitude by Dalida from Italian to English.
Ah, s'endormir comme d'habitude
Ah, falling asleep as usual
Et s'éveiller le lendemain
And waking up the next day
Sous dix degrés de latitude
Under ten degrees latitude
Avec du soleil plein les mains
With sunshine in my hands
À l'abri d'un cocotier
Sheltered by a coconut tree
Je dormirai sur le dos
I'll sleep on my back
À quoi sert de travailler
What's the point of working
Quand il fait si beau
When it's so beautiful
Tout le long de la journée
All day long
Étant donné la chaleur
Given the heat
Je n'aurai pour me baigner
I'll only have to bathe
Qu'un collier de fleurs
But a necklace of flowers
Ah, s'endormir comme d'habitude
Ah, falling asleep as usual
Et s'éveiller le lendemain
And waking up the next day
Sous dix degrés de latitude
Under ten degrees latitude
Avec le paradis pour rien
With paradise for free
Un youkoulili par-ci
A ukulele here
Un petit bateau par-là
A little boat there
Et le chant des bengalis
And the song of the bengalis
Par dessus tout ça
On top of all that
Et pourquoi pas des beaux yeux
And why not beautiful eyes
Qui se poseraient sur toi
That would rest upon you
Ça doit être merveilleux
It must be wonderful
De s'aimer là-bas
To love each other there
Mais s'endormir comme d'habitude
But falling asleep as usual
Toute petite entre tes bras
So small in your arms
Heureuse comme d'habitude
Happy as usual
C'est encore ma plus belle joie
It's still my greatest joy
Ah, s'endormir comme d'habitude
Ah, falling asleep as usual
Ah, s'endormir comme d'habitude
Ah, falling asleep as usual
Ah, s'endormir comme d'habitude
Ah, falling asleep as usual

Did you like this lyrics translation?
merveilleux — marvelous / wonderful
Merveilleux means 'marvelous' or 'wonderful'. It's a beautiful and evocative adjective that expresses a sense of wonder and delight.
In the song, it's used to describe the idyllic fantasy of falling in love in a tropical paradise: "Ça doit être merveilleux de s'aimer là-bas" (It must be marvelous to love each other there). This word perfectly captures the dreamy, escapist mood of the lyrics, making it both memorable and enticing.
