Comme D'habitude Lyrics in English M. Pokora

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Comme D'habitude by M. Pokora from French to English.
I get up and nudge you
You don't wake up
As usual
I pull the sheet up over you
I'm afraid you'll be cold
As usual
My hand strokes your hair
Almost in spite of myself
As usual
But you turn your back on me
As usual
So I get dressed really fast
I leave the room
As usual
I drink my coffee alone
I'm late
As usual
Silently I leave the house
Everything's gray outside
As usual
I'm cold, I lift my collar
As usual
As usual
All day long
I'll play pretend
As usual
I'll smile
As usual
I'll even laugh
As usual
Finally I'll live
As usual
And then the day will go
I'll come back
As usual
You'll be out
Not back yet
As usual
I'll go to bed alone
In this big cold bed
As usual
My tears, I'll hide them
As usual
As usual
Even at night
I'll play pretend
As usual
You'll come back
As usual
I'll wait for you
As usual
You'll smile at me
As usual
As usual
You'll undress
As usual
You'll lie down
As usual
We'll kiss
As usual
As usual
We'll pretend
As usual
We'll make love
As usual
We'll pretend
As usual

SONG MEANING

Comme d’habitude literally means “as usual,” and that simple phrase sets the mood for the whole song. M. Pokora paints the morning-to-night routine of a couple who keep acting like everything is fine even though the love has cooled. From pulling up the blanket so his partner does not get cold to sipping coffee alone in a silent kitchen, the narrator checks every box of a normal day, yet each action feels hollow.

The real heartbreak hides in the pretending: smiling at work, laughing with friends, sharing a bed at night, even making love… all comme d’habitude. Beneath the ritual there is a lonely man masking tears and a distant partner who also plays along. The song turns an everyday schedule into an emotional roller-coaster, reminding us how routine can be the perfect disguise for fading passion.
