Comment Ça Va Lyrics in English Madame Monsieur , Jok'air

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Comment Ça Va by Madame Monsieur from French to English.
It's an ordinary morning in November
Every winter morning follows and looks the same
Yet there's a scent of ashes in the air
She took all her things, you hear her going down
And it fell, violent like a cleaver
Her heart deserted, it's innocent
She fell in love and stunned
Nothing could stop her from leaving
Hey, you, how are you How are you
How's life been since last time
You, how are you How are the kids
How's your wife Kiss her for me
I'm not in the mood to party and we're approaching the end of December
I can't celebrate Christmas, the house is sad without children
I blame myself because I blame their mom
I still love her, I miss my family
But as she loves someone else
I don't talk about it because it hurts too much
When I walk in the street
People like you who ask me how I'm doing
I feel like telling them that with a bullet between the eyes
I'd probably feel better
It's too cruel when love is in the plural
When the one you love loves another
And seeing their silhouettes disappear down an alley
And it fell, violent like a cleaver
Her heart deserted, it's innocent
She fell in love and stunned
Nothing could stop her from leaving
Hey, you, how are you How are you
How's life been since last time
You, how are you How are the kids
How's your wife Kiss her for me
Each with their own solitude
How to talk about their life
I'm not used to it
I don't even know if I want to
And as long as I don't have the words, as long as I haven't told them
It's as if she's here, as if she hasn't left
Each with their own solitude
Everything's fine, my friend
Hey, you, how are you How are you
How's life been since last time
You, how are you How are the kids
How's your wife Kiss her for me

SONG MEANING

“Comment Ça Va” turns the simple, friendly question “How are you?” into a bittersweet punch. Madame Monsieur and Jok’air paint the picture of an ordinary November morning when everything quietly falls apart. A woman packs her bags and walks away, leaving her partner stunned, replaying polite small-talk in his head while anger, guilt, and heartbreak simmer underneath.

The chorus sounds like a casual catch-up with an old friend, yet each “comment ça va” digs deeper into the pain of a love that suddenly split in two. Christmas is coming, the children’s laughter is gone, and jealousy toward “the other man” burns. The song reminds us that behind everyday greetings, people can hide heavy stories—showing how fragile polite words can be when the heart is in ruins.
