Le Sapin Lyrics in English Charlie

Home / Lyrics Translation / Charlie / Le Sapin

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Le Sapin by Charlie from French to English.

I'm not scared of suffering anymore

Seeing you again, you see, it's worse

It's no longer time to choose

My love, my lover, my empire

The future's silent

Yawning without sleeping is worse

It's the sum of memories

My love, my lover, please

You can just shut the door

Applaud me without escort

You can leave at ease

My love, my lover, I can take it

All the moments to come

The best as well as the worst

I hang on so I don't run

My love, my lover, please

To tell you my name

Like yesterday, like the day before

Just a kiss for Christmas

A gift for New Year's

To ask 'when do we call again?'

I hope maybe tomorrow

Because tomorrow's Christmas

And I've got nothing under my tree

I fall apart when I guess

The places, the spots where you slip away

All the pages you delete

My love, my lover, kills me

Either fall in love or hit bottom

For any reason or none

You can leave at ease

My love, my lover, my spy

We can even flip a coin

If it's tails I'm wrong

If it's heads you're out

Press 1, press 2, press again

To tell you my name

Like yesterday, like the day before

Just a kiss for Christmas

A gift for New Year's

To ask 'when do we call again?'

I hope maybe tomorrow

Because tomorrow's Christmas

And I've got nothing under my tree

La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la

To tell you my name

Like yesterday, like the day before

Just a kiss for Christmas

A gift for New Year's

To ask 'when do we call again?'

I hope maybe tomorrow

Because tomorrow's Christmas

Did you get my last letter?

SONG MEANING

Le Sapin paints a bittersweet holiday scene where Christmas lights can’t outshine the ache of a love that is slipping away. Over gentle, almost lullaby-like verses, Charlie speaks to a partner he still calls mon amour, mon amant, swinging between brave acceptance and desperate hope. The Christmas tree (the sapin) becomes a symbol of empty space: gifts are missing, kisses are overdue, and tomorrow’s festivities only underline today’s loneliness.

Yet amid the heart-tugging nostalgia, there is playful resilience. Charlie jokingly suggests flipping a coin to decide who is wrong, dial-pad commands to keep the conversation alive, and applause without an audience. These small, quirky images reveal someone fighting sadness with humor, still longing for a simple “just one kiss for Christmas.” In the end, the song is a tender reminder that the holidays can magnify both our brightest hopes and our deepest heartbreaks, leaving us to wonder if love will return to fill the space beneath the tree.
