[English]
Merry Christmas, joyful Christmas
Warm greetings from Fort-de-France
Tonight we turn off the TV
Tonight, together we will sing
Merry Christmas, joyful Christmas
Warm greetings from Fort-de-France
Tonight we turn off the TV
Tonight together we will sing
Here the fields are covered in snow
We only know them from photos
Santa Claus doesn't have a sleigh
The air is just too warm
Here the doors are always open
We can enter all the houses
And to share our songs
We don't need invitations
Merry Christmas, joyful Christmas
Warm greetings from Fort-de-France
Tonight we turn off the TV
Tonight, together we will sing
Merry Christmas, joyful Christmas
Warm greetings from Fort-de-France
Tonight we turn off the TV
Tonight, together we will sing
There are no Christmas trees on the mountain
We decorated the mango trees
There are no stockings in the chimneys
But for everyone, there are gifts
Here the fields are covered in snow
We only know them from photos
Santa Claus doesn't have a sleigh
But for everyone, there are gifts
Merry Christmas, joyful Christmas
Warm greetings from Fort-de-France
Tonight we turn off the TV
Tonight, together we will sing
Merry Christmas, joyful Christmas
Warm greetings from Fort-de-France
Tonight we turn off the TV
Tonight together, we will sing
Merry Christmas, joyful Christmas
Warm greetings from Fort-de-France
Tonight we turn off the TV
