Below, I translated the lyrics of the song On En A Marre De Noël by Aldebert from French to English.

We're sick of Christmas

And December that never ends

We're sick of Christmas

And of waiting for it not to snow

One reindeer and I lose it

Decorating the tree is torture

I can't stand the sound of bells anymore

Or see an elf at all

Here we go for Christmas Eve

The longest one on the planet

Jingle Bells and turkey with chestnuts

And to think I'm deprived of my tablet

They'll all start again in chorus

The same songs for a month

If I ran into a little choirboy

I'd make him eat his wooden cross

As for the houses in my block

They're a garland showroom

You can say they go all out

Next door alone is Disneyland!

We're sick of Christmas

And December that never ends

We're sick of Christmas

And of waiting for it not to snow

And often the hardest part

Is forcing yourself to smile

When it comes to gifts

Honestly, we couldn't do worse

And what to tell Granny Jo

When she asks 'you happy, kid?'

You say 'yeah, it's funny'

While thinking 'it totally sucks!'

Three slightly cruel solutions

To get rid of the present

There's LeBonCoin, there's the trash

Or re-gift it at New Year

This year, me, I'm running away

To Brussels or Ouagadougou

Problem is, at year's end

Well, it's Christmas pretty much everywhere

We're sick of Christmas

And December that never ends

We're sick of Christmas

And of waiting for it not to snow

For the old bearded guy I'm planning

A somewhat cheeky welcome

I'll leave the fireplace burning

And traps at the foot of the tree!

I'll chuck to the bottom of the canal

Tino Rossi's complete works

And I'll sing heavy metal

At midnight mass

I'll even, if I have to

Sabotage the sleigh's brakes

So it takes off super fast

Fed up with Santa Claus

We're sick of Christmas

It's Christmas!

And December that never ends

I got it, Joel!

We're sick of Christmas

Indeed, now it's clearer!

And of waiting for it not to snow

We're sick of it

but no problem, little Aldebert

Stay all alone in your room

No, that's not what I mean

We'll give your gifts to other kids

no no!

How about I fix you a plate of mac 'n' cheese!

well great

No worries!

No, but Santa!

It's no problem if 'Sir' doesn't like Christmas

No, that's not it

It's just a song, Santa

I wouldn't mind a gift or two

Any turkey left?

SONG MEANING

Tired of tinsel? So is Aldebert! In On En A Marre De Noël the Italian singer turns the usual holiday cheer on its head, voicing the grumpy thoughts we sometimes whisper to ourselves when December feels never-ending. He rails against reindeer, jingling bells, tasteless gifts, and houses lit up like mini-theme parks, all while counting the seconds until the last chorus of “Jingle Bells” finally stops. The song’s catchy, upbeat melody makes the rant even funnier, highlighting the contrast between sparkling Christmas clichés and the narrator’s mounting exasperation.

Behind the comedic tantrum lies a playful critique of how commercial and repetitive the season can become. By threatening to swap presents on classified ads, feed carolers their songbooks, or even sabotage Santa’s sleigh, the narrator shows how forced merriment can push people to silly extremes. Yet the punchline reveals a softer side: despite all the grumbling, he still wants a couple of gifts and a slice of turkey. Aldebert cleverly reminds listeners that it’s normal to feel overloaded by holiday hype, and that humor is the best antidote when Christmas spirit feels more like pressure than pleasure.
