Tombé Sous Le Charme Lyrics in English Christophe Maé

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Tombé Sous Le Charme by Christophe Maé from French to English.
I'm lazing in the sun
I see wonders
I walk on water
You whisper in my ear
That love wakes you up
Everything's beautiful here
So I let my heart drift
My heart be amazed
Because I gotta tell you
I fell under the spell
Because of your hands, your sweet words
Spin around my soul
Like voodoo refrains
I fell under the spell
Because of your breast on my cheek
Spin around my soul
And let's throw ourselves into the bayou
I don't believe in chance
By day or by night
You keep me warm
Like ebony and ivory
Come on, let's sit down
At the old piano
So you let
Your heart decide
Your heart hesitate
I'd like to hear you say
I fell under the spell
Because of your hands, your sweet words
Spin around my soul
Like voodoo refrains
I fell under the spell
Because of your breast on my cheek
Spin around my soul
And let's throw ourselves into the bayou
Let's let the hours pass
Let's let our fears pass
And let it be, yeah
Let happiness flow
And fill yourself with innocence
Fill me with sweetness
And let's roll in the flowers
I fell under the spell
Because of your hands, your sweet words
Spin around my soul
Like voodoo refrains
I fell under the spell
Because of your breast on my cheek
Spin around my soul
And let's throw ourselves into the bayou
Even if I'm not from here
I know the Mississippi shore by heart
Even if I'm not from there, I wanna lose myself
Yeah lose myself in your arms
Even if I'm not from here
I know the Mississippi shore by heart
Even if I'm not from there, I wanna lose myself
Lose myself in your arms
Yeah I wanna live there easy
Give myself up in the fine grass
Yeah I wanna live there easy
Let myself go Huckleberry Finn style
Yeah I wanna live there easy
Take it easy next to you in the fine grass
Yeah I wanna live there easy
I'll be your Huckleberry Finn

SONG MEANING

Christophe Maé invites us on a sun-drenched trip where French charm meets the lazy mystique of the American South. From the very first lines, he is “lézarding” in the sunshine, hearing sweet words whispered in his ear, and letting his heart float toward wonder. The Mississippi river, voodoo refrains, and mentions of a carefree Huckleberry Finn life paint a picture of romantic escapism: a place where time slows, flowers replace worries, and love becomes a warm, endless summer afternoon.

At its core, Tombé Sous Le Charme is a joyful confession of being spellbound. Maé lists the magical triggers—soft hands, tender words, a lover’s touch—that circle his soul like an irresistible melody. The chorus repeats his surrender: he has fallen under the charm and wants nothing more than to roll in the grass, dive into the bayou, and lose himself in his partner’s arms. It is a feel-good anthem that celebrates letting go, trusting the pull of passion, and believing that happiness blossoms when you simply “laisse faire le bonheur.”
