Noël Sous Les Tropiques (Audio) Lyrics in English Coeur De Pirate

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Noël Sous Les Tropiques (Audio) by Coeur De Pirate from French to English.
Allongé sur le sable d'or
Lying on golden sand
Que la mer vient broder
That the sea comes to embroider
Dans le bleu d'un ciel de décor
In the blue of a scenic sky
Je me suis éveillé
I woke up
Loin, très loin de mon beau pays
Far, so far from my lovely country
Que décembre blanchit
That December turns white
Je suis là dans ce paradis
I'm here in this paradise
Seul, tout seul sans amis
Alone, all alone with no friends
Noël des tropiques
Tropical Christmas
Malgré ton soleil
Despite your sun
Noël des tropiques
Tropical Christmas
Tu n'es pas un vrai Noël
You're not a real Christmas
Je revois mes Noël d'antan
I recall my old Christmases
Où dansaient devant moi
Where in front of me danced
La maison sous son manteau blanc
The house in its white mantle
Le sapin plein de joie
The tree full of joy
Mais ici les petits enfants
But here the little children
N'ont pas de cheminée
Don't have a chimney
Pour pouvoir y poser devant
To set down in front of it
Ce soir-là leurs souliers
Their shoes that night
Noël des tropiques
Tropical Christmas
Avec ton soleil
With your sun
Noël des tropiques
Tropical Christmas
Tu n'es pas un vrai Noël
You're not a real Christmas
On m'a dit que Papa Noël
They told me Santa Claus
Ne serait jamais là
Would never be here
Et pourtant là haut vers le ciel
And yet up there toward the sky
Monte le même espoir
The same hope rises
Cette nuit au-dessus de moi
Tonight above me
Une étoile a brillé
A star shone
C'est la même que tout là bas
It's the same one that, far away
Ton cœur a regardé
Your heart gazed at
Noël des tropiques
Tropical Christmas
Malgré ton soleil
Despite your sun
Noël des tropiques
Tropical Christmas
Tu es quand même Noël
You're still Christmas

Ultimately, the song celebrates the idea that Christmas spirit can be found anywhere, even under the sunny skies of the tropics.
