Parfait Noël Lyrics in English Coeur De Pirate

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Parfait Noël by Coeur De Pirate from French to English.

I saw the snow settle

Like a fresh wind can bring

Hopes of a better year

And silence spreads as I watch all the kids

Who are waiting for their wishes to come true

But I look at happiness with a startled eye

And the heartache rose

'Cause on my list for Santa I only wished

That a lovely misfortune might hit you

And for Christmas I'd like to cut the bottom of your stockings

Let water freeze, make an ice rink at your place

I'd like you to wait forever for me to call you

Spend my time burning what's left of your candle

'Cause it's Christmas

A perfect Christmas for me

It's misery for you

The perfect Christmas for me

I've always been told I've got quite a temper

And that time always acts like the best bandage

But we both know I'm not very patient

I might've poured mulled wine over all your flowerbeds

But I look at happiness with a startled eye

And the heartache rose

'Cause on my list for Santa I only wished

That a lovely misfortune might hit you

And for Christmas I'd like to cut the bottom of your stockings

Let water freeze, make an ice rink at your place

I'd like you to wait forever for me to call you

Spend my time burning what's left of your candle

'Cause it's Christmas

A perfect Christmas for me

It's misery for you

The perfect Christmas for me

'Cause it's Christmas

A perfect Christmas for me

It's misery for you

A perfect Christmas for me

SONG MEANING

Parfait Noël paints a snow-dusted postcard scene, yet the singer’s heart is anything but merry. While children dream of gifts and fresh beginnings, she drafts a mischievous wish list aimed squarely at an ex-lover: snipping stockings, flooding the house so it freezes into a skating rink, and letting their candle burn down to nothing. The contrast is deliciously dark; holiday sparkle becomes a backdrop for playful revenge, turning traditional cheer into a gleefully spiteful celebration.

Behind the tongue-in-cheek sabotage lies raw heartbreak. She admits people say time heals all wounds, but she is “not very patient,” so vengeance feels like the quickest balm. By declaring that her perfect Christmas equals her ex’s misery, the song captures how festive seasons can magnify unresolved emotions. It is a witty, bittersweet reminder that joy and pain often twinkle side by side under the holiday lights.
