English version:

O Christmas Tree

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
Your branches green delight us!
They are green when summer days are bright,
They are green when winter snow is white.
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
Your branches green delight us!

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
You give us so much pleasure!
How oft at Christmas tide the sight,
O green fir tree, gives us delight!
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
You give us so much pleasure!

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
Forever true your colour.
Your boughs so green in summertime
Stay bravely green in wintertime.
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
Forever true your colour.

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
You fill my heart with music.
Reminding me on Christmas Day
To think of you and then be gay.
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
You fill my heart with music.

French Translation:

Ô sapin de Noël

Ô sapin de Noël, ô sapin de Noël,
Tes branches vertes nous ravissent !
Elles sont vertes quand les jours d’été sont lumineux,
Elles sont vertes quand la neige d’hiver est blanche,
Ô sapin de Noël, ô sapin de Noël,
Tes branches vertes nous ravissent !

Ô sapin de Noël, ô sapin de Noël,
Tu nous donnes tant de plaisir !
Tant de fois à Noël la principale attraction,
Ô sapin vert, tu nous ravit !
Ô sapin de Noël, ô sapin de Noël,
Tu nous donnes tant de plaisir !

Ô sapin de Noël, ô sapin de Noël,
Ta couleur vraie pour toujours.
Tes branches si vertes en été
Restent courageusement verte en hiver.
Ô sapin de Noël, ô sapin de Noël,
Ta couleur vraie pour toujours.

Ô sapin de Noël, ô sapin de Noël,
Tu emplis mon cœur de musique.
Me rappelant le jour de Noël
De penser à toi puis d’être gai.
Ô sapin de Noël, ô sapin de Noël,
Tu emplis mon cœur de musique.
