Un Gramme De Terre Lyrics in English Francis Cabrel
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Un Gramme De Terre by Francis Cabrel from French to English.
Une graine qui tombe
A seed that falls
Sur un gramme de terre
Onto a gram of soil
Una grana chì si ni casca
A seed that falls
À nant'à un grammu di tarra
Onto a gram of earth
Qui se bat et qui monte
That fights and rises
Tout droit vers la lumière
Straight toward the light
Qui eishavòla e qui monta
That struggles and climbs
Tot dret cap a l'estèla
Straight toward the star
En buvant aux averses
Drinking from downpours
En évitant les coups
Dodging the hits
Èk dlo la pli pou brè
With rainwater to drink
Épi fòs pou paré kout
And strength to deflect blows
Des gens qui la renversent
People who knock it over
Hi ha gent que la baralla
There're people who attack it
Des vents qui la traversent
Winds that pass through it
El vent que la travessa
The wind that crosses it
Et qui reste debout
Yet it stays upright
Però que es manté dreta
Still it stands straight
I toujou dwèt Pitchan
And always straight, tiny
È si ni stà arritta
And it stays standing
Xutik irauten du
It keeps itself upright
E qui dreta s'està
And remains standing
È si ni stà arritta
And it stays standing
C'est l'histoire du monde
It's the story of the world
T'en verras pas la fin
You won't see the end
Des esch a Geschecht vo
That's the tale of
Unseri Wald
Our forest
Dü worsch s'And net sah devo
You won't ever see its end
La racine est profonde
The root is deep
C'est d'elle que l'on tient
From it we draw
La racina es prefonda
The root is deep
Es d'ela que tenèm
It's from it we hold
La fièvre et le courage
The fever and the courage
De jamais renoncer
To never give up
An derzhienn, ar galon
The drive, the heart
Da zerc'hel berr bepred
To keep going always
C'est tout sauf un mirage
It's anything but a mirage
Miraririk ez da
It's no illusion
Un jour de son feuillage
One day from its foliage
Noizbait hostailatik
Someday from its leaves
Tu entendras glisser
You'll hear sliding
Jausten entzunen da
You'll hear it fall
Una autra grana que tomba
Another seed that fell
Sus un autre grama de tèrra
On another gram of land
Es ella que ens empara
It's the one that shelters us
I ens fa avançar
And makes us move forward
Homañ hor gwaranta
It guarantees us
Hor lak da vont war-raok
It pushes us ahead
Jarraigoen apaintzen
Dressing the roots
Dantzari nahi gaitu
Wants to make us dance
Dépi nan ni nan nan
Since way back when
I ka wouvè chimen
And it opens paths
Schon làng harè zeit
For a very long time
S'Kernel uns de Waj
Its kernel shows the way
Ogni ghjornu a grana
Every day the seed
La grana se partèja
The seed keeps sharing
Si sparti di più
It splits even more
Cada jorn mai e mai
More and more each day
Voilà ce qu'elle devient
That's what it becomes
Voilà ce qu'elle devient
That's what it becomes
Une graine qui tombe
A seed that falls
Qu'un courant d'air
A breath of air
Emmène loin
Takes it far
Dans la poussière
Into the dust
Entre les pierres
Between the stones
Qui pour survivre
That, to survive
Ne trouve rien
Finds nothing
Qui roule roule encore
That keeps rolling, rolling
Et qui soudain
And that suddenly
Se pose contre
Settles against
Et trouve enfin
And finally finds
Un gramme de terre
A gram of earth
