Below, I translated the lyrics of the song L'hymne De Nos Campagnes 2019 by Tryo from French to English.

If you were born in a housing project

I dedicate this poem to you

Hoping that deep in your dull eyes

You can see a little blade of grass

And man, you gotta see things clearly

It's high time to hit pause

To swap this gloomy life

For the perfume of a rose

It's the anthem of our countryside

Of our rivers, of our mountains

Of life, man, of the animal world

Shout it real loud, wear out your vocal cords

No job, no diplomas

Everywhere the same dead-end smell

Nothing fires up your neurons anymore

Not even the sh*t you pack into your cones

Go look elsewhere, nothing holds you back

Hurry up and make something with your hands

Don't look back, there's nothing for you here

And be the first to sing this refrain

It's the anthem of our countryside

Of our rivers, of our mountains

Of life, man, of the animal world

Shout it real loud, wear out your vocal cords

Sit down by a river

Listen to the water flowing over the earth

Tell yourself that at the end, hey, there's the sea

And that, that ain't anything short-lived

You'll then understand you're nothing

Like the one before you, like, like the one who's coming

That the liquid running through your hands

Will keep you alive till tomorrow morning

It's the anthem of our countryside

Of our rivers, of our mountains

Of life, man, of the animal world

Shout it real loud, wear out your vocal cords

Sit down next to an old oak

And compare it to the human race

The oxygen and shade it brings you

Does it deserve the axe blows that bleed it?

Lift your head, look at its leaves

You might see a squirrel

Staring at you in all its pride

Its home's right there, you're on the doorstep

It's the anthem of our countryside

Of our rivers, of our mountains

Of life, man, of the animal world

Shout it real loud, wear out your vocal cords

Maybe I'm talking just to talk

Maybe when you listen you feel like laughing

But if concrete is your future

Tell yourself it's the forest that lets you breathe

I'd like, for all the animals

For you to catch the message in my words

Because a patch of earth, a stalk of reed

Will feed the growth of your kids

It's the anthem of our countryside

Of our rivers, of our mountains

Of life, man, of the animal world

Shout it real loud, wear out your vocal cords

It's the anthem of our countryside

Of our rivers, of our mountains

Of life, man, of the animal world

Shout it real loud, wear out your vocal cords, hey

SONG MEANING

“L’hymne De Nos Campagnes 2019” is a feel-good reggae-folk anthem in which French band Tryo urges city-dwellers to swap grey concrete for green horizons. Speaking straight to anyone “born in a housing project,” the singer offers a poetic escape: step outside, breathe in the scent of a rose, sit by a river, listen to the water, and remember that nature is the true source of life. The repeated chorus becomes a rallying cry celebrating our countryside, our rivers, our mountains, the animal world, and invites listeners to belt it out at the top of their lungs.

Behind the catchy rhythm lies an ecological and social wake-up call. Tryo highlights unemployment, boredom, and pollution, then proposes a simple remedy: reconnect with the earth, use your hands, and respect the living beings that share the planet. By comparing a mighty oak to humankind and reminding us that forests give us oxygen, the song turns into a playful yet powerful lesson about humility and environmental stewardship. In short, it is a joyful invitation to trade bleakness for greenery, rediscover wonder, and sing together for a healthier world.
