Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Quoi De Plus Beau by Lilian Renaud from French to English.

Si on avait tous de la terre dans les mains

If we all had earth in our hands

Les racines de la vie, les racines pour la vie

The roots of life, the roots for life

Regarder l'horizon les pieds dans les foins

Looking at the horizon, feet in the hay

Pour que poussent les fleurs, vienne la pluie

So the flowers grow, so the rain comes

Si on avait tous de la terre dans les coeurs

If we all had earth in our hearts

Les racines de la vie, les racines de l'humanité

The roots of life, the roots of humanity

Sentir les regains, dans les vents d'été

Feeling the regrowth in the summer winds

Et que poussent les fleurs, aux mille couleurs

And let the flowers grow, in a thousand colors

Monsieur le Président

Mister President

Il y a des hommes qui pleurent sur le bord des rivières

There are men who cry on the riverbanks

Il y a des hommes qui meurent sous le poids de leur terre

There are men who die under the weight of their land

Dans la terre de leur père

In the land of their father

Dans la terre de leur mômes

In the land of their kids

Balayer la terre dans le dos des hommes

Sweeping earth onto men's backs

Il y a qu'en haut qu'on gagne la récolte des graines

Only up top we gain the harvest of seeds

Il y a qu'en haut qu'on chante du pognon dans les veines

Only up top they sing about cash in their veins

Mais c'est dans la terre que meurent les hommes

But it's in the earth that men die

Dans le vent des campagnes on entend les cris

In the country wind you hear the screams

Dans le vent des campagnes on peut sentir la vie

In the country wind you can feel life

Paysans de la terre, paysans qu'on oublie

Farmers of the earth, farmers we forget

Paysans pour la vie, un suicide chaque nuit

Farmers for life, one suicide every night

Monsieur le Président

Mister President

Il y a des hommes qui pleurent sur le bord des rivières

There are men who cry on the riverbanks

Il y a des hommes qui meurent sous le poids de leur terre

There are men who die under the weight of their land

Dans la terre de leur père

In the land of their father

Dans la terre de leur mômes

In the land of their kids

Pourtant, quoi de plus beau

Yet, what's more beautiful

Qu'un champ de blé, sous le soleil

Than a wheat field under the sun

Un trèfle à quatre feuilles

A four-leaf clover

Toutes les merveilles

All the wonders

Quoi de plus beau, quoi de plus beau

What's more beautiful, what's more beautiful
