Maintenant Ou Jamais Lyrics in English Tal , Dry

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Maintenant Ou Jamais by Tal from French to English.
For all that I've given everything, it's my story
As far as I know I didn't steal anything, it's my story
How many times did I have to fall? I don't even count
I think it's now or never
All this time, I wanna believe in it
All the time, even with nothing at all
Yet, everything pushes me to believe
It's now or never
It's now, I can feel it
I'm gonna surprise everybody like the have-nots
I kick for the people, for the good people
He who goes to the grind, lives his fate and never complains
And as for those who called me a puppet
Tell them that now I make hits, a full-time job
Tal, do you know we'll mark this era?
We'll make classics, nobody'll say it was meh
All this time, I wanna believe in it
All the time, even with nothing at all
Yet, everything pushes me to believe
It's now or never
Kery James was the spearhead
It was so heavy, I could say we were proud of the man
And 113 at the Victoires de la Musique
They made the suburbs buzz so don't be amnesiac
We got on the radio without knocking
We hyped up all the brothers with dreadlocks
Rim, Moko, left their mark on the Hexagon
Now it's my turn, it needs to blow up clear to the Pentagon
All this time, I wanna believe
All the time, even with nothing at all
Yet, everything pushes me to believe
It's now or never
I told myself, Landry stop, you gotta quit it all
I wanna believe
Before you turn crazy, vanish
Even with nothing at all
But I'm way too proud, too, to let everything go
Everything points to believing
Life's way too short
I think it's now or never
All this time, I wanna believe in it
All the time, even with nothing at all
Yet, everything pushes me to believe
It's now or never
All this time, I wanna believe in it
All the time, even with nothing at all
Yet, everything pushes me to believe
It's now or never
For all that I've given everything, it's my story
As far as I know I didn't steal anything, it's my story
How many times did I have to fall? I don't even count
I think it's now or never

SONG MEANING

Feel the rush of the present moment! In Maintenant Ou Jamais (“Now or Never”), Israeli-born pop star Tal teams up with French rapper Dry to deliver an adrenaline-charged pep talk for anyone chasing a dream. Over a driving beat, they shout that every slip, every empty pocket, and every doubter is fuel for the climb. The refrain pounds the idea home: I’ve always believed, even with nothing in my hands… it’s now or never!

The verses read like a victory lap mixed with a diary entry. Dry salutes French hip hop icons such as Kery James and 113, reminding us that legends once stood where he stands today. Tal echoes the sentiment, insisting she never stole her success; she earned it through falls she no longer bothers to count. Together they invite listeners to seize today, trust their grind, and turn setbacks into chart-topping comebacks. The song’s message is simple yet electrifying: if you want your story to matter, the perfect moment is right now.
