Maintenant Ou Jamais Lyrics in English Tal , Dry

Home / Lyrics Translation / Tal / Maintenant Ou Jamais

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.
