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 social housing project

I dedicate this poem to you

Hoping that in the depths of your dull eyes

You can see a little blade of grass

And we must distinguish between things

It's high time to take a break

To exchange this gloomy life

For the scent 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 out loud, use your vocal cords

No job, no diplomas

Everywhere the same smell of the area

Nothing stimulates your neurons anymore

Not even the weed you put in your cones

Go see elsewhere, nothing holds you back

Quickly do something with your hands

Don't look back, you have nothing here

And be the first to sing this chorus

It's the anthem of our countryside

Of our rivers, of our mountains

Of life, man, of the animal world

Shout it out loud, use your vocal cords

Sit by a river

Listen to the water flowing on the earth

Tell yourself that at the end, hey, there is the sea

And that, that is not ephemeral

You will then understand that you are nothing

Like the one before you, like the one who comes

That the liquid flowing in your hands

Will help you live until tomorrow morning

It's the anthem of our countryside

Of our rivers, of our mountains

Of life, man, of the animal world

Shout it out loud, use your vocal cords

Sit by an old oak tree

And compare it to the human race

The oxygen and shade it brings you

Does it deserve the axe blows that bleed it?

Raise your head, look at its leaves

You might see a squirrel

Looking at you with all its pride

Its home is there, you are at the threshold

It's the anthem of our countryside

Of our rivers, of our mountains

Of life, man, of the animal world

Shout it out loud, use your vocal cords

Maybe I'm talking for no reason

That when you listen to me, you feel like laughing

But if concrete is your future

Tell yourself that it's the forest that makes you breathe

I would like for all animals

That you grasp the message of my words

Because a plot of land, a reed

Will serve 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 out loud, use 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 out loud, use 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.
