J'ai essayé [English translation]

I planted grains in a garden

I sowed rye in a withered field

The grains in the sun are visibly dry

And likewise the rye never sprouted

It wasn't the season or the place, who knew

Either way, deep down, I tried

I made a hut with olive wood

And I liked the sandy ground

Then the roof and the bases fell apart

Spread out on the sand, the broken house

It wasn't the season or the place, who knew

Either way, deep down, I tried

One plans for projects, bridges, or plans

One plans for verses and children

I won sometimes but lost often

Who doesn't fail is not living

It wasn't the season or the place, who knew

Either way, deep down, I tried

It wasn't the season or the place, who knew

Either way, deep down

If what we planted never sprouted

Then What we planted was never lost

If what we planted never sprouted

Then I tried
