“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.
