Une graine qui tombe
On a gram of earth
Una grana chì si ni casca
À nant'à un grammu di tarra
Who fights and who rises
Straight towards the light
Who eishavòla and who went up
Tot straight head to the estèla
Drinking in showers
Avoiding blows
Èk dlo la pli pour brè
Epi fòs pou paré kout
People who knock her down
Hi ha gent que la baralla
Winds that cross it
The wind that travessa
And who remains standing
Però que es manté dreta
I always dwèt Pitchan
È si ni staà ​​arritta
Xutik irauten du
E qui dreta s’està
È si ni staà ​​arritta
It's the history of the world
You won't see the end
Esch has Geschecht vo
Unseri Wald
Dü worsch sAnd net sah devo
The root is deep
It's from her that we take
The root is prefounda
This is what happens
Fever and courage
To never give up
An derzhienn, ar gallon
Da zerc'hel berr bepred
It's anything but a mirage
Miraririk ez da
One day of its foliage
Noizbait hostailatik
You will hear sliding
Jausten entzunen da
Another big thing that fell
On another gram of earth
Is she that you seized
I'm moving forward
Homan hor gwaranta
Hor lak da va war-raok
Jarraigoen apaintzen
Dantzari nahi gaitu
Depi nan ni nan nan
I ka wouvè chimen
Schon làng harè zeit
S'Kernel uns de Waj
Ogni ghjornu a grana
La grana se partèja
Si sparti di più
Cada jorn mai e mai
Voilà ce la devient
Voilà ce la devient
Une graine qui tombe
Qu'un au courant d'air
Carue loin
Dans la poussière
Entre les pierres
Qu'un pour survivre
Qu'un roule roule encore roule
Et qui soudain
Apperfer
Et enfin trouve
Un gramme de terre
A gram of earth

SONG MEANING

Picture a tiny seed drifting through the air. It finally lands on just one gram of soil, a speck hardly big enough to hold hope, yet that seed digs in, drinks the rain, braces against storms, and rises toward the light. Francis Cabrel turns this simple image into a vibrant metaphor for human resilience: the seed is every one of us, launching a quiet fight for survival in a world full of gusts, stones, and careless feet. Its roots grow deep, drawing up courage and feverish energy, promising that even when the odds look microscopic, life can still shoot upward and bloom.

Un Gramme De Terre reminds us that progress is usually born from perseverance. Each new sprout inspires another, spreading strength across generations and borders just as the song shifts fluidly between French and regional languages. By the closing lines, the seed has become a symbol of perpetual renewal: it rolls, it searches, it lands, and it starts the miracle all over again. Cabrel invites listeners to hear their own heartbeat in that fragile stem and to trust that, given even the smallest chance, we too can stand tall.
