Un Canadien errant
Traditional Canadian Lyrics
Performed by Michael Mitchell

This song is available on Michael Mitchell's Canada is for Kids: Volume 2.

Newfoundland people know how to tell a tall tale, especially when it comes to fishing stories. This is one of their more famous ones.

Un canadien errant
Banni de ses foyers
Un canadien errant
Banni de ses foyers
Parcourait en pleurant
Des pays étrangers
Parcourait en pleurant
Des pays étrangers

Un jour triste et pensif
Assis au bord des flots
Au courant fugitif
Il adressa ces mots

Si tu vois mon pays
Mon pays malheureux
Va, dis a mes amis
Que je me souviens d'eux

O jours si pleins d'appas
Vous êtes disparus
Et ma patrie, hélas, je ne la verrai plus

Non, mais en expirant
O mon cher Canada
Mon regard languissant
Vers toi se portera
