V'la l'Bon VentTraditional, Canada
Listen to this song .
This song is available on Michael Mitchell's Canada is for Kids: Volume 1.
This song is also available as an Individual Song Download.
This song is over 300 years old and was sung by the Voyageurs and Coureurs de Bois who roamed throughout Canada when it was a new nation. Such songs kept up their spirits when they had to paddle for up to 18 hours a day, and it also helped them to keep the oars working in rhythm, making everyone's work easier.
V'la l'bon vent, v'la l'joli vent
Derrier chez nous y'a t'un etang
Trois beaux canards s'en vont baignant
Le fils du roi s'en va chassant
Avec son grand fusil d'argent
Visa le noir, tua le blanc
Oh fils du roi, tu est mechant
