The Lost Canadian (Un Canadien Errant)

A wandering Canadian
Banned from his hearths
Traveled while crying
Traveled while crying
In foreign lands
One day, sad and pensive
Sitting by the flowing waters
To the fleeing current
He addressed these words
To the fleeing current
He addressed these words
If you see my country
My unhappy country
Go tell my friends
That I remember them
Go tell my friends
That I remember them
O days so full of charms
You have vanished
And my native land, alas
I will see it no more
And my native land, alas
I will see it no more
