Leonard Cohen - The Lost Canadian Lyrics
A wandering canadian,Banned from his hearths,Travelled while cryingTravelled while cryingIn foreign lands.One day, sad and pensive,Sitting by the flowing waters,To the fleeing currentHe addressed these words:To the fleeing currentHe addressed these words:If you see my country,My unhappy country,Go tell my friendsThat I remember them.Go tell my friendsThat 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.Un canadien errantUn canadien errantBanni de ses foyers,Parcourait en pleurantDes pays etrangers.Parcourait en pleurantDes pays etrangers.Un jour, triste et pensif,Assis au bord des flots,Au courant fugitifIl adressa ces mots:Au courant fugitifIl adressa ces mots:Si tu vois mon pays,Mon pays malheureux,Va dire a mes amisQue je me souviens deux.Va dire a mes amisQue je me souviens deux.O jours si pleins dappas,Vous etes disparus...Et ma patrie, helas!Je ne la verrai plus.Et ma patrie, helas!Je ne la verrai plus.
