The Lost Canadian lyrics
Song information
Artist: Leonard Cohen
Album: Recent Songs
Lyrics
A wandering canadian
Banned from his hearths
Travelled while crying
Travelled 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
Un canadien errant
Un canadien errant
Banni de ses foyers
Parcourait en pleurant
Des pays etrangers
Parcourait en pleurant
Des pays etrangers
Un jour, triste et pensif
Assis au bord des flots
Au courant fugitif
Il adressa ces mots:
Au courant fugitif
Il adressa ces mots:
"Si tu vois mon pays
Mon pays malheureux
Va dire a mes amis
Que je me souviens d'eux
Va dire a mes amis
Que je me souviens d'eux
O jours si pleins d'appas
Vous etes disparus..
Et ma patrie, helas!
Je ne la verrai plus
Et ma patrie, helas!
Je ne la verrai plus
