The Lost Canadian Lyrics by Leonard Cohen

The Lost Canadian 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.
