Un Canadien Errant (The Lost Canadian)

A wandering Canadian,
Banned from his homes,
Traveled while crying
In foreign lands.
Traveled while crying
In foreign lands.
One day, sad and lost,
Sitting by the flowing waters,
To the fleeing current
He spoke these words:
To the fleeing current
He spoke 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 charming,
You have disappeared...
And my homeland, alas!
I will see it no more.
And my homeland, alas!
I will see it no more.
