"O Canada"

English Lyrics

Oh, Canada
Our home and native land,
True patriot love
In all thy sons command.
With glowing hearts
We see thee rise,
The true, north, strong, and free.
From far and wide
Oh Canada
We stand on guard for thee.
God keep our land
Glorious and free.
Oh, Canada we stand on guard for thee,
Oh, Canada
we stand on guard for thee.

French Lyrics

O Canada!
Terre de nos aîeux,
Ton front est ceint
de fleurons glorieux!
Car ton bras
sait porter l'épée,
Il sait porter
la croix! Ton histoire
est une épopée,
Des plus brillants exploits.
Et ta valeur,
de foi trempée,
Protégera nos foyers et nos droits.
Protégera nos foyers
et nos droits.

142 years...ain't that something. I can still remember our centennial celebrations combined with the EXPO 67 worlds fair when I was a kid. I guess I'm dating myself here, but I've still got a ways to go before I'm 142!

Happy Canada Day!

Ken

ps: I guess you have to click on that flag to make it wave in the breeze, oh well.

And another heartfelt "Happy Canada Day" from a neighbor to the south. Despite all the paranoia at the border, it's nice to know we have a great neighbor to the north....oh, and never mind the moaning from the Mother Country, it's just jealousy over your (and our) scenery and endless roads.... Very Happy

Happy Canada Day!
