[Leonard Cohen - The Lost Canadian Un Canadien errant lyrics]
Un Canadien errant (A wandering Canadian)
Banni de ses foyers (banned from his hearths)
Parcourait en pleurant
(travelled while crying)
Des pays étrangers (in foreign lands)
Parcourait en pleurant
(travelled while crying)
Des pays étrangers (in foreign lands)
Un jour, triste et pensif
(One day, sad and pensive)
Assis au bord des flots
(sitting by the flowing waters)
Au courant fugitif (to the fleeing current)
Il adressa ces mots
(he addressed these words)
Au courant fugitif (to the fleeing current)
Il adressa ces mots
(he addressed these words)
Si tu vois mon pays (If you see my country)
Mon pays malheureux (my unhappy country)
Va dire à mes amis (go tell my friends)
Que je me souviens d'eux
(that I remember them)
Va dire a mes amis (go tell my friends)
Que je me souviens d'eux
(that I remember them)
O jours si pleins d'appas
(O days so full of charms)
Vous êtes disparus (you have vanished)
Et ma pays, helas! (And my native land, alas)
Je ne le verrai plus (I will see it no more)
Et ma pays, helas! (And my native land, alas)
Je ne le verrai plus (I will see it no more)
Banni de ses foyers (banned from his hearths)
Parcourait en pleurant
(travelled while crying)
Des pays étrangers (in foreign lands)
Parcourait en pleurant
(travelled while crying)
Des pays étrangers (in foreign lands)
Un jour, triste et pensif
(One day, sad and pensive)
Assis au bord des flots
(sitting by the flowing waters)
Au courant fugitif (to the fleeing current)
Il adressa ces mots
(he addressed these words)
Au courant fugitif (to the fleeing current)
Il adressa ces mots
(he addressed these words)
Si tu vois mon pays (If you see my country)
Mon pays malheureux (my unhappy country)
Va dire à mes amis (go tell my friends)
Que je me souviens d'eux
(that I remember them)
Va dire a mes amis (go tell my friends)
Que je me souviens d'eux
(that I remember them)
O jours si pleins d'appas

Vous êtes disparus (you have vanished)
Et ma pays, helas! (And my native land, alas)
Je ne le verrai plus (I will see it no more)
Et ma pays, helas! (And my native land, alas)
Je ne le verrai plus (I will see it no more)
