Texts Song For Canada English Words by Paul Halley French Words by Anton Raphael Boldaire Sing! Sing a new song, Sing loud and strong, Sing of this land of our hopes and our dreams. Rich harmonies Of races and creeds Join in the chorus from sea unto sea:
Where the whale's ancient lullaby All our voices come together, always singing, "Land of tomorrow, your time has come."
Qu'un nouveau chant Un voeu d'accord qui doit remplir nos coeurs. Peuples divers Touchant les deux mers,
Heureux voisins, ne formez qu'un seui Choeur Aux refrains des cognees dansant sous les vents. Que nos voix ensemble chantent et rechantent, "Oui - Bel aujourd'hui, Vois mon pays."
Sing of the earth,
Sing of great mountains that reach for the sky. Vast plains do tell Of the promise and hope for the future that lies In the loon's timeless melody, In the cry of an eagle that's soaring free. All our voices come together, singing, "Land of tomorrow, your time has come."
