Un Canadien errant, Banni de ses foyers, Parcourait en pleurant Des pays étrangers. Un jour, triste et pensif, Assis au bord des flots, Au courant fugitif Il adressa ces mots.

about

This song was written by Antoine Gérin-Lajoie in 1842. Inspired by the Lower Canada Rebellion of 1837–1838, the song is about exile experienced by the rebels after the rebellion ended.

evilsonic showed this song to me because it was featured in the Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego video game back in the day, and we recorded it together for a The World Wasn't Meant sketch for the Dwelling of Duels November 2022 competition. We're presenting it here so that you can enjoy it as it is.
