Canadian National Anthem Lyrics

O Canada! Our home and native land Song Lyrics

 

 

O 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,

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

God keep our land glorious and free!

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

Official French:

O Canada, terre de nos aieux,

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.

 

Translation of French:

 

O Canada!

Land of our forefathers,

Thy brow is wreathed with a glorious garland of flowers.

As is thy arm ready to wield the sword,

So also is it ready to carry the cross.

Thy history is an epic

Of the most brilliant exploits.

Thy valour steeped in faith

Will protect our homes and our rights.

Will protect our homes and our rights.

(*proposed to change to:

“True patriot love in all of us command”

in order to be more gender neutral)
