Текст песни The Maple Trees Remember (The Real McKenzies) с переводом

In days of yore from foreign shores

The royal minions came

And planted firm their feckless flags

On such a fair domain

It marked the beginnings of the end

Of those who first were there

The cultures and a people proud

Were lost forevermore

The maple tree who once stood strong

Come gather round and sing this song together

Forget their queen and all she mans

The Maple Tree

The Maple Tree Remember

Protect the weak and show the strength

Of natural cathedrals in paradise

Above which shine

The northern lights

The way we are, remember?

Mountains and prairies

From sea to sea

Blue unending skies

If you spy those endless skies

A hungry eagle flies

Oh Canada your forests stood

For 250 million moons

With axe and saw

They hacked you down

The end will be here soon

The marathon of greed decreed

Those traitors made it all clear

Majestic trees who once grew tall

Were doomed to disappear
