O Canada!


Last mont I posted a poem by Canada's and perhaps the world's finest cheese poets. A regular and most welcome visitor Claudia and a newer but equally welcom visitor Knatolee want to teach me the French version of O Canada. In fact it is Claudia's depest wish to see the French version of teh Canadian National anthem on this blog

Never let it be said that I don't listen to my readers so here is O Canada in French:

Ô Canada!
Terre de nos aïeux,
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
.

As a bonus I have decided to include the Inuktitut version too

Uu Kanata! nangmini nunavut!
Piqujatii nalattiaqpavut.
Angiglivalliajuti,
Sanngijulutillu.
Nangiqpugu, Uu Kanata,
Mianiripluti.
Uu Kanata! nunatsia!
Nangiqpugu mianiripluti,
Uu Kanata, salagijauquna!
