Lyrics

Translation
Bilingual
In Days of yore, from foreign shores
The royal minions came
And planted firm
Their feckless flags
On such a fair domain
It marked beginnings of the end
Of those who first were there
The cultures of a people proud
Were lost forever more
The Maple tree, who once stood strong
Come gather round and sing this song together
Forget their Queen, and all she means
The maple tree, the maple tree remember
Protect the weak
And show the strength of
Our 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
And if you spy
Those endless skies
A hungry eagle flies
The Maple tree, who once stood strong
Come gather round and sing this song together
Forget their Queen, and all she means
The maple tree, the maple tree remember
Canada
Your forests stood
For two hundred, fifty 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
The Maple tree, who once stood strong
Come gather round and sing this song together
Forget their Queen, and all she means
The maple tree
The maple tree
Remember
(Remember)
