One of Canada's un-official national anthems. Somewhat un-pc these days (very Anglo-Ontario-centric), but old people seem to like it.
The Maple Leaf Forever
In Days of yore,
From Britain's shore
Wolfe the dauntless hero came
And planted firm Britannia's flag
On Canada's fair domain.
Here may it wave,
Our boast, our pride
And joined in love together,
The thistle, shamrock, rose entwined,
The Maple Leaf Forever.
CHORUS
The Maple Leaf
Our Emblem Dear,
The Maple Leaf Forever.
God save our Queen and heaven bless,
The Maple Leaf Forever.
At Queenston Heights and Lundy's Lane
Our brave fathers side by side
For freedom's home and loved ones dear,
Firmly stood and nobly died.
And so their rights which they maintained,
We swear to yeild them never.
Our watchword ever more shall be
The Maple Leaf Forever
CHORUS
Our fair Dominion now extends
From Cape Race to Nootka Sound
May peace forever be our lot
And plenty a store abound
And may those ties of love be ours
Which discord cannot sever
And flourish green for freedom's home
The Maple Leaf Forever
CHORUS
While I'm at it I should probably explain some of the more obscure references (at lease to non-Canadians):
General Wolfe was the British commander who defeated the French on the Plains of Abraham in the Battle of Quebec, making Quebec (i.e. Canada) a British possession: Hence the references to "from Britain's shore" and the planting of "Britannia's flag".
The thistle is the symbol of Scotland, the Shamrock of Ireland, and the Rose of England, symbolizing the British heritage of traditional English Canada. Notice the conspicuous absence of the fleur de lie or any native symbols.
Queenston Heights and Lundy's Lane were battles fought in Upper Canada (Ontario) during the War of 1812 against American invaders.
"Dominion" is the word long used to describe the Canadian confederation (since it's not really an empire, a monarchy, or a republic). Before 1982 Canada was officially known as the "Dominion of Canada" (I think it's just "Canada" now). The term was later extended to other ex-British possessions such as Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa.
Not hard then to understand why not many people (beside Canadian Alliance MP's), and especially not many French, like this song anymore. |
