O Canada!
The official lyrics in French
O 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.
The Translation of the French Lyrics
Did you know that the English and French versions of the Canadian anthem are different? Here is how the French lyrics translate...
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.
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.

Canada National Anthem in Video
The most emotionally moving of these videos for me is the fans of the Edmonton Oilers singing the national anthem before a stanley cup playoff game. The crowd seems to sing with one voice. Truly Amazing!
