Photo of bleeding heart blossoms, red and white, sitting in my palm.
I'm going to post this pic now, but Happy Canada Day everyone.
Title from the Canadian National Anthem...they keep changing the lyrics.
I had to google the lyrics below. It's not the same anthem I sang as a child, though there are still some remnants of the original rhymes.
O Canada!
Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!
From far and wide,
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee. - Canadian National Anthem (English version)
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. - Canadian National Anthem (French version)
O Canada! Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command,
Car ton bras sait porter l'épée,
Il sait porter la croix!
Ton histoire est une épopée
Des plus brillants exploits,
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee. - Canadian National Anthem (Bilingual Version)
