O Canada

"O Canada" - the world's most mildly enthusiastic song of patriotism. I translated the lyrics for fun because they were short.

Original Lyrics:

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.

Lyrics translated:

Canada is the place that we live and where we were born.
People who were born here really like it here.
We look at Canada with admiration and are grateful that it is not ruled by America.
Wherever you are in Canada, there are Canadians.
I sure hope that Canada continues to not be ruled by America.
Wherever you are in Canada, there are Canadians.
Hopefully that will be enough.
