About the song

This is the national anthem of Canada. It is played by the band prior to the start of all home hockey games. It is always followed by The Star Spangled Banner.

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.


Ou alternativement,

O Canada! Terre de nos aïeux,
Ton front est ceint de fleurons glourieux!
Car ton bra sait porter l'épée,
Il sait porter la croix!
Ton histoire est une épopée
Des plus brilliantes exploits.
Et ta valeur, de foi trempée
Protégera nos foyer et nos droits.
Protégera nos foyer et nos droits.
