Chanson patriotique. Faut continuer à être vigilants pour conserver notre trésor national : notre langue.

Une si belle langue. Compliquée, ce qui fait son charme.

Mommy, daddy, I love you dearly
Please tell me how in French my friends used to call me
Paule, Lise, Pierre, Jacques ou Louise
Groulx, Papineau, Gauthier, Fortin, Robichaud, Charbonneau.

Mommy, daddy, what happened to my name?
Oh mommy, daddy, how come it's not the same?
Oh mommy, tell me why it's too late, too late, much too late?

Mommy, daddy, I love you dearly
Please tell me where we used to live in this country
Trois-Rivières, Saint-Paul, Grand-Mère
Saint-Marc, Berthier, Gaspé, Dolbeau, Tadoussac, Gatineau.

Mommy, daddy, how come it's not the same?
Oh mommy, daddy, there's so much in a name.
Oh mommy, tell me why it's too late, too late, much too late?

Mommy, daddy, I love you dearly
Please do the song you sang when I was a baby
Fais dodo, Colas mon p'tit frère
Fais dodo, mon petit frère, tu auras de l'eau.
