When run through
babelfish, the original French version above translates thus:
O Canada! Ground of our aïeux,
Your face east girds glorious florets!
Because your arm can carry the sword,
It can carry the cross!
Your history is épopée,
more brilliant exploits.
And your value, from soaked faith,
Will protect our homes and our rights.
Will protect our homes and our rights.
I may weep openly.
