Stompin' Tom Connors – The Canadian Lumberjack lyrics

Quand on voit un monture, pistolet et un lasso
On s'imagine de l'aventure du cowboy au grand chapeau
Quand on voit les épinettes, une hache et un bucksaw
On reconnaît sous sa casquette le bûcheron du Canada

Oh hé il est un gars capable
Ce Canadien, ce bûcheron
Oh hé il est infatiguable
Bon travailleur et gai-luron
Bon travailleur et gai-luron

If I Sang about a saddle with a lasso and a gun,
You'd thing about a cowboy beneath the prairie sun
But I sing about a pine tree with a bucksaw and an axe
I sing about a big man, The Canadian Lumberjack.

Oh Hey! To the happy workin' bushman, Of Canada
He's a lumberjack
Oh Hey! To the master of the bushland
He's born to live, By the big bold axe
He's born to live, By the big bold axe

With a whopper giant breakfast, of pancakes, beans and mush
And then you'll hear him whistle all mornin' through the bush
And when it comes to hard work there's just no turnin' back
That son of a gun ironman, The Canadian Lumberjack

Le grand matin il se lève et prend un bon déjeûner
Des bonnes crêpes ou bien des fèves grand spécial du cuisiner
Il n'a pas peur de l'ouvrage, dès sept heure il est au bois
Il faux avoir du courage le bûcheron du Canada

Oh hé il est un gars capable
Ce Canadien, ce bûcheron
Oh hé il est infatiguable
Bon travailleur et gai-luron
Bon travailleur et gai-luron

Oh Hey! To the happy workin' bushman, Of Canada
He's a lumberjack
Oh Hey! To the master of the bushland
He's born to live, By the big bold axe
He's born to live, By the big bold axe

And when his day is over, he'll talk with many chums
He'll sing about the sweetheart, He'll wed when springtime comes

Oh hé il est un gars capable
Ce Canadien, ce bûcheron
Oh hé il est infatiguable
Bon travailleur et gai-luron
Bon travailleur et gai-luron
