Voyage au Canada [English translation]

A most charming family

Three kids, mama, papa

Left one fine day from Nantes

To visit Canada

Finalizing their itinerary

After a lot of thinking

They chose, oddly

These means of transport

So that prior to leaving

They sang for fun...

We'll go to Toronto by car

We'll go to Montreal on horseback

We'll cross Quebec City on foot

We'll go to Ottawa by guagua¹

We'll go to Valleyfield on a tightrope

We'll go to Trois-Rivieres in a litter

Pass by Chicoutimi asleep

We'll go to Lake St-Jean by swimming

There it is, there's a wonderful trip, a wonderful trip

There it is, there's a wonderful trip to Canada

Yes but sometimes it's strange

We don't always do what we want

Very often luck changes

Our most well laid plans

Our friends were, unluckily

Victims of a distraction

Of the agency office head

Of means of transportation

And because of an employee

Who mixed up the tickets

They went to Toronto by swimming

They went to Montreal asleep

They went to Quebec City in a litter

They went to Ottawa on a tightrope

They went to Valleyfield by foot

They went to Trois-Riviere by guagua

Pass through Chicoutimi on horseback

They plunged into Lake St Jean by car

There it is, there's a wonderful trip, a wonderful trip

There it is, there's a wonderful trip to Canada

Since that time, ladies and gentlemen

The travellers came to understand

In order to avoid drama

One must at any cost

Double-check with the agencies

The transportation tickets

If you leave for vacation

The simplest of precautions

Is to sing my little song

My little itinerary song

1, 2

We'll go to Toronto by car

We'll go to Montreal on horseback

We'll cross Quebec City by foot

We'll go to Ottawa by guagua

We'll go to Valleyfield on a tightrope

We'll go to Trois-Rivieres in a litter

Pass Chicoutimi asleep

We'll go to Lake St-Jean by swimming

There it is, there's a wonderful trip, a wonderful trip

There it is, there's a wonderful trip to Canada
