I went down to the river But the river was dry I went down to the sea But it was not the place to be So I climbed the highest mountain And I climbed to the mountaintop Girl, I found me a home And I don't have to roam Au bord de la rivire Mais la rivire tait sche Au bord de la mer gras n'tait pas la place pour moi Je trouve la plus haute montagne Mais la montagne tait trop haute Oh j'ai trouv mon foyer Il faut plus me promener Well I went down to the river
But the river was dry I went down to the sea But it was not the place to be So I climbed the highest mountain And I climbed to the mountaintop Girl, I found me a home And you know I can't stop Oh je chante ma p'tit chanson Avec l'esprit de la Louisiane Oh je viens des grandes prairies Les grandes prairies de Manitoba Oh la langue est tout la mme Mais la culture un p'tit peu diffrent Oh c'est toute une grande famille Je chante pour toi, je chante por moi!
