Caps anthem singer Bob McDonald sings 'O Canada' in French

[sebastienmart]

Merci beaucoup Bob pour l'hymne national dans sa langue d'origine!

So human to sing the Canadian Anthem as it is usually sung, en français first then in English, in order to represent out country. (For those who might wonder why the partie de langue francaise" is sung first, it is because it is the French that did discover Canada.

The Canadian national anthem should be that, half French half English

Traditionalists instead of judges respect an amazing performance for an American singer. Merci beaucoup, Monsieur McDonald!

Dear Rest of the League: This is the way it's supposed to be done. Find real singers, please.

Ô Canada est l'hymne national du Canada. Le poème a été originellement commissionné par le Lieutenant-gouverneur du Québec Théodore Robitaille pour la cérémonie de la Saint-Jean-Baptiste de 1880. Le juge et poète Basile Routhier composa le texte et Calixa Lavallée la musique. Les paroles originelles ont été écrites en français et traduites en anglais en 1906.

Voici la version française des paroles :

Ô Canada ! Terre de nos aïeux,
Ton front est ceint de fleurons glorieux !
Car ton bras sait porter l'épée,
Il sait porter la croix !
Ton histoire est une épopée
Des plus brillants exploits.
Et ta valeur, de foi trempée,
Protégera nos foyers et nos droits,
Protégera nos foyers et nos droits.

Voici la traduction littérale en anglais de cet hymne :

O Canada!
Land of our ancestors
Glorious deeds circle your brow
For your arm knows how to wield the sword
Your arm knows how to carry the cross;
Your history is an epic
Of brilliant deeds
And your valour steeped in faith
Will protect our homes and our rights,
Will protect our homes and our rights.

En Français, Ô Canada est un poème. Cette traduction littérale en anglais devrait permettre au lecteur de comprendre la beauté de la version française.

Et ta valeur de foi trempée
Protègera nos foyers et nos droits

I would love to interpret this song switching from ASL to LSQ during the French parts.

A Question, what are shouting the crowd? When he sings .. and the rockets red glare... red?

[frederickrapp]

Why does he sing the last 4 verses in English? I thought that he was supposed to sing this song in French.

[Alice-mbxf]

I wish they actually got a native French speaker to sing it. 😒 but he still did an awesome job

[riley]

For me I say it should be French and English for all the Canadian province in the cfl and nhl
