I know that you wanna be Canadian!

Hilarious!

Version expliquée aux français:

Yeah I know that you wanna be Canadian, please:
Les canadiens sont réputés très très polis
Even if in winter things tend to freeze
We’ve got the world monopoly on trees
And our country’s bordered by three different seas:
L'océan atlantique, pacifique et arctique
Yeah I know that you wanna be Canadian, please
We invented the zipper, we’ve got expertise
We made insulin to combat disease:
Les canadiens sont à l'origine de beaucoup d'inventions (le basket-ball, le téléphone, la télé...)
Yeah I know that you wanna be Canadian, please
CHORUS
Brits have got the monarchy:
La Reine d'Angleterre Elizabeth II est aussi reine du Canada!
The US has the money
But I know that you wanna be Canadian
The French have got the wine and cheese
Koalas chill with the Aussies
But I know that you wanna be Canadian
Et si ce n’était pas assez
On a deux langues officielles:
L’anglais et le français
Ooh la la
Yeah I know that you wanna be Canadian, please
Where else do you find mounted police
Or go to the hospital and not pay fees:
Au Canada, contrairement aux US, le système de santé est public et gratuit.
Yeah I know that you wanna be Canadian, please
And when freshwater is in high demand
We’ve got the world’s largest supply on hand
So you know that we could make a pretty good friend
But it’s even better if you can be…
CHORUS
So you’re thinking to yourself,
« How do I live in this beautiful country? »
Well we’ve got some steps for you to follow…
STEP 1: Lose the gun:
Encore une comparaison avec les US.
STEP 2: Buy a canoe:
Mon copain en a un! lol
STEP 3: Live multiculturally
STEP 4: You’re ready, there is no more!
We got beavers, caribou and moose
We got buffalos, bears, and Canadian goose
And we’re sorry about Celine Dion
But she did do that good song for James Cameron…:
On sait tous qu'elle est canadienne mais pour moi elle est très française (si on fait abstraction de son délicieux accent québécois). C'est vrai! Elle passe le plus clair de son temps à côté de Nikos. En France, en somme. Ah oui! J'oubliais! James Cameron, c'est le réalisateur canadien qui a fait Terminator, Rambo, Avatar et...Titanic!
CHORUS
Brits have got the monarchy
The US has the money
But I know that you wanna be Canadian
The French have got the wine and cheese
Koalas chill with the Aussies
But I know that you wanna be Canadian
The Greek chilled out with Socrates
Can’t build a wall like the Chinese
But I know that you wanna be Canadian
In Kenya they have safaris
We’ve missed lots of other countries
But I know that you wanna be Canadian
