歌曲：Up Here, in Canada

“Up Here, in Canada” video features a clever Canadian song by BC musician, Clark W. The YouTube video released a couple months ago already has over 1.8 million views. It is no surprise as the song and a video provides humorous insight into who we are as Canadians.

According to the musician and The Okanagan Mixing Studio that created the video, it is “dedicated to all the good people in Canada and all the things that make us uniquely Canadian” covering pretty much everything that makes Canada the greatest country in the world. (更多介紹請看To Times網站。)


Verse 1
Timmies & hockey, syrup & bacon, Molson & mounties, PetroCan stations,
Throwin’ on some cheese and gravy on top of our fries (that’s a poutine)
And we wear our plaid sweaters when we walk amongst the northern lights.

Verse 2
Rockies and prairies, oceans and lakes
Other than winter, the all seasons are great.
Brushin’ off the snow a little longer than we’d like,
But you won’t hear us complaining because that just wouldn’t be polite.

Chorus
Cuz up here, in Canada, the air’s clear, the weather’s adequate
We all cheer, we’re pretty passionate
And everybody has a pet polar bear (and a moose)
Yah up here, in C A N A D A

Verse 3
Celsius, kilometres, Prime Ministers and provinces,
We maybe say it different, But we always keep our promises
We said we’d win the gold back in 2010 (and we did)
But because we’re so nice we’ll let you win every now and again (but not too much)

Chorus 2
Cuz up here, in Canada, We like beards, we think they’re fabulous.
We don’t fear if people laugh at us
For wearing six pairs of long underwear (and a toque)
Yah up here, in C A N A D A

Verse 4 (Bridge)
Basketball, telephones, Wonder-bras and hockey
Snowmobiles. ketchup chips and even walkie talkies
Peanut butter, garbage bags, the mighty foghorn,
Just a few things that you can thank us for.

Verse 5
Shatner, Carrey, Myers, Gosling, Reynolds and Reeves.
Candy, Short, Michael J. And all of Schitt’s Creek.
Celine, Shania, Adams, Bieber, Bublé and Drake.
We’re sorry about Nickelback, Yah, that was almost a mistake.
We’re sorry, we’re sorry, yah we’re sorry, eh
We’re so, so, sorry!

Chorus
Cuz up here, in Canada
We like beer, and our cannabis And each year we all get taxed a bunch
But everybody gets free healthcare (and a goos)
Yah up here, in C A N A D A

第5段那些人的名字我不知道，但後面那兩句有意展示加拿大人如何說sorry--他們動不動就說sorry，特點是末尾腔調稍微拐一下。 :)
