Слова: Mickey and Bunny
Приспів:
From the Vancouver Island
To the Alberta highlands,
Manitoba, Saskatchewan,
To Ontario
From New Brunswick to Newfoundland,
The beautiful Maritimes,
Something to sing about,
This Canada of ours.
 
Ой зацвила черешня
У British Columbia
Зацвили яблуньки,
Зацвили сливки
У Альберті ми бачили,
Як піонери мешкали
Українців Канади
Збудили цей край
 
Приспів
 
В Саскатуні, Саскетчеван
Пшениця жовтіється,
У Vegreville, Alberta український фестивал
До Манітоби тоді на схід,
Де море синіється.
Це наша Канада
Ми тут живемо
 
Приспів
 
Something to sing about,
This land of ours.

Історія

The intro from the Country Roads album:

"The point of it all", said Alex Groshak at V-Records, "is to expose everybody everywhere to the type of people Ukrainians are and to show them what we have to contribute to our country from our cultural heritage" For more than half a dozen years now the National Ukrainian Festival in Dauphin, Manitoba has been received with enthusiasm and acclaim by everyone who has visited it, and it is growing every year. An exposition, it receives visitors from all over the world. Yes, there is something to sing about: our cultural heritage in Canada and our own Canadian-Ukrainian song book written as we toured Canada a few years ago.
