"If you should reach my land, my most unhappy land Please speak to all my friends, so they will understand Tell them how much I wish that I could be once more In that beloved land that I will see no more3. "My own beloved land I`ll not forget `til death And I will speak of her with my last dying breath My own beloved land I`ll not forget `til death And I will speak of her with my last dying breath."soumis par/ submitted by : Ted Hermary (czth@musica.mcgill.ca)
