Original lyrics

Down To The River

I went down to the river

But the river was dry

I went down to the sea

But it was not the place to be

So I climbed the highest mountain

And I climbed to the mountaintop

Girl, I found me a home

And I don't have to roam

Au bord de la riviére

Mais la riviére était sèche

Au bord de la mer gras

n'était pas la place pour moi

Je trouve la plus haute montagne

Mais la montagne était trop haute

Oh j'ai trouvé mon foyer

Il faut plus me promener

Well I went down to the river

But the river was dry

I went down to the sea

But it was not the place to be

So I climbed the highest mountain

And I climbed to the mountaintop

Girl, I found me a home

And you know I can't stop

Oh je chante ma p'tit chanson

Avec l'esprit de la Louisiane

Oh je viens des grandes prairies

Les grandes prairies de Manitoba

Oh la langue est tout la même

Mais la culture un p'tit peu différent

Oh c'est toute une grande famille

Je chante pour toi, je chante por moi!

Translation

Down To The River

I went down to the river

But the river was dry

I went down to the sea

But it was not the place to be

So I climbed the highest mountain

And I climbed to the mountaintop

Girl, I found me a home

And I don't have to roam

Along the river's edge

But the river was dry

At edge of the oily sea

Wasn't the place for me

I find the highest mountain

But the mountain was too high

Oh I found my home

It takes longer to walk

Well I went down to the river

But the river was dry

I went down to the sea

But it was not the place to be

So I climbed the highest mountain

And I climbed to the mountaintop

Girl, I found me a home

And you know I can't stop

Oh I sing my little song

With the spirit of Louisiana

Oh I come from the big prairies

The big prairies of Manitoba

Oh the language is all the same

But the culture is a little bit different

Oh it's all one big family

I sing for you, I sing for me!
