Since the beginning of the century
Courageous guys have cut down the woods of Quebec
Leaving in the fall, spending the winter in camps
Revn't have seen their wives when spring arrived.......
The Americans, sniffing out a good deal
Came to have fun in the end of Trois-Rivières
This will give us a job for the French Canadians
Build your factories and we'll give you the forest!
For years they've been cutting like dice dark
The demand is too great for what the forest can provide
But it's not a big deal
There are friends in the government
Fa'qu' went back up to the north
Continue the clear-cutting...
The Amerindians those who hunt from father to son
Wanted to speak to them
They were told to go home
It's not with you people that we're going to make a profit
For us a caribou is much more beautiful on a thirty sous
br/>And the guy from the company laughs in his beard
Who is the idiot who said that money doesn't grow on trees?
