About this song: en.wikipedia.or...
English Translation :
A wandering Canadian,
Banished from his hearths,
Traveled through[,] while weeping[,]
foreign countries.
One day, sad and pensive,
Seated at the edge of the floods,
To the fugitive current,
He addressed these words:
"If you see my country,
My unhappy country,
Go say to my friends
That I remember them.
"O days so full of charm[s]
You have disappeared,
And my fatherland, alas!
I will see it no longer!
"No, but while expiring,
O my dear Canada!
My longing look
toward you will go..."
Thank you so much!

I was thinking of this song of yours today. Every year at some point I remember it and have to listen to it. Then Permafrost. Hope you're well.

@LambHoot 13 лет назад

hey, I just realized that you're from montreal! :P are you legit montreal though, or are you like me, a southshore-er who pretends to be a montrealer?

@lullation13 13 лет назад

@MyNotSoIntresingLife Maybe you figured out that I had a french-canadian accent because the song is called the wandering Canadian? :)

@ourintertwiningstars 12 лет назад

You know you're listening to top-notch music when you literally cannot understand it, but you think its beautiful anyways. This song is one of those :) Subscribed

@TomsEyeView The hiss is the sound of the organ pumping air through it's pipes!

@lullation13 13 лет назад

@lampposteffect Yes. But everyone is very ( And I mean VERY) Nice :)

@waterlily716 12 лет назад

i think you shoudl sing with bon iver... that would be lovely

@lullation13 12 лет назад

That movie is WHY I recorded this :) you canadian hipster...

@lullation13 11 лет назад

J'ai bien le droit d'aimer une chanson qui représente les souffrances d'un acadien exilé, sans toute fois haïr les britanniques d'aujourd'hui.

@heychrisfox 13 лет назад

There's so much sound in this song! I love it. It's like every part of one's auditory senses are consumed by sound. :] Also, I must say that I have a bit of a love affair with your Francophone singing.

@pengald 12 лет назад

You are the most beautiful person I think I have ever seen. And I don't just mean physically (although you are very very pretty). I mean your whole self. You as a person are a beautiful thing, and I wish only the best to you.

It's people like this that shouldn't be allowed to make music, it's unfair to the other kids. It's people like this you should hire to perform at your funeral to make sure people cry a satisfactory amount of tears. It's people like this that should be frozen, only to be unfrozen once every 20 years, to make sure every future generation can hear this. It's people like this that make words unecessary, it's communication through pure emotion. It's people like this that make life worth living.

@lullation13 i love that you are putting your awesome work on itunes, im buying every single one of your songs. may i ask, are your songs still free to be used on youtube videos by just letting you know about it? or are they now part of a label or something that will block them for copyright? i ask because your songs have been my favourite songs for video proyects even before the nerdfighter exposure. and i dont want to infringe your copyrights if they have change now that you sell your music

@wilsc 13 лет назад

The part in the lyrics about being in a foreign country, describes well the feeling of being away for canadians studying or working overseas. Great cover!

@iShannonCR 12 лет назад

Listening to this it sounds beautiful. It's sad I can't understand french, even though Im canadian. Is there maybe a chance, you could do an English version? :) Either way it sounded beautiful.

@AliceCyder 13 лет назад

Beautiful song. I've always wished I knew French. My grand-parents speak it fluently and my great grandmother was from Quebec. Even my mother knows a good bit of French, though she's forgotten a lot of it. I really wish they had continued the tradition of speaking French at home and English in school. Hopefully I'll get to take French classes again some day.

@awesomatorr10 13 лет назад

This is awesome! I would also like to say that maybe you should see if you can find a better tambourine because you can usually get one for under $20 and the sound of your tambourine takes away from the song. I found that the case especially in Astronauts and Tambourines

@PandasGoRawrr113 13 лет назад

In my Geography class, we got to send a letter to wherever we wanted to as part of a project. I chose to send mine to the Tourism Department of Montreal, Quebec. My friends all asked why I, a Texan, was sending a letter to Canada. I said simply, "Laurena." :)

@stickerlover164902 13 лет назад

Our comments make your day? Then if you read them: You're absolutely gorgeous. Your voice is amazing. Your song lyrics are even more amazing. Permafrost is my favorite song. You're one of my favorite artists. You're an amazingly amazing person.

@casperandhobbes 13 лет назад

Reasons why canada can't be bad : 1) they speak french and english, my 2 favourite languages 2) They have the most beautifull forests and landscapes in the world 3) They have Laurena/ Lullation13 who makes awesome music Now let's go buy that EP

@gangliums 13 лет назад

You are the prettiest, brightest, most beautiful thing I have seen all day (trust me you are in tough competition). Also you remind me of the feeling of lightness and the colour red. Both of which, for me, are VERY nostalgic. In short; thank you.

@mysss29 13 лет назад

Thank you so much for posting the lyrics to À Quelqu'un comme moi! It's so hard for me to understand French music that I couldn't even get past the first line. :( But I loved the title and the singing, and now I know what the words are! =)

@MissEmcat24 13 лет назад

Agh I don't even know French, but this is amazing

@dingoskidneys 13 лет назад

This is a great cover. Congrats on the popularity spike! You really deserve it for each song you've put up (realized that Permafrost is the perfect study song for me XD). MTL Nerdfighters unite! (Or GMA Nerdfighters, whatever :P ) DFTBA

@mockingjayphoenix 13 лет назад

Love this song, gives me all sorts of warm Canadian fuzzies. Also makes me feel super special that I can understand it without the translation :) Just bought your songs on itunes and have been listening to them all day!

@Quaffleface07 13 лет назад

Finally you have an itunes! Does this mean I have to delete all the songs I put on my ipod of yours with the album artwork I made? I guess so. Love the song, it's amazing, francias is such a beautiful language.

@ArcusLibri 12 лет назад

I gotta say, I got really happy when you had the plaid behind you because it's McEwen tartan and that's my mom's maiden name. I'm also Canadian so I already was pretty excited about the video :)

@Gringottone 12 лет назад

I think im comenting this video for the forth time. I just love your voice so much. I visit your chanel really often to check if you add something new. Cant say much more than you are great.

@punkolele 13 лет назад

i bought your EP on itunes, listen to it nonstop. ALBUM PLEASE! you and your music has kinda made me fall in love with canada. anyways thank you for bringing me joy by making sad music... :')

@MegaRedKite 13 лет назад

@lullation13 Sorry, I didn't mean anything by it, I just read the wikipedia link about the song, which described it being based on Canadians being exiled under British rule so I kinda thought...... :S

@Gshortstuff 13 лет назад

Haha I'm canadian and have been learning French for 9 years in school and I have no idea what she was singing about. But it sounded beautiful!!! How am I getting an A, I will never know....

@nerdfightersophie 12 лет назад

as someone stuck in a boarding school in NH... this songs speaks to me. It's not the same as being exiled obviously but all I want is to go home and I can't. I Miss montreal so much

@thegirlhistorian 13 лет назад

@lullation13 I get what you mean, but I think he's right: there is a mild grainy quality to the recording of your singing especially. Love love love love love love the song though.

@ThePotatomilkshake 13 лет назад

Love it! you and your music are wonderful! ever think of getting on bandcamp? its easier to get on than itunes and free . and other people can buy ur music. no need to be signed

@occlumencymaster 13 лет назад

Each of your songs really grows on you I feel like. The first time is like: this is okay and then by the 52nd time (how many times I have listened to Permafrost) you are totally obsessed

@bluetom13 13 лет назад

Other then being extremely pretty, obviously intelligent and cultured, and so amazingly talented you are pretty much.... No wait, that's it. I love what you do, you make me smile =]

@SSondiyazi 13 лет назад

I have spent the last 2 hours listening to this song on repeat, you're such a talented artist! All the best yeah.

@scribbler43 12 лет назад

You've become my new favorite artist... and I don't even speak french. You're beautiful, and your music is beautiful. Please go on brightening up the world this way.

@Alyssa-chow25 13 лет назад

I have been long-awaiting your iTunes debut! I've already listened to the three songs at least 50 times each. Obsessed? No, I'd prefer to call it: mesmerized. DFTBA.

@mayhawkins 13 лет назад

Seriously, you are one of my favorite artist now! I just love your music SO much! I was so happy when John mentioned how much he loved your videos! You are amazing! :D

@lullation13 13 лет назад

@MegaRedKite Anti-British?? I kinda love england.

@MrJohnyGoatzyn 13 лет назад

Oh i love the sound of this! Ahh.. Canada is so cool with their bilingualism! This song has really nice texture and sound.

@lackingcreativity4 12 лет назад

I wish you had the French lyrics not just the translation. I'd love to sing along in my awful french! You are a wonderful singer! I love all your songs!

@handsomejess 13 лет назад

I feel like Laurena and Tom Milsom should collaborate on a song. It would probably be the most beautiful music ever made. Amazing song, Laurena! :)

@halfpastzefreckle 13 лет назад

i don't know french, but this song really touched me. you have a beautiful voice, and i can't wait to spend some money on your songs, they' re worth it :D

@Alymesimar 13 лет назад

Is it odd that I didn't even care what it meant? your voice captured me, and I never bothered to see the lyrics till the end. Beautiful, just beautiful.

@MsBlooShoo 13 лет назад

Fabulous, like all of your others :) I bought everything you have up on iTunes and I've listened to Permafrost about 10 times in a row so far, haha.

@nlgallant835 13 лет назад

I was having a horrible day, and your video just being in my sub box cheered me up.... then I actually heard the song and my bad day has disappeared

@SabreMaiden 13 лет назад

I love that despite most of your newly found followers probably speak English, your first song afterwards is in your other native language. Go Laurena go!

@MrDobbyRocks 13 лет назад

I don't know what you're saying, but I have been tranfixed by the tune and video. I don't even want to know what you're signing, I just want hear it.

@fiveironscott 13 лет назад

when you put out a record on DFTBA please don't lose the DYI quality of your songs, they have such good personality.

@mirosango14 13 лет назад

your songs are wonderful! never stop, and I hope you become as popular as those big pop and rock artists! (for the right reasons, of course.) =)

@TheParadoxSocks 13 лет назад

I'm watching this on my phone because I'm on a road trip and looking out my window as your music is fed to my ears is truly incredible.

@raythegardener 13 лет назад

@profjaykay 13 лет назад

I just have to say that for some reason, in this particular video your eyes really stuck out an I love them. (I also love the music.)

@TheOnlyKarkar 13 лет назад

When I see RU-vid vids made my Canadians, it makes me excited. When I see videos like this it makes me proud. Keep the music coming!

@MyNotSoIntresingLife 13 лет назад

@awesomatorr10 13 лет назад

@jazmin2hip 13 лет назад

This almost made me tear up :3 I don't under stand it but one look at the translation and you almost got me crying! Goodjob!

@awesomatorr10 13 лет назад

Okay, now I think I have a problem. I should be doing a zillion things, instead I'm watching this video for the 100th time!

@WellGuessThreeTimes 13 лет назад

Beautiful :) I really enjoyed listening to this and I think you're very talented. I wish you all the luck for the future!

@TomsEyeView 13 лет назад

very nice songs, you should try and get a better recording mic so the songs dont have a 'hiss'' background noise to them.

@Rohanposter 13 лет назад

usdfkhjsfdkhjdkhj ( thats the sound of pure amazement) also DFTBA, but i doubt that will be hard

@henry.daniels 13 лет назад

I found you really awesome until I realized you speak french. Now you're simply incredible.(I'm french by the way ^^)

@Soupster011 13 лет назад

Every song is perfection, I literally cannot find one I don't like. Please keep up the work, you'll be famous one day.

@GlitterIsLikeHerpes 13 лет назад

Do you speak French? Do you live in a provence where it is spoken a lot? Because you seem very fluent in the lanuage.

@jullachris90 13 лет назад

I really like your style. I am happy that I found your music. I am looking forward to having more of it on my iPod :D.

@usurp28 13 лет назад

Canada should get some sort of nerdfighter gathering.. when that happens, you should be one of the headlining acts :)

@izzziwizzzi 13 лет назад

wow! i love your music so much! it is so amazing and makes me smile so much! :D thank you for making my day! :D

@happyrose80 13 лет назад

@MewK_ 13 лет назад

@lullation13 Any plans for Amazon MP3 or Bandcamp or something where I can just use PayPal?

@supermewis 13 лет назад

Also, I'm an expatriate (by choice, though) and yeah, that's how it feels on the bad days.
