THIS IS THE STORY

This is the story that we have to tell (repeat)
Ti rouli rataplan, that we have to tell, rataplan, plan, plan.

If we speak the language of our forefathers...
If we pray the same prayers...
If we sing our mother's songs...
It's because the old folks knew how to wage war...
What they did, we have to do too... [Translation]



Union song of the Association d'Éducation des Canadiens français du Manitoba (Education Association of Manitoba French Canadians). Words by Father Lucien Hardy s.j. to a folk tune in the 1940s.
