Je vis près de la rivière où tu m'as donné vie.
Loin de la mer, loin de l'ennui,
Je vis près de la rivière où tu m'as tout appris,
Pour que jamais je ne t'oublie.

Tu grimpes les montagnes, braves les ouragans,
Chasses les hommes, protèges ton sang.
Tu grimpes les montagnes, transportes nos tourments,
Pousses le mal dans les courants.

Je resterai là où le vent ne me pousse pas,
à craindre le temps qui nous sépare.
Je resterai là où le vent me ramène à toi,
Par la rivière que je te dois.

It felt so much like "Under the Milky Way" by The Church.  The intro and start of the song made me think it was a cover of that song.

Enjoyed it in spite of the similarities.

Something in this tune reminds me of In Liverpool by Suzanne Vega

The wikipedia entry of this band:

This is a list of fictional bears that appear in video games, film, television, animation, comics and literature. This also includes pandas, but not the unrelated red panda species. The list is limited to notable, named characters. This list is a subsidiary to the List of fictional animals article.

A french tune from Quebec !!! I am completely astonished.
Bill, could we have more of them please?
 Yes. One of the best features of RP is the collection of international offerings. Depth you seldom see in a market obsessed with Western culture myopically.

No, I have too....and I would swear it was here on RP.

I can not understand the lyrics... but language somehow resonates.  Upon hearing this song, I instantly thought about the show I saw just last night... documentary on the Indri bear.  EnvironmentalConservation type doc...   with same British dude 'documenting' this animal from his early career till current.  Wish I had the link for the show.    Peace attracted to Peace.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indri

I live near the river where you gave me life.
Far from the sea, far from boredom,
I live near the river where you taught me everything,
So that I will never forget you.

You climb mountains, brave hurricanes,
Hunt men, protect your blood.
You climb the mountains, transport our torments,
Push the evil in the currents.

I will stay where the wind does not push me,
to fear the time that separates us.
I will stay where the wind brings me back to you,
By the river that I owe you.

As someone who isn't used to hearing French Canadian, the accent is still very obvious.

I see that many Quebecers listen to RP, which also proves that we have distinguished tastes from the musical point of view in Quebec. Thank you for this song Bill !!

It always surprises me when I discover beautiful music from my home town on RP.
It's like it took a 5,000 mile roundtrip to reach my ears from just down the block...

Thanx from Montréal. This song was a very nice surprise. Toujours agréable d'entendre de la musique en français. You should listen to another band from Montréal: Karwa. Totally RP material.

French dudes have no choice. They often do it in english for survival purposes. Hence the name of the band

Lovely. Like its namesake, a flowing river. These guys don't seem to be native French speakers, but they pull it off nicely.
