Lila, Lila, there's no time
There's no time
Soldiers will take you away
To a place I'll search 'til my dying day
This flower blows in the same wind
That fills the sails of the English ship you'll be in
Lila, Lila, I will see ya
Lila, Lila, there's no crime in cryin'
These pages write cages onto this land with a gun in hand
But I hear Acadian laughter from long before, for long after
Lila, Lila, I will see ya
Lila, Lila
I could get up and fight
They'll wipe us out of sight
But what good is it to try
Be a hero and die?
There's other tears to fall
Than from my own war cry
Lila, Lila
Will your name still be Lila?
And when I see you that day
Will you remember Grand Pré?
Lila, I will see ya
Lila, Lila
I will
I will see
I will
I will see
I will...
