作曲 : Hugh Shrapnel
I am an immigrant from India
I hail from the land of five rivers
I came to work in Montreal eleven years ago
In the now sagging sector of textiles
They told me nineteen hundred and sixty eight
That if I took this opportunity to better myself
I could afford the immigration authorities
And land myself in Montreal
So I came young, enthusiastic
Ready to work for anything
Yes to work for anything
Today with a wife and three children
They tell me that textiles have run away to South Korea
And I sit on Park Avenue
Looking at the giant cross on the hill
Symbol of Christian piety
Unemployed
Harassed by the goons of the government ministers
Cursed from all sides
My wife, my children and myself
We wonder when it will all end
We wonder when it will all end
