Scene from "The Song of Leonard Cohen", 1980 movie directed by the Canadian film-maker Harry Rasky.
The clip shows Leonard Cohen on his balcony in Montreal in 1979, listening to the demo tape of his 1979 album Recent Songs and translating the French song "Un Canadien Errant" while listening to the recording. Hazel Field, the photographer or Recent Songs art cover, brings him coffee. In the end, Cohen is shown in Parc du Portugal in his neighborhood.

Who sings that version of Un Canadien Errant that he translates?

The whole maritimes should be reunited and called once again ACADIA.

@Policier911 It's true. A lot of people don't realize that Canadian means those who lived along the fleuve St-Laurent (as well as their townships). And of course those people were not orginally nor generally anglophones or even acadiens but the québécois.

A P.O.W. of Dieppe named Lucien Dumais whistled the tune of this song in an attempt to find his fellow soldiers after he escaped from a German train. This song means so much for Canada and Quebec.

La «Canadien errant» en question n'est pas un Canadien dans le sens contemporain. Il s'agit de l'ancienne désignation que se donnaient les Canadiens français qui, majoritairement regroupés au Québec aujourd'hui, ont choisi de s'appeler Québécois après s'être fait piller leur identité et leurs symboles historiques par le Canada.
