"O Canada" is the national anthem of Canada. The song was originally commissioned by Lieutenant Governor of Quebec Théodore Robitaille for the 1880 Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day ceremony; Calixa Lavallée wrote the music as a setting of a French Canadian patriotic poem composed by poet and judge Sir Adolphe-Basile Routhier. The lyrics were originally in French and translated into English in 1906.Robert Stanley Weir wrote in 1908 another English version, one that is not a literal translation of the French. Weir's lyrics have been revised twice, taking their present form in 1980, but the French lyrics remain unaltered. "O Canada" had served as a de facto national anthem since 1939, officially becoming Canada's national anthem in 1980, when the Act of Parliament making it so received Royal Assent and became effective on July 1 as part of that year's Dominion Day celebrations.-------------Ô Canada est l'hymne national du Canada. La musique a été écrite par Calixa Lavallée, et les paroles par sir Adolphe-Basile Routhier. Il a été chanté pour la première fois le 24 juin 1880 lors d'une célébration de la Saint-Jean-Baptiste dans la ville de Québec, mais n'est devenu l'hymne national du Canada que le 1er juillet 1980.--------
O Canada!
Our home and native land!
True patriot live in all thy sons command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!
From far and wide,
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

Ô Canada! Terre de nos aïeux,
Ton front est ceint de fleurons glorieux.
Car ton bras sait porter l'épée,
Il sait porter la croix;
Ton histoire est une épopée
Des plus brillants exploits
Et ta valeur de foi trempée,
Protégera nos foyers et nos droits,
Protégera nos foyers et nos droits.
