Acadia my homeland
To your name I draw myself
My life, my faith belong to you
You will protect me
You will protect me
Acadia my homeland
My land and my challenge
From near, from far you hold onto me
My heart is Acadian
My heart is Acadian
Acadia my homeland
I live your history
I owe you my pride
I believe in your future
I believe in your future
