It was in the spring this year of grace, with new life pushing through,
That I looked from the Citadel down to the Narrows and asked what it's coming to.
I saw Upper Canadian concrete and glass right down to the water line.
I have heard an old song down on Fisherman's Wharf,
Can I sing it just one time?
With half-closed eyes against the sun, for the warm wind giving thanks,
I dreamed of the years of the deep-laden schooners thrashing home from the Grand Banks.
The last lies done in the harbour sun with her picture on a dime,
But I heard an old song down on Fisherman's Wharf,
Can I sing it just one time?
Can I sing it just one time?
CHORUS:
Then haul away and heave her home. This song is heard no more
No boats to sing it for. No sails to sing it for.
There rises now a single tide of tourists passing through.
We traded old ways for the new, old ways for the new,
Old ways for the new, for the new.
Now you ask "What's this romantic boy who laments what's done and gone?
There was no romance on a cold winter ocean and the gale sang an awful song."
But my fathers knew of wind and tide, and my blood is maritime,
And I heard an old song down on Fisherman's Wharf.
Can I sing it just one time?
Can I sing it just one time?
CHORUS
(Repeat first verse)
Stan Rogers (1949-1983) was a highly talented and sensitive Canadian singer-songwriter. Born in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Rogers began his musical career in the 1970s, quickly gaining popularity for his folk songs that told stories of everyday life, seafaring, and Canadian traditions. His warm and reassuring voice, combined with his unmistakable acoustic guitar sound, made him one of Canada's most beloved singer-songwriters. Rogers released several successful albums, including "North Country Blues" (1978) and "Fogarty's Cove" (1980), which feature classic songs like "The Mary Ellen Carter", "Barrett's Privateering", and "Northwest Passage". His music helped to spread Canadian culture worldwide, leaving a lasting musical legacy. Rogers died tragically in 1983 at the age of 34, but his music continues to be listened to and enjoyed by generations of fans.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
