Nous sommes forts

D’cœur, d’esprit, d’corps

Nous apaisons

Réconfortons

Nous sommes forts

Pas invincibles

Parfois nos torts

Sont indicibles

La vie s’éteint

Souffle on retient

C’est le train-train

D’not’ quotidien

Quand l’orage frappe

L’écorce s’émousse

La branche craque

Not’ cime repousse

Nous sommes forts

Pour le rester

Gardons le fort

Solide ar’té

We are strong

Heart, body and soul

Ever in action

Always with compassion

We are strong

Not invincible

Sometimes our wrongs

Are inexpressible

Life comes and goes

Our breath we hold

But in our field, it’s natural

Business as usual

When the storm hits

Branches split

Bark is ripped

Yet we persist

We are strong

But to stay the course

We need to guard the fort

With solidarity as our force

Competing interests

None declared.
