"Un Canadien errant" ("A Wandering Canadian") is a song written in 1842 by Antoine Gérin-Lajoie after the Lower Canada Rebellion of 1837–38. Some of the rebels were condemned to death, others forced into exile to the United States and as far as Australia. Gérin-Lajoie wrote the song, about the pain of exile, while taking his classical exams at the Séminaire de Nicolet. The song has become a patriotic anthem for certain groups of Canadians who have at a point in their history experienced the pain of exile. In addition to those exiled following the Lower Canada Rebellion, it has come to hold particular importance for the rebels of the Upper Canada Rebellion, and for the Acadians, who suffered mass deportation from their homeland in the Great Upheaval between 1755 and 1763.

| - Un Canadien errant est une chanson écrite en 1842 par Antoine Gérin-Lajoie après la Rébellion du Bas-Canada de 1837-1838, lors de laquelle certains des rebelles ont été condamnés à mort et d'autres ont été exilés aux États-Unis et en Australie. Cette œuvre a connu un succès retentissant mais aussi durable ; dès 1865, Ernest Gagnon l’a incluse dans une anthologie de chansons folkloriques. Gérin-Lajoie a écrit la chanson sur le thème de la peine de l'exil en passant ses examens classiques au Séminaire de Nicolet. Le texte a été inspiré à Gérin-Lajoie lorsqu’il avait seize ans. C’était en 1839, au cœur de la Rébellion des Patriotes. Le jeune garçon avait été témoin, à Cap-Diamant, du départ vers le large d’un grand voilier, à bord duquel 141 patriotes étaient enchaînés, condamnés à l’exil à 10 000 km de leur foyer, en Australie. Le jeune Antoine, profondément touché, écrit alors une première version de ce qui deviendra Le Canadien errant. (fr)
