I<\/strong>
Sarnia; dear Homeland, Gem of the sea.
Island of beauty, my heart longs for thee.
Thy voice calls me ever, in waking, or sleep,
Till my soul cries with anguish, my eyes ache to weep.
In fancy I see thee, again as of yore,
Thy verdure clad hills and thy wave beaten shore.
Thy rock sheltered bays, ah; of all thou art best,
I’m returning to greet thee, dear island of rest.
Chorus:<\/strong>
Sarnia Cherie. Gem of the sea.
Home of my childhood, my heart longs for thee.
Thy voice calls me ever, forget thee I’ll never,
Island of beauty. Sarnia Cherie.

I left thee in anger, I knew not thy worth.
Journeyed afar, to the ends of the earth.
Was told of far countries, the heav’n of the bold,
Where the soil gave up diamonds, silver and gold.
The sun always shone, and “race” took no part,
But thy cry always reached me, its pain wrenched my heart.
So I’m coming home, thou of all art the best.
Returning to greet thee, dear island of rest.

Sarnia, chi\u00e8re patrie, bijou d’la ma\u00efr,
Ile plloinne d\u00e9 biautai, dans d’iaoue si cllaire
Ta vouaix m’appeule terjous, mon tcheur plloin d’envie,
Et mon \u00e2me t\u00e9 crie en poine, mes iars voudraient t’veis.
Quaend j’saonge, j’t\u00e9 vaie derchier, mesme comme t’\u00e9tais d’v\u00e0nt,
Tes c\u00f4tis si vaerts et ton sabllaon si bll\u00e0nc,
Tes b\u00e0nques et tes rotchets. Ah! D\u00e9 toutes la pus belle.
Mon r\u00e9fuge et mon r’pos, chi\u00e8re \u00eele qu’est si belle.
Chorus:<\/strong>
Sarnia Ch\u00e9rie, ma chi\u00e8re patrie,

S\u00e0ns saver ta valeur, j’m’en fus en col\u00e8re,
Je v’yagis si llian, \u00e0 l’aute but d\u00e9 la terre.
I m’dirent d\u00e9 biaux pays, et j’m’en fus br\u00e2ment
Oueque la terre baillait \u00e0 haut d’l’or et d\u00e9 l’argent.
Nous ‘tait tous amis et i fit bal chaque jeur,
Mais ta vouaix m’applait terjours, a m’d\u00e9teurtait l’tcheur.
Ch’est pourtchi qu\u00e9 j’m’en vians. Ah! t\u00e9 veis, la millaeure.
Ma chi\u00e8re \u00eele d\u00e9 r\u00e9pos, d\u00e9 chenna j’sis saeure.
