<br>

Simeon <br>

<br>

Do you remember the good years in Canaan?<br>

The summers were endlessly gold<br>

The fields were a patchwork of clover<br>

The winters were never too cold<br>

We'd stroll down the boulevards together<br>

And averything round us was fine <br>

Jacob <br>

<br>

Now the fileds are dead and bare<br>

No joie de vivre anywhere<br>

Et maintenant we drink a bitter wine <br>

Brothers <br>

<br>

Those Canaan days we used to know<br>

Where have they gone, where did they go?<br>

Eh bien, raise your berets<br>

To those Canaan days <br>

Simeon <br>

<br>

Do you remember those wonderful parties?<br>

The splendour of Canaan's cuisine<br>

Our extravagant, elegant soirees<br>

The gayest the Bible has seen <br>

It's funny but since we lost Joseph<br>

We've gone to the other extreme<br>

No-one comes to dinner now<br>

We only eat them anyhow<br>

I even find I'm missing Joseph's dreams <br>

<br>

Brothers <br>

<br>

Those Canaan days we used to know<br>

Where have they gone, where did they go?<br>

Eh bien, raise your berets<br>

To those Canaan days <br>

Simeon <br>

<br>

It's funny but since we lost Joseph<br>

We've gone to the other extreme<br>

Perhaps we all misjudged the lad<br>

Perhaps he wasn't quite that bad<br>

And how we miss his entertaining dreams <br>

Brothers <br>

<br>

Those Canaan days we used to know<br>

Where have they gone, where did they go?<br>

Eh bien, raise your berets <br>

Simeon <br>

<br>

To those Canaan days <br>

Brothers <br>

<br>

Eh bien, raise your berets<br>

To those Canaan days<br>

<br>
