Why Did all the Seniors Die

Lyrics by: Margaret Godbeer and Lise Bernier
Gaggle: Montreal Raging Grannies
Tune: Where Have all the Flowers Gone

Why did all the seniors die
During this pandemic
Why did all the seniors die
Many from neglect
Why did all the seniors die
Died from a lack of care
What have we learned from this?
What have we learned from this?

Pourquoi fallait-il qu’ils meurent
Seuls et sans mêm’ un adieu
Pourquoi fallait-il qu’ils meur’
Sans personn’ autour d’eux
Pourquoi fallait-il qu’ils meur‘
On les a abandonnés
Qu’allons-nous fair’ maint’nant
Qu’allons-nous fair’ maint’nant

What will our government do
To make their lives matter
What will our government change
To make their lives count
What will the government do
To make sure no more lives are lost
What have they learned from this?
What have they learned from this?

C’est le temps d’changer les chos’
Pour ne pas les oublier
C’est le temps d’changer les chos’
Pour nos ainés bien-aimés
Que feront nos dirigeants
Pour mieux protéger nos ainés
Que feront nos dirigeants
Ont-ils enfin compris
