Do you remember the good years in Canaan?   The summers were endlessly gold   The fields were a patchwork of clover   The winters were never too cold      We'd stroll down the boulevards together   And everything round us was fine   Now the fields are dead and bare   No joie de vivre anywhere   Et maintenant we drink a bitter wine      Those Canaan days we used to know   Where have they gone, where did they go?   Eh bien, raise your berets to those Canaan days      Do you remember those wonderful parties?   The splendor of Canaan's cuisine   Our extravagant, elegant soirees   The gayest the Bible has seen      It's funny but since we lost Joseph   We've gone to the other extreme   No one comes to dinner now, we'd only eat them anyhow   I even find I'm missing Joseph's dreams      Those Canaan days we used to know   Where have they gone, where did they go?   Eh bien, raise your berets to those Canaan days      It's funny but since we lost Joseph   We've gone to the other extreme   Perhaps we all misjudged the lad   Perhaps he wasn't quite that bad   And how we miss his entertaining dreams      Those Canaan days we used to know   Where have they gone, where did they go?   Eh bien, raise your berets to those Canaan days   Eh bien, raise your berets to those Canaan days
