Couchiching

There's a town they call Orillia
It is there of which I sing
It is just above Lake Simcoe
By Lake Couchiching

Couchiching, Couchiching, by Lake Couchiching
Coo-oou-chi-ching, by Lake Couchiching
Couchiching, Couchiching, by Lake Couchiching
Coo-oo-oou-chi-ching

Across the raging Narrows
Casino Rama stands
Where there once were only sparrows
People come from other lands
To the west lie hills aplenty
If skiing is your thing
You can while away the summer
By Lake Couchiching

Couchiching, Couchiching, by Lake Couchiching
Coo-oou-chi-ching, by Lake Couchiching
Couchiching, Couchiching, by Lake Couchiching
Coo-oo-oou-chi-ching

In Orillia they had movies
And sports and music too
And all around the shore line
Were the folks that we all knew

Couchiching, Couchiching, by Lake Couchiching

Couchiching, Couchiching, by Lake Couchiching
Coo-oo-oou-chi-ching

Now I've spent my life in travel
Now I've spent my life in dust
Now I've spent my life in family
Now I've spent my life in trust
Any way you'd like to cut it
It'll hit you with a ping
When you think about Orillia
And it's by Lake Couchiching

Couchiching, Couchiching, by Lake Couchiching
Coo-oo-oou-chi-ching

When I get my final slumber
When I pawn my diamond ring
I will do my final number
By Lake Couchiching

Couchiching

Hay un pueblo que llaman Orillia
Es allí de lo que canto
Está justo arriba del Lago Simcoe
Junto al Lago Couchiching

Couchiching, Couchiching, junto al Lago Couchiching
Coo-oou-chi-ching, junto al Lago Couchiching
Couchiching, Couchiching, junto al Lago Couchiching
Coo-oo-oou-chi-ching

A través de los furiosos Estrechos
Se alza el Casino Rama
Donde antes solo había gorriones
La gente viene de otras tierras
Al oeste hay colinas en abundancia
Si el esquí es lo tuyo
Puedes pasar el verano
Junto al Lago Couchiching

Couchiching, Couchiching, junto al Lago Couchiching
Coo-oou-chi-ching, junto al Lago Couchiching
Couchiching, Couchiching, junto al Lago Couchiching
Coo-oo-oou-chi-ching

En Orillia tenían películas
Y deportes y música también
Y alrededor de la costa
Estaban las personas que todos conocíamos

Couchiching, Couchiching, junto al Lago Couchiching
Coo-oou-chi-ching, junto al Lago Couchiching
Couchiching, Couchiching, junto al Lago Couchiching
Coo-oo-oou-chi-ching

Ahora he pasado mi vida viajando
Ahora he pasado mi vida en el polvo
Ahora he pasado mi vida en familia
Ahora he pasado mi vida en confianza
De cualquier manera que quieras verlo
Te golpeará con un zumbido
Cuando pienses en Orillia
Y está junto al Lago Couchiching

Couchiching, Couchiching, junto al Lago Couchiching
Coo-oou-chi-ching, junto al Lago Couchiching
Couchiching, Couchiching, junto al Lago Couchiching
Coo-oo-oou-chi-ching

Cuando llegue mi último sueño
Cuando empeñe mi anillo de diamantes
Haré mi número final
Junto al Lago Couchiching

Couchiching, Couchiching, junto al Lago Couchiching
Coo-oou-chi-ching, junto al Lago Couchiching
Couchiching, Couchiching, junto al Lago Couchiching
Coo-oo-oou-chi-ching
