Lyrics
Des gens en mouvement
Au rythme du temps
Des musiciens, des artisans
Toujours grandissant
Toujours de l'avant
De la rivière au St-Laurent
Refrain
Vanier c'est pour toi cette chanson
Qu'on la chante, qu'on l'entende à l'horizon
Tant de souvenirs et tant de rêves à venir
la ville des mille et un sourires
Au coeur du pays
Au coeur de nos vies
On y retrouve tous nos amis
Un air d'été
Un air de fierté
Un air que tout le monde peut chanter
