La chanson évoque la vie des habitants de la Baie d'Hermitages, où des cétacés évoluent librement, symbolisant un monde à la fois simple et sauvage. Les paroles racontent l'histoire de pêcheurs qui, malgré les changements et les départs vers des régions plus stables comme Calgary, sont liés à leur terre et à leurs racines maritimes. Les hommes se vantent de leur travail et des gains qu'ils espèrent, tout en faisant face aux souvenirs des ancêtres qui ont vécu et lutté dans ces mêmes terres. Le contexte met en lumière le contraste entre la vie traditionnelle liée à la mer et les nouvelles réalités économiques qui poussent les gens à migrer. Pourtant, au cœur de tout cela, la majesté des baleines, libres dans le port, demeure un symbole puissant d’un héritage naturel, loin des préoccupations humaines.
