skye boat song

• son jacobite isyanını anlatan duygusal bir iskoç balladı. ilginç yönü bir ninni bestesine yazılmış olmasıdır.
  
  (chorus)
  speed bonnie boat like a bird on the wing
  onward the sailors cry
  carry the lad that's born to be king
  over the sea to skye
  
  loud the wind howls, loud the waves roar,
  thunderclaps rend the air
  baffled our foes, stand by the shore
  follow they will not dare
  
  chorus
  many's the lad fought on that day
  well the claymore did wield
  when the night came, silently lain
  dead on culloden field
  
  chorus
  though the waves heave, soft will ye sleep
  ocean's a royal bed
  rocked in the deep, flora will keep
  watch by your weary head
  
  chorus
  burned are our homes, exile and death
  scatter the loyal men
  yet e'er the sword cool in the sheath
  charlie will come again.
  
  chorus
