Skye boat song



Traditional - Skye boat song - текст песни (слова)

1. 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. 
 
 2. Loud the winds howl, loud the waves roar
 [Thunder clouds] rend the air
 Baffled our foe's stand on the shore
 [Follow they] will not dare. 
 
 3. Though the waves leap, soft shall ye sleep
 Ocean's a royal bed
 Rocked in the deep, Flora will keep
 [Watch by your] weary head. 
 
 4. Many's the lad fought on that day
 [Well the] claymore could wield
 When the night came, silently lay
 Dead on Culloden's field. 
 
 5. Burned are our homes, exile and death
 [Scatter the] loyal men
 Yet, e'er the sword cool in the sheath
 Charlie will come again.
