Scotland The Brave

Pagina 500 • Engelstalige liederen

Hark when the night is falling.

Hear! Hear the pipes are calling,

Loudly and proudly calling down through the glenn.

There where the hills are sleeping,

Now feel the blood a-leaping,

High as the spirit

Of the old Highland men.

Towering in gallant fame

Scotland my mountain home

High may your proud standards gloriously wave.

Land of my high endeavour,

Land of the shining river,

Land of my heart for ever,

Scotland the Brave.

High in the misty Highlands,

Out by the purple islands.

Brave are the hearts that beat beneath Scottish skies.

Wild are the winds to meet you,

Staunch are the friends that greet you,

Kind as the love that shines

From fair maiden's eyes.

Refrein wordt tweemaal gezongen.
