Luyện nghe bài hát Bonnie Banks O' Loch Lomond

By yon banks and by yon bonnie braes,
Where the sun shines on Loch Lomon'.
where me and my true were ever wont to gae
On the bonnie, bonnie o' Loch Lomon'.

O tak' the high road and I'll tak the low road,
An' I'll be in afore ye;
But me and my true love will never again
On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Lomon'.
'Twas there we parted in yon shady glen,
On the steep, side o' Ben Lomon',
Where in purple hue the Hieland we view,
An' the moon out in the gloamin'.
(chorus)
The wee birdies sing and the wild spring,
And in sunshine the are sleepin';
But the broken it kens nae second spring,
the waefu' may cease frae their greetin'
(chorus)
composer's unknown

Lomon' is for Lomond, it is probably spelled this way to allow
the second to rhyme.
There are a number of variations to this song, probably the well known
Scottish song after 'auld syne'.
The song was written by a young soldier to his sweetheart. Two
of Bonnie Prince Charlies soldiers were in Carlisle after the
abortive rising of 1745. One wrote the song, the other was and
took it back to Scotland to to his colleagues sweetheart. The low
road to the soldiers impending death and the path of his spirit,
the high road is either the sign of hope for which he sacrificed
his life, or the actual road back to Scotland over the rugged hills.
Hence, his spirit would return via the low and be back in Scotland
first.
