Luyện nghe bài hát Loch Lomond

Notes: song is often played jauntily and used as a
representatively tune
in
films and computer (Lemmings 2 for example)
It better. The song is a lament for a lost love

killed in battle. He will now the "high road" (in
heaven) Moira (his love) stays on the "low road."
They will never meet again in life
but they
some day meet
far above the banks of Loch lomond.

O wither away my May(which direction) Sae late an' sae far in the gloamin' (so far) (Gloaming = dusk/twilight) The mist gathers grey o'er moorland and brae (hill) O wither sae far are ye roamin'?

O ye'll tak the high road an' I'll tak the low I'll be in Scotland afore ye For me and my true love will never meet again By the bonnie banks o' Loch Lomond

O well may I for yestreen in my sleep (yesterday), we stood bride and bridegroom together. But his arms and his breath were as cold as the death And his heart's blood ran red in the heather

I trusted my ain love last in the broom (own) (bush) My Donald wha' loves me sae dearly For the morrow he will march for Edinburgh toon (town) Tae fecht for his King and Prince Charlie (to fight)

(Chorus)

As dauntless in battle as tender in love He'd yield ne'er a foor toe the (enemy) But never again frae the field o' the slain (from) Tae his Moira will he come by Loch Lomond

The thistle may bloom, the King hae his ain (have his own) And fond lovers may meet in the gloamin' And me and my true love will yet meet Far above the bonnie banks of Loch Lomond

(Chorus)
