Luyện nghe bài hát Loch Lomond

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

killed in battle. He now take the "high road" (in
heaven) while (his love) stays on the "low road."
They will meet again in this life
but will
day meet again
far above the banks of Loch lomond.

O wither away my bonnie May(which direction) Sae late an' sae far in the gloamin' (so far) (Gloaming = dusk/twilight) The mist gathers 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 again By the bonnie bonnie banks o' Loch Lomond

O well may I weep 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 ran red in the heather

I trusted my ain love last night in the (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 foeman (enemy) But never again frae the field o' the slain (from) Tae his 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 And me and my true love will yet meet again Far above the bonnie banks of Loch Lomond

(Chorus)
