Phil Coulter - Loch Lomond [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

BY YON BONNIE BANKS, AND BY YON BONNIE BRAES
WHERE THE SUN SHINES BRIGHT ON LOCH LOMOND
WHERE ME AND MY TRUE LOVE WERE EVER WANT TO GAE
ON THE BONNIE, BONNIE BANKS OF LOCH LOMOND
O, YE'LL TAKE THE HIGH ROAD, AND I'LL TAKE THE LOW ROAD
AND I'LL BE IN SCOTLAND AFORE YE'
BUT ME AND MY TRUE LOVE WILL NEVER MEET AGAIN
ON THE BONNIE, BONNIE BANKS OF LOCH LOMOND
TWAS THEN THAT WE PARTED, IN YON SHADY GLEN
ON THE STEEP, STEEP SIDE O' BEN LOMOND
WHERE IN PURPLE HUE, THE HIGHLAND HILLS WE VIEW
AND THE MOON COMING OUT IN THE GLOAMING
LOCH LOMOND IS AN OLD SCOTTISH FOLK TUNE, DATING BACK TO 1742
THE WORDS ARE ATTRIBUTED TO
LADY JOHN SCOTT OF EDINBURGH WHO
ADAPTED THE LYRICS IN 1838
O, YE'LL TAKE THE HIGH ROAD, AND I'LL TAKE THE LOW ROAD
AND I'LL BE IN SCOTLAND AFORE YE'
BUT ME AND MY TRUE LOVE WILL NEVER MEET AGAIN
ON THE BONNIE, BONNIE BANKS OF LOCH LOMOND
THE WEE BIRDIE SANG, AND THE WILD FLOWERS SPRING
AND IN SUNSHINE THE WATERS ARE SLEEPING
BUT THE BROKEN HEART IT KENS, NAE SECOND SPRING AGAIN
THOUGH THE WAEFUL MAY CEASE FROM THEIR GREETING
O, YE'LL TAKE THE HIGH ROAD, AND I'LL TAKE THE LOW ROAD
AND I'LL BE IN SCOTLAND AFORE YE'
BUT ME AND MY TRUE LOVE WILL NEVER MEET AGAIN
ON THE BONNIE, BONNIE BANKS OF LOCH LOMOND
