| Scots' Music |
| Theid Mi Dhachaidh |
| A simple brief thought on Scottish Independance. Were the outdated union not of some very high value to England and the English, why would they fight so to try to keep it? There are only so many slices to a pie, for one to have more, another must have less. Lastly - to those Scottish "Loyalists" - to whom are you loyal? Scots royalty died in the 1700's so it can be no Scots crown - And certainly not it appears to those who came before, that bled for Scotland and her freedom ! |
| In the words of Burns, as he wrote from the heart. Scots, wha hae wi' Wallace bled, Scots, wham Bruce has aften led, Welcome to your gory bed, Or to victorie. Now's the day, and now's the hour; See the front o' battle lour; See approach proud Edward's power, Chains and slaverie. Wha would be a traitor-knave? Wha can fill a coward's grave? Wha sae base as be a Slave? Let him turn and flie: Wha for Scotland's king and law, Freedom's sword will strongly draw, Free-man stand, or free-man fa', Let him follow me. By Oppression's woes and pains! By your Sons in servile chains! We will drain our dearest veins, But they shall be free! Lay the proud Usurpers low! Tyrants fall in every foe! Liberty's in every blow! Let us Do - or Die!!! Choose your destiny. |
Gaelic lyrics to "Theid Mi Dhachaidh", or "Cro Chinn T-Saile " (Courtesy of An Comunn Gaidhealach, many thanks to them for their kindness) Se/ist Theid mi dhachaidh ho ro dhachaidh, Theid mi dhachaidh chro\ Chin t-Sa\ile, Theid mi dhachaidh ho ro dhachaidh, Theid mi dhachaidh chro\ Chinn t-Sa\ile. Rann 1 Theid mi fhi\n, leam fhi\n, leam fhi\n ann, Theid mi fhi\n, leam fhi\n a Gea\rrloch, Theid mi fhi\n, leam fhi\n, leam fhi\n ann 'S gabhaidh mi 'n rathad mo/r Chinn t-Sa\ile. Rann 2 Bi mi nochd am buaile Phearsain, Bi mi 'n a chuid mhart am ma\ireach. Bi mi nochd am buaile Phearsain, Bi mi 'n a chuid mhart am ma\ireach. English lyrics, from Talitha MacKenzie's "So/las" CD I will go home I will go home to the cattlefold of Kintail. I will go home I will go home to the cattlefold of Kintail. I will go myself, by myself, there I will go myself, by myself to Gairloch. I will go myself, by myself, there I will take the high road to Kintail. Tonight I will be in the parson's cattlefold, Tomorrow I will be with the cattle headed for the slaughter Tonight I will be in the parson's cattlefold, Tomorrow I will be with the cattle headed for the slaughter. |
