Flower of Scotland |  |
|
I O flower of Scotlandwhen will we see Your like again That fought and died for Your wee bit hill and glen That stood against him Proud Edward's army And sent him homeward Tae think again
II The hills are bare nowAnd Autumn leaves lie thick and still O' er land that is lost now Which those so dearly held That stood against him Proud Edward's army And sent him homeward Tae think again
III Those days are past nowAnd in the past they must remain But we can still rise now And be a nation again That stood against him Proud Edward's army And sent him homeward Tae think again
Roy Williamson hat das Lied geschrieben und damit unbewußt oder bewußt die Kraft und auch das ganze Gefühl Schottlands für seine werte und seine Vergangenheit eingefangen. Ein Lied in der Tradition der Jakobiter voller Kampfgeist. Und so ist es auch kein Wunder, daßdieses Lied eine Art heimlicher Nationalhymne wurde, welches unter anderem bei Football-Spielen erklingt und auch sonst eigentlich nirgends fehlt, wo Schottlands Geist vertreten ist. |
