Roch the win i the clear day's dawin • Blaws the clouds heilster-gowdie owre the bay • But thair's mair nor a roch win blawin • Thro the Great Glen o the warl the day • It's a thocht that wad gar our rottans • Aa thae rogues that gang gallus fresh an gay • Tak the road an seek ither loanins • Wi thair ill-ploys tae sport an play • • Nae mair will our bonnie callants • Merch tae war whan our braggarts crousely craw • Nor wee weans frae pitheid an clachan • Murn the ships sailin doun the Broomielaw • Broken faimilies in launs we've hairriet • Will curse 'Scotlan the Brave' nae mair, nae mair • Black an white ane-til-ither mairriet • Mak the vile barracks o thair maisters bare • • Sae come aa ye at hame wi freedom • Never heed whit the houdies croak for Doom • In yer hous aa the bairns o Aidam • Will fin breid, barley-bree an paintit room • Whan MacLean meets wi's friens in Springburn • Aa thae roses an geeans will turn tae blume • An a black laud frae yont Nyanga • Dings the fell gallows o the burghers doun. • • • Translation • • It's a rough wind in the clear day's dawning • Blows the clouds head-over-heels across the bay • But there's more than a rough wind blowing • Through the Great Glen of the world today • • It's a thought that would make our rodents, • • All those rogues who strut and swagger, • Take the road and seek other pastures • To carry out their wicked schemes • • No more will our fine young men • March to war at the behest of jingoists and imperialists • • Nor will young children from mining communities and rural hamlets • Mourn the ships sailing off down the River Clyde • • Broken families in lands we've helped to oppress • will never again have reason to curse the sound of advancing Scots • • Black and white, united in friendship and marriage, • Will result in the military garrisons being adandoned and empty • • So come all you who love freedom • Pay no attention to the prophets of doom • • In your house all the children of Adam • Will be welcomed with food, drink and hospitality • • When the spirit of John MacLean returns to his people • • All the flowers will blossom • And black Africa will bring crashing down • All Imperialism's dreadful apparatus of oppression. • • http://www.soundsirish.com/search/?pi...
