Valse écossaise

Soubenn au Fest Deiz de Ploemel (56) le 7 avril 2019

Soubenn au Vent du Large le 10 novembre 2019

What’s the spring breathing jasmine and rose
What’s the summer with all its gay train
What’s the splendour of autumn to those
Who’ve bartered their freedom for gain

Let the love of our land’s sacred rights
To the love of our people succeed
Let friendship and honour unite
And flourish on both sides the Tweed

No sweetness the senses can cheer
Which corruption and bribery bind
No brightness the sun can e’er clear
For honour’s the sum of the mind

Let virtue distinguish the brave
Place riches in lowest degree
Think them poorest who can be a slave
Them richest who dare to be free
