PER VOI, GIACOBITI

O voi cosiddetti Giacobiti , state a sentire, state a sentire
O voi cosiddetti Giacobiti , state a sentire.
O voi cosiddetti Giacobiti,
Proclamerò i vostri errori,
E biasimerò le vostre dottrine,
Lo sentirete, lo sentirete!
Biasimerò le vostre dottrine, lo sentirete!


Ciò che è giusto e sbagliato per la legge, per la legge,
Ciò che è giusto e sbagliato per la legge,
Ciò che è giusto e sbagliato,
Una spada corta o una lunga,
Un braccio debole o uno forte
Da sguainare, da sguainare,
Un braccio debole o forte da sguainare

O voi cosiddetti Giacobiti , state a sentire, state a sentire
O voi cosiddetti Giacobiti , state a sentire.
O voi cosiddetti Giacobiti,
Proclamerò i vostri errori,
E biasimerò le vostre dottrine,
Lo sentirete, lo sentirete!
Biasimerò le vostre dottrine, lo sentirete!


Ciò per cui una lotta eroica e rinomata, rinomata
Ciò per cui una lotta eroica e rinomata,
Ciò per cui una lotta eroica
Diventa aguzzare il coltello dell'assassino
O dare caccia a morte a un genitore
Con una guerra sanguinosa, sanguinosa,
Morte a un genitore con una guerra sanguinosa.

O voi cosiddetti Giacobiti , state a sentire, state a sentire
O voi cosiddetti Giacobiti , state a sentire.
O voi cosiddetti Giacobiti,
Proclamerò i vostri errori,
E biasimerò le vostre dottrine,
Lo sentirete, lo sentirete!
Biasimerò le vostre dottrine, lo sentirete!


Quindi basta coi vostri progetti, lasciateli stare,
Basta coi vostri progetti, lasciateli stare,
Basta coi vostri progetti,
Adorate il sole che nasce
E lasciate l'uomo libero
al suo destino, al suo destino,
Lasciate l'uomo libero al suo destino.

O voi cosiddetti Giacobiti , state a sentire, state a sentire
O voi cosiddetti Giacobiti , state a sentire.
O voi cosiddetti Giacobiti,
Proclamerò i vostri errori,
E biasimerò le vostre dottrine,
Lo sentirete, lo sentirete!
Biasimerò le vostre dottrine, lo sentirete!


O voi cosiddetti Giacobiti , state a sentire, state a sentire
O voi cosiddetti Giacobiti , state a sentire.
YE JACOBITES BY NAME

You Jacobites by Name, now give Ear, now give Ear,
You Jacobites by Name, now give Ear;
You Jacobites by Name,
Your Praise I will proclaim,
Some says you are to blame for this Wear.

With the Pope you covenant, as they say, as they say,
With the Pope you covenant, as they say,
With the Pope you covenant,
And Letters there you sent,
Which made your Prince present to array.

Your Prince and Duke o'Perth, where they go, where they go,
Your Prince and Duke o'Perth, where they go,
Your Prince and Duke o'Perth,
They're Cumb'rers o' the Earth,
Causing great Hunger and Dearth where they go.

He is the King of Reef, I'll declare, I'll declare,
He is the King of Reef, I'll declare,
He is the King of Reef,
Of a Robber and o' Thief,
To rest void of Relief when he's near.

They marched thro' our Land cruelly, cruelly,
They marched thro' our Land cruelly,
They marched thro' our Land
With a bloody thievish Band
To Edinburgh then they wan Treachery.

To Preston then they came, in a Rout, in a Rout,
To Preston then they came, in a Rout;
To Preston then they came,
Brave Gard'ner murd'red then.
A Traitor did command, as we doubt.

To England then they went, as bold, as bold,
To England then they went, as bold;
To England then they went,
And Carlisle they ta'en't,
The Crown they fain would ha'en't, but behold.

To London as they went, on the Way, on the Way,
To London as they went, on the way,
To London as they went,
In a Trap did there present,
No battle they will stent, for to die.

They turned from that Place, and they ran, and they ran,
They turned from that Place, and they ran;
They turned from that Place
As the Fox, when Hounds do chace.
They tremble at the Name, CUMBERLAN'.

To Scotland then they came, when they fly, when they fly,
To Scotland then they came, when they fly,
To Scotland then they came,
And they robb'd on every Hand,
By Jacobites Command, where they ly.

When Duke William does command, you must go, you must go;
When Duke William does command, you must go;
When Duke William does command,
Then you must leave the Land,
Your Conscience in your Hand like a Crow.

Tho' Carlisle ye took by the Way, by the Way;
Tho' Carlisle ye took by the Way;
Tho' Carlisle ye took,
Short Space ye did it Brook,
These Rebels got a Rope on a Day.

The Pope and Prelacy, where they came, where they came,
The Pope and Prelacy, where they came;
The Pope and Prelacy,
They rul'd with Cruelty,
They ought to hing on high for the same.
