FLOWERS OF THE FOREST - Traduzione in inglese dallo scozzese
FLOWERS OF THE FORESTFLOWERS OF THE FOREST
  
I've heard the lilting, at the yowe-milking,I've heard the singing, at the ewe-milking,
Lassies a-lilting before dawn o' day;Lassies a-singing before dawn of the day;
But now they are moaning on ilka green loaning;But now they are moaning on every milking-green;
"The Flowers of the Forest are a' wede away"."The Flowers of the Forest are all withered away".
  
Dool and wae for the order sent oor lads tae the Border!Sorrow and woe for the order sent our lads to the Border!
The English for ance, by guile wan the day,The English for once, by guile won the day,
The Flooers o' the Forest, that fought aye the foremost,The Flowers of the Forest, that always fought the foremost,
The pride o' oor land lie cauld in the clay.The pride of our land lies cold in the clay.
  
I've heard the lilting, at the yowe-milking,I've heard the singing, at the ewe-milking,
Lassies a-lilting before dawn o' day;Lassies a-singing before dawn of the day;
But now they are moaning on ilka green loaning;But now they are moaning on every milking-green;
"The Flowers of the Forest are a' wede away"."The Flowers of the Forest are all withered away".
