Текст с Bandcamp’a: “Another inspiration from the singing of the mighty Dick Gaughan. Hamish Henderson wrote this international anthem over 50 years ago, but it remains as relevant as ever. (‘Broken families in lands we’ve harried.’) The song was a contender to become the Scottish national anthem, and I prefer it to The Flower of Scotland – not because I am English, but because this song is less jingoistic, and celebrates the banishing of the ‘rottans’, an end to colonialism, and the flowering of international world peace. lyrics Rough the winds in the clear day’s dawning Blows the clouds heilster-gowdie o’er the bay But there’s mair than a rough win blowing Through the Great Glen of the world today. It’s a thought that would gar our rottans All they rogues that gang gallus, fresh an gay Take the road an seek other loanins For their ill-ploys to sport an play Nae mair will our bonnie callants March to war when our braggarts crousely craw Nor wee wains frae pithead an clachan Mourn the ships sailing down the Broomielaw Broken families in lands we’ve hairriet, Will curse ’Scotlan the Brave’ nae mair, nae mair Black and white one-til-other mairriet Make the vile barracks o their masters bare So come all ye at home with freedom Never heed what the houdies croak for Doom In your house all the bairns of Adam Can find bread, barley-bree an painted room When MacLane meets wi’ his friends in Springburn All they roses an geans will turn to blume An a black boy frae yont Nyanga Dings the fell gallows o’ the burghers down. ©Hamish Henderson from Heavy Duty - Ballads of the Unfree, released February 1, 2018 song by Hamish Henderson / Dick Gaughan“
