Burns Robert - A Mans A Man For A That слова песни




A Man`s A Man For A` That by Robert BurnsIs there for honesty poverty That hings his head, an` a` that;The coward slave--we pass him by, We dare be poor for a` that!For a` that, an` a` that, Our toils obscure an` a` that,The rank is but the guinea`s stamp, The man`s the gowd for a` that.What though on hamely fare we dine, Wear hoddin grey, an` a` that?Gie fools their silks, and knaves their wine, A man`s a man for a` that.For a` that, an` a` that, Their tinsel show, an` a` that,The honest man, tho` e`er sae poor, Is king o` men for a` that.Ye see yon birkie ca`d a lord, Wha struts, an` stares, an` a` that;Tho` hundreds worship at his word, He`s but a coof for a` that.For a` that, an` a` that, His ribband, star, an` a` that,The man o` independent mind He looks an` laughs at a` that.A prince can mak a belted knight, A marquis, duke, an` a` that,But an honest man`s aboon his might, Gude faith, he maunna fa` that!For a` that, an` a` that, Their dignities an` a` that,The pith o` sense, an` pride o` worth, Are higher rank than a` that.Then let us pray that come it may, (As come it will for a` that,)That Sense and Worth, o`er a` the earth, Shall bear the gree, an` a` that,For a` that, an` a` that, It`s coming yet for a` that,That man to man, the world o`er, Shall brithers be for a` that.Notes for the Sasunnach and other strange folks:aboon -- abovebirkie -- a lively, young, forward fellowcoof -- fool, ninniefa` -- have as one`s lotgree -- prizegowd -- goldhame -- homehing -- hanghoddin -- coarse, woollen clothmaunna -- must not(Quoted from: The Complete Illustrated Poems, Songs & Ballads of Robert Burns,London 1990).Enjoy!Gisbert , ,Gisbert W.Selke WIdO, Bonn, Germany
