Celtic Folk - Both Sides The Tweed слова песни
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Both sides the TweedWhat`s the spring breathing jasmine and roseWhat`s the summer with all its gay trainWhat`s the splendour of autumn to thoseWho`ve bartered their freedom for gain.(chorus)Let the love of our land`s sacred rightsTo the love of our people succeedLet friendship and honour uniteAnd flourish on both sides the Tweed.No sweetness the senses can cheerWhich corruption and bribery bindNo brightness the sun can e`er clearFor honour`s the sum of the mind.(repeat chorus)Let virtue distinguish the bravePlace riches in lowest degreeThink them poorest who can be a slaveThem richest who dare to be free.(repeat chorus)This is a beautiful ballad and was composed by Dick Gaughan.The version I have is by Capercaillie on their Sidewaulk album.
