The Flower of Scotland

The Flower of Scotland est l'hymne national écossais.

O Flower of Scotland
When will we see
Your like again,
That fought and died for
Your wee bit Hill and Glen
And stood against him
Proud Edward's Army,
And sent him homeward
Tae think again.

The Hills are bare now
And Autumn leaves lie thick and still
O'er land that is lost now
Which those so dearly held
That stood against him
Proud Edward's Army
And sent him homeward
Tae think again.

Those days are past now
And in the past they must remain
But we can still rise now
And be the nation again
That stood against him
Proud Edward's Army
And sent him homeward,
Tae think again.

O Flower of Scotland
When will we see
Your like again,
That fought and died for
Your wee bit Hill and Glen
And stood against him
Proud Edward's Army,
And sent him homeward
Tae think again.

(écrit et composé par Roy MB Williamson 1936-1990)

Traduction du premier couplet:

Ô Fleur d'Ecosse
Quand te reverrons-nous?
Ceux que se sont battus et sont morts pour
Tes minuscules collines et vallées
Et se sont dressés contre lui
L'armée du fier Edouard
Et l'ont renvoyé chez lui
Ils y pensent encore.
