Flower of Scotland

The Corries

Transposer:

Intro : Oh, 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 Edwards army. And sent him homeward, tae think again. The hills are bare now, and autumn leaves lie thick and still. Our land that is lost now, which those so dearly held. That stood against him, proud Edwards army. And sent him homeward, tae think again. Those days are passed now, and in the past they must remain. But we can still rise now, and be the nation again. That stood against him, proud Edwards army. And sent him homeward, tae think again. Oh, 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 Edwards army. And sent him homeward, tae think again. The hills are bare now, and autumn leaves lie thick and still. Our land that is lost now, which those so dearly held. Oh, 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 Edwards army. And sent him homeward, tae think again. (Fade out...)

Cette chanson évoque la nostalgie d'un temps où l'Écosse a résisté avec fierté face à une armée envahissante, symbolisée par Édouard. Elle rend hommage à ceux qui ont sacrifié leur vie pour défendre leur terre, malgré le passage des années et les pertes subies. Il y a un désir de renouveau, une aspiration à raviver cet esprit de résistance et à faire revivre la fierté nationale. L'importance de cette chanson réside dans le souvenir des luttes passées pour la liberté et l'identité écossaise, ainsi que dans l’invocation d’un avenir où cette dignité pourrait être retrouvée. Les paysages dépeints, avec leurs collines et leurs feuilles d'automne, renforcent le sentiment d’un passé révolu, mais toujours cher au cœur des Écossais.
