========================================
古老的苏格兰民歌,气势磅礴的风笛音乐。那其间诉说着苏格兰人民勇敢的精神:“置身于迷蒙的山谷中,眺望在葱茏的山峰上。勇敢,是苏格兰天空下搏动的灵魂;勇猛,是邂逅你的风声;忠诚,是问候你的朋友;友善,是给予你的爱, ...
Hark when the night is falling,
Hear! hear the pipes are calling,
Loudly and proudly calling,
Down thro the glen.
There where the hills are sleeping,
Now feel the blood a-leaping,
High as the spirits of the old Highland men.
Chorus
Towering in gallant fame,
Scotland my mountain hame,
High may your proud standards gloriously wave,
Land of my high endeavour,
Land of the shining river,
Land of my heart for ever,
Scotland the brave.
High in the misty Highlands
Out by the purple islands,
Brave are the hearts that beat
Beneath Scottish skies.
Wild are the winds to meet you,
Staunch are the friends that greet you,
Kind as the love that shines from fair maidens eyes.
Chorus
Far off in sunlit places
Sad are the Scottish faces,
Yearning to feel the kiss
Of sweet Scottish rain.
Where the tropics are beaming
Love sets the heart a-dreaming,
Longing and dreaming for the hameland again.
Chorus
