Talking in English

[Chavali]

Oh, what a talk!
I'm so happy.

Come on, let's drink a tea

A cup of tea?
How nice of thee!
You'll bring the tea,
we the whisky!

Cheerio!

I love Scottish songs, above all those written by bonnie Rabbie Burns...

... and tis one is my favourite:



A Red, Red Rose

O, my luve's like a red, red rose,
That's newly sprung in June.
O, my luve's like the melodie,
That's sweetly play'd in tune.

As fair art thou, my bonie lass,
So deep in luve am I,
And I will luve thee still, my Dear,
Till a' the seas gang dry.

Till a' the seas gang dry, my Dear,
And the rocks melt wi' the sun!
O I will luve thee still, my Dear,
While the sands o' life shall run.

And fare thee weel, my only Luve,
And fare thee weel a while!
And I will come again, my Luve,
Tho' it were ten thousand mile!

Robert Burns (1759-1796)

Zitat von Seeräuber-Jenny

I love Scottish songs ...

So do I!



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.

I do love this song either. Nevis knows it, he put it in his signature.

Skye Boat Song

Speed bonnie boat, like a bird on the wing,
Onward, the sailors cry
Carry the lad that's born to be king
Over the sea to Skye

Loud the winds howl, loud the waves roar,
Thunder clouds rend the air;
Baffled our foe's stand on the shore
Follow they will not dare

Though the waves leap, soft shall ye sleep
Ocean's a royal bed
Rocked in the deep, Flora will keep
Watch by your weary head

Many's the lad fought on that day
Well the claymore could wield
When the night came, silently lay
Dead on Culloden's field

Burned are our homes, exile and death
Scatter the loyal men
Yet, e'er the sword cool in the sheath,
Charlie will come again.


Prince Charles Edward Stuart (1720-1788)

There are many things to tell about Scottish history.

I. Early history

Many foreigners came to conquer Caledonia, as Scotland was named by the Romans. After the Roman occupation Germanic tribes, Vikings and Britons complied the native peoples: the Celts and the Picts.

Later, there were four kingdoms which fought for hegemony over Scotland. In 1034 the Kingdom of Scotland was founded by Malcolm II. Nevertheless there was still struggle as between Malcom's son Duncan I. and Macbeth. During the reign of Malcom III. and his wife Margareta, Normannic influence over Scotland raised. Instead of the former Celtic Church of St. Columba the Roman-Catholic Church became important.

Henceforward England exerted power on Scotland.
