Tal der weisen Narren

Weil ich euch dieses kraftvolle irische traditionelle Lied nicht vorenthalten wollte, dachte ich mir, stelle ich es ins Forum.

Hier das Lied: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hMdoGet2A8


Of all the money, e'er I had,
I spent it in good company,
And all the harm I have ever done,
'Alas it was to none but me.

And all I've done for want of wit,
To memory now I can't recall,
So fill to me the parting glass,
Goodnight and joy be with you all.

So fill to me the parting glass,
And drink a health whate'er befalls,
Then gently rise and softly call,
Goodnight and joy be to you all.

Of all the comrades that e'er I had,
They're sorry for my going away,
And all the sweethearts that e'er I had,
They'd wish me one more day to stay.

But since it fell into my lot,
That I should rise and you should not,
I'll gently rise and softly call,
Goodnight and joy be to you all.

Fill to me the parting glass,
And drink a health whate'er befalls,
Then gently rise and softly call,
Goodnight and joy be to you all.

Fill to me the parting glass,
And drink a health whate'er befalls,
Then gently rise and softly call,
Goodnight and joy be to you all.

Ach, der. Seine Loch-Lomond-Version gefällt mir aber besser  

Also ganz eindeutig gefällt mir die "Loch Lomond"-Version von "The Tartan Army" am besten. Bei der anderen Truppe schlaf ich bei beiden Liedern ein.

Großartiges Lied!

O ye'll tak' the high road, and I'll tak' the low road,
And I'll be in Scotland afore ye,
But me and my true love will never meet again,
On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lomond!
