Текст (слова) песни: Burns Robert - Parcel O` Rogues



Parcel o` Rogues
================
Fareweel to a` oor Scottish fame
Fareweel oor ancient glory
Fareweel even tae oor Scottish name
Sae famed in martial story
Noo Sark runs o`er the Solway sands
Tweed runs tae the ocean
Tae mark wher
e England`s province stands
Such a parcel o` rogues in a nation
What force or guile could not subdue
Through many wor-like ages
Is rocked now by the coward few
For hireling traitor`s wages
The English steel we could disdain
Secure in valou
r`s station
But English gold has been oor bane
Such a parcel o` rogues in a nation
O would or I had seen the day
That treason thus would sell us
My old grey heid had lain in clay
Wi` Bruce and loyal Wallace
But pith and power till my last
hour
I`ll mak` this declaration
We are bought and sold for English gold
Such a parcel o` rogues in a nation
[ Written by Robert Burns as a protest against the Act of Union, 1707, which
joined the parliaments of England and Scotland. Although initially against
the Act, the Scottish parliament soon agreed when offered a large pension
each by the English government. The people had no say, and thus were
`bought and sold for English gold`. They are still paying the price. ]
