Over deze songtekst:
Loch Lomond, ook wel The Bonnie Banks o' Loch Lomond geheten, is een oud Schots liedje dat in 1841 voor het eerst werd gepubliceerd.
Loch Lomond is Schotlands grootste meer.
Het gaat over 'me and my true love'. De geliefde die voor de koning bereid is om te sterven. De zin: O ye’ll take the high road, and I’ll take the low road betekent dat jij levend terugkeert (the high road) en ik zal sterven.
By yon bonnie banks and by yon bonnie braes Where the sun shines bright on Loch Lomond Where me and my true love were ever wont to gae On the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lomond O ye’ll take the high road, and I’ll take 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 of Loch Lomond 'Twas there that we parted, in yon shady glen On the steep, steep sides of Ben Lomond Where, in purple hue, the highland hills we view And the moon coming out in the gloaming The wee birdies sing and the wild flowers spring And in sunshine waters lie sleeping But the broken heart it kens, nae second spring again Though the waeful may cease frae their greeting O ye’ll take the high road, and I’ll take 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 of Loch Lomond Yes, me and my true love will never meet again On the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lomond
