Omnia - Twa Corbiez

Omnia - Twa Corbiez

As I was walking all alane,
I heard twa corbies making a mane;
The tane unto the t'other say,
'Where sall we gang and dine to-day?'
'In behint yon auld fail dyke,
I wot there lies a new slain knight;
And naebody kens that he lies there,
But his hawk, his hound, and lady fair.
'His hound is to the hunting gane,
His hawk to fetch the wild-fowl hame,
His lady's ta'en another mate,
So we may mak our dinner sweet.
'Ye'll sit on his white hause-bane,
And I'll pike out his bonny blue een;
Wi ae lock o his gowden hair
We'll, theek our nest when it grows bare.
'Mony a one for him makes mane,
But nane sall ken where he is gane;
Oer his white banes, when they we bare,
The wind sall blaw for evermair.'

Das schmerzt ja im Herz, in der Seele und im Geist wie schön dieses Lied ist.. und was würd' ich nicht alles geben so singen oder so spielen zu können..!

[Timmavid167]

Why all those disscussions?? Just listen to this wonderfull music!!

To end the discussion about raven and crow:

A raven is a sort of crow.....

It's the same as you say: Homo sapiens is the same as Homo erectus....

No, they're both from 'genus' Homo...

but they are different 'species'.....sapiens and erectus

A raven's latin name is: Corvus corax

A crow's latin name is: Corvus corone

Just google a bit and you would know that.....

[curaidh]

why does EVERY folk band do this song?

[09asmodeus]

@Timmavid167 and what about "homo Zkleslus" its same as "Homo erectus" but his dick is not up to sky but to ground :DD

[realwitch333]

[superraptor65]

This is a Scottish song but for some reason sung in English,the original is in lollans

[filidhfeye]

@EpicPowerMetalhead: Es ist das schottische Original. Die Rabenballade ist eine sehr "seichte" Übersetzung davon.

[rooieroxy]

(Omnia ist aus niederlande) love&peace

As I was walking all alone I heard two ravens cry and moan The one onto the other did say-o Where shall we go and dine today-o? Where shall we go and dine today?

[rooieroxy]

Out beyond that old high dike I know there lies a murdered knight And no-one knows that he lies there-o But his hawk and his hound and his lady fair-o His hawk and his hound and his lady fair

His hound is to the hunting gone His hawk to fetch the wild bird home His lady loves another knight-o So we may make our dinner sweet-o So we may make our dinner sweet

[rooieroxy]

So you may sit on his white thigh And I’ll peck out his bonny blue eyes And with a lock of his golden hair-o We’ll fix our nest when it grows bare-o We’ll fix our nest when it grows bare

There’s many a one for him does moan But none will know where he is gone And o’er his bones when they lie bare-o The wind will blow forever more-o The wind will blow forever more
