We were Soldiers Sgt.MacKenzie

Scottish:
Lay me doon in the caul caul groon
Whaur afore monie mair huv gaun
Lay me doon in the caul caul groon
Whaur afore monie mair huv gaun

When they come a wull staun ma groon
Staun ma groon al nae be afraid

Thoughts awe hame tak awa ma fear
Sweat an bluid hide ma veil awe tears

Ains a year say a prayer faur me
Close yir een an remember me

Nair mair shall a see the sun
For a fell tae a Germans gun

Lay me doon in the caul caul groon
Whaur afore monie mair huv gaun
Lay me doon in the caul caul groon
Whaur afore monie mair huv gaun
Whaur afore monie mair huv gaun

English-
Lay me down in the cold cold ground
Where before many more have gone
Lay me down in the cold cold ground
Where before many more have gone

When they come I will stand my ground
Stand my ground I'll not be afraid

Thoughts of home take away my fear
Sweat and blood hide my veil of tears

Once a year say a prayer for me
Close your eyes and remember me

Never more shall I see the sun
For I fell to a German's gun

Lay me down in the cold cold ground
Where before many more have gone
Lay me down in the cold cold ground
Where before many more have gone
Where before many more have gone

To all those who have gone before regardless of country or ethnicity, if you fought a good fight (flying passenger planes into skyscrapers doesn't count), I salute you. I spent 24 years in the military and mourn the death of any good man. For those how died, Salute.

@brick897 Scottish Government has control over everything except tax and foreign affairs. It is legal to declare a state of unilateral independence.

Vidio is outstanding. sprPee knows no Scottish Gaelic? My grandfather, Robinson clan, selp of Gunn clan, knows his people spoke Caelic, all except the local tribes in Scotland. In the old days, these were fighting men and if they had no Romans, and later English to fight, they foght among themselves. Begone, Pee, you know not what you say.

@sprPee " no such langauge as Scottish Gaelic" - What planet do you inhabit ? My family have spoke it for hundreds of years. Google returns 3,650,000 hit on it.

@sprPee Lake - Loch, Down - Doon, Ball - Baw, To - Tae, Going - Gawn. That is Scots language, it is recognised as a language by the Scottish government, United Kingdom and the European Union.
