[modifica] Testo
Scots, wha hae wi' Wallace bled,
Scots, wham Bruce has aften led,
Welcome to your gory bed...
Or to Victorie!
Now's the day, an' now's the hour;
See the front o' battle lour;
See approach proud Edward's pow'r...
Chains and slavery!
Wha would be a traitor knave?
Wha would fill a coward's grave?
Wha sae base as be a slave?
Let him turn and flie!
Wha for Scotland's king an' law,
Freedom's sword would strongly draw,
Freeman stand and freeman fa',
Let him on wi' me!
By oppression's woes and pains!
By your sons in servile chains!
We will drain our dearest veins,
But they shall be free!
Lay the proud usurpers low!
Tyrants fall in ev'ry foe!
Liberty's in every blow!
Let us do-or die!
