The Northern Lights of Aberdeen

Une chanson typiquement écossaise que les élèves m'ont apprise en musique !

The Northern Lights of Old Aberdeen (et avec l'accent écossais, s'il vous plait !)

 

Les paroles

1. When I was a lad, a tiny wee lad
   My mother said to me
   Come see the Northern Lights my boy
   They' re bright as they can be
   She called them the heavenly dancers
   Merry dancers in the sky
   I'll never forget, that wonderful sight
   They made the heavens bright
   
   The Northern Lights of old Aberdeen
   Mean home sweet home to me
   The Northern Lights of old Aberdeen
   Are what I long to see
   I’ve been a wanderer all of my life
   Any many a sight I've seen
   God speed the day when l' m on my way
   To my home in Aberdeen 
2.  I've wandered in many far-off lands
   And travelled many a mile
   I've missed the folk I cherished most
   The joy of a friendly smile
   It warms up the heart of a wand'rer
   The clasp of a welcoming hand
   To greet me when, I return
   Home to my native land
   Chorus
