TUNES FROM MY BELOVED BONNIE SCOTLAND
FRANCE & SCOTLAND FOR THE AULD ALLIANCE !
A la mémoire de Miss Elisabeth Wilkie, ma chère nurse irlando-écossaise, qui nous chantait et dansait des vieux airs traditionnels d'Écosse lorsque j'étais enfant, à Versailles, ma ville natale. Qu'elle repose en paix.
A la mémoire aussi de mes lointains ancêtres de Béthune qui s'installèrent en Écosse au Moyen-Âge, devenant le fameux clan Beaton qui lutta pour la défense du catholicisme, l'indépendance de l'Écosse et l'alliance avec la France et la Norvège contre l'Angleterre.

The Skye boat song. The Corries
Bonnie Prince Charlie
This Scottish folk song is about the escape of Bonnie Prince Charlie, over the sea to Skye, after his defeat at Culloden in 1746. The author of this song, often used as a lullaby, is unknown.
The Skye Boat Song
(Chorus)
Speed Bonnie boat like a bird on the wing
Onward the sailors cry
Carry the lad that's born to be king
Over the sea to Skye
Loud the wind howls, loud the waves roar,
Thunderclaps rend the air
Baffled our foes, stand by the shore
Follow they will not dare
(Chorus)
Speed Bonnie boat like a bird on the wing
Onward the sailors cry
Carry the lad that's born to be king
Over the sea to Skye
Many's the lad fought on that day
Well the claymore did wield
When the night came, silently lain
Dead on Culloden field
(Chorus)
Speed Bonnie boat like a bird on the wing
Onward the sailors cry
Carry the lad that's born to be king
Over the sea to Skye
Though the waves heave, soft will ye sleep
Ocean's a royal bed
Rocked in the deep, Flora will keep
Watch by your weary head
(Chorus)
Speed Bonnie boat like a bird on the wing
Onward the sailors cry
Carry the lad that's born to be king
Over the sea to Skye
Burned are our homes, exile and death
Scatter the loyal men
Yet e'er the sword cool in the sheath
Charlie will come again.
(Chorus)
Speed Bonnie boat like a bird on the wing
Onward the sailors cry
Carry the lad that's born to be king
Over the sea to Skye
"The Battle of Culloden (Scottish Gaelic: Blàr Chùil Lodair) was the final confrontation of the 1745 Jacobite Rising. Taking place on 16 April 1746, the battle pitted the Jacobite forces of Charles Edward Stuart against an army commanded by William Augustus, Duke of Cumberland, loyal to the British government. The Jacobite cause to overthrow the reigning House of Hanover and restore the House of Stuart to the British throne was dealt a decisive defeat at Culloden; Charles Stuart never mounted any further attempts to challenge Hanoverian power in Britain. The conflict was the last pitched battle fought on British soil,[4] occurring near Inverness in the Scottish Highlands.
Charles Stuart's army consisted largely of Scottish Highlanders, as well as a number of Lowland Scots and a small detachment of Englishmen from Manchester. The Jacobites were supported and supplied by the Kingdom of France; French and Irish units loyal to France were part of the Jacobite army. The Government force was mostly English, but also included both Highland and Lowland Scots, a battalion of Irishmen and a small number of Hessians[5] and Austrians.[6] Meeting on Culloden Moor, the battle was both quick and bloody, taking place within an hour. Following an unsuccessful Highland charge against the Government lines, the Jacobites were routed and driven from the field.
Between 1,500 and 2,000 Jacobites were killed or wounded in the brief time, while Government losses were lighter with 50 dead and 259 wounded. The aftermath of the battle and subsequent crackdown on Jacobitism was brutal, earning Cumberland the sobriquet "Butcher". Efforts were taken to further integrate Scotland into Great Britain; civil penalties were introduced to weaken Gaelic culture and attack the Scottish clan system. "

Le Saltire
"Le drapeau de l'Écosse arbore un sautoir blanc, une crux decussata représentant la croix du martyr chrétien l'apôtre saint André, patron de l'Écosse sur un fond bleu. Il est souvent connu sous le nom de Croix de saint André ou The Saltire (sautoir en anglais). En langage héraldique il est blasonné d'azur, au sautoir d'argent.
C'est l'un des plus vieux drapeaux au monde, traditionnellement daté du IXe siècle, et le plus vieux drapeau national encore en usage. Selon la légende, le roi Oengus II des Pictes (ou King Angus) mena les Pictes et les Gaëls durant une bataille contre les Angles sous le roi Athelstan d'Est-Anglie. King Angus et ses hommes furent encerclés et il se mit à prier pour leur délivrance. Durant la nuit Saint André, qui avait été martyrisé sur une croix diagonale, apparut à Angus et l'assura de la victoire. Le lendemain un sautoir blanc sur un fond de ciel bleu apparu des deux côtés et encouragea les Pictes et les Gaëls mais fit perdre confiance aux Angles qui furent battus. La croix de Saint André devint ainsi le drapeau écossais." (extrait de l'article Wikipedia).

The Corries : Scots Wha hae
"Robert the BruceIl galvanise ses troupes et prie ceux qui ne sont pas prêts à combattre à mort de quitter le champ de bataille. Le poète écossais Robert Burns le met en vers en 1793 sous le titre Robert Bruce's March To Bannockburn et ce chant deviendra un hymne patriotique écossais officieux avant d'être supplanté par The Flower of Scotland."
Commentaire d'un internaute écossais à propos de l'origine de ce chant:
"I did once read something about the song, the original that is, being sung by the Scots Mercenaries who fought for Joan d'Arc as they stormed Orleans... Robert Burns merely "collected" the lyrics, and the tune was added later (no-one is really sure what tune the words were originally sang to...)
"Scots, wha hae wi' Wallace bled,
Scots, wham Bruce has aften led,
Welcome to your gory bed,
Or to victory.
Now's the day, and now's the hour;
See the front of battle lower;
See approach proud Edward's power—
Chains and slavery.
Wha will be a traitor knave?
Wha can fill a coward's grave?
Wha sae base as be a slave?
Let him turn and flee.
Wha for Scotland's King and law
Freedom's sword will strongly draw,
Freeman stand, or 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 every foe!
Liberty's in every blow
Let us do—or die."
The Corries - Loch Lomond
By yon bonnie banks and by yon bonnie braes
Where the sun shines bright on Loch Lomond
Where me and my true love will ne-er meet again (ou bien : Where me and my true love were ever lak / wont to gae)
On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lomond.
Refrain :
O you'll take the high road and I’ll take the low road
And I'll be in Scotland afore ye
For me and my true love will ne-er meet again
On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lomond.
'Twas there that we parted in yon shady glen
On the steep, steep sides o' Ben Lomond
Where deep in purple hue, the hieland hills we view
And the moon comin' out in the gloamin'.
Refrain
The wee birdies sing and the wild flowers spring
And in sunshine the waters are sleeping
But the broken heart, it kens nae second spring again
Tho' the waeful may cease frae their greeting. (ou bien : Tho' the world knows not how we are grieving)

L'une de mes préférées: The Bonnie Moorhen ("la jolie poule d'eau", image pour parler de Bonnie Prince Charlie, pour n'être pas compris des Anglais):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Y8lJeOrqPg
My bonnie moorhen, my bonnie moorhen,
Up in the grey hill, doon in the glen;
It's when ye gang but the house, when ye gang ben,
Aye drink a health to my bonnie moorhen.
My bonnie moorhen's gane over the main
And it will be simmer or she comes again;
But when he comes back again some folk will ken,
joy be with thee, my bonnie moorhen.
My bonnie moorhen has feathers anew,
She's a' fine colours, but nane o' them blue.
She's red and she's white and she's green and she's grey,
My bonnie moorhen, come hither away.
Come up by Glenduich and down by Glendee,
And round by Kinclaven and hither to me;
For Ronald and Donald are oot on the fen
Tae break the wing of my bonnie moorhen.
My bonnie moorhen's gane over the main
And it will be simmer or she comes again;
But when he comes back again some folk will ken,
joy be with thee, my bonnie moorhen.
joy be with thee, my bonnie moorhen.

Jock O' Braidislee
Johnny got up on a May mornin'
Called for water to wash his hands
Says "Gie loose tae me my twa grey dugs
That lie in iron bands - bands
That lie in iron bands"
Johnny's mother she heard o' this
Her hands for dool she wrang
Sayin' "Johnny for your venison
Tae the greenwood dinnae gang - gang
Tae the greenwood dinnae gang"
But Johnny has ta'en his guid bend bow
His arrows one by one
And he's awa' tae the greenwood gane
Tae ding the dun deer doon - doon
Tae ding the dun deer doon
Noo Johnny shot and the dun deer leapt
And he wounded her in the side
And there between the water and the woods
The grey hounds laid her pride - her pride
The grey hounds laid her pride
They ate so much o' the venison
They drank so much o' the blood
That Johnny and his twa grey dugs
Fell asleep as though were deid - were deid
Fell asleep as though were deid
Then by there cam' a silly auld man
An ill death may he dee
For he's awa' tae Esslemont
The seven foresters for tae see - tae see
The foresters for tae see
As I cam' in by Monymusk
Doon among yon scruggs
Well there I spied the bonniest youth
Lyin' sleepin' atween twa dugs - twa dugs
Lyin' sleepin' atween twa dugs
The buttons that were upon his sleeve
Were o' the gowd sae guid
And the twa grey hounds that he lay between
Their mouths were dyed wi' blood - wi' blood
Their mouths were dyed wi' blood
Then up and jumps the first forester
He was captain o' them a'
Sayin "If that be Jock o' Braidislee
Unto him we'll draw - we'll draw
Unto him we'll draw"
The first shot that the foresters fired
It hit Johnny on the knee
And the second shot that the foresters fired
His heart's blood blint his e'e - his e'e
His heart's blood blint his e'e
Then up jumps Johnny fae oot o' his sleep
And an angry man was he
Sayin "Ye micht have woken me fae my sleep
Ere my heart's blood blint my e'e - my e'e
Ere my heart's blood blint my e'e"
But he's rested his back against an oak
His fit upon a stane
And he has fired at the seven o' them
He's killed them a' but ane - but ane
He's killed them a' but ane
He's broken four o' that one's ribs
His airm and his collar bane
And he has set him upon his horse
Wi' the tidings sent him hame - hame
Wi' the tidings sent him hame
But Johnny's guid bend bow is broke
His twa grey dugs are slain
And his body lies in Monymusk
His huntin' days are dane - are dane
His huntin' days are dane

Elizabeth Wilkie, my dear nurse and friend. Be in peace and joy where you lay, Elspeth. Your Pierre-Olivier.
Conon de Béthune (vers 1150 dans l'ancien Artois, aujourd'hui Pas-de-Calais - 17 décembre 1219 ou 1220, à ou près de Constantinople ou peut-être Adrianople) était un croisé et un poète "trouvère".
Né en 1150, il est le 10e fils de Robert V, seigneur de Béthune et avoué de l'abbaye de Saint-Vaast d'Arras (dans l'actuel Pas-de-Calais), mort au siège d'Acre en 1191. Par sa grand-mère, Conon de Béthune était apparenté à la famille régnante du Hainaut en Flandre. Il est probable (d'après les commentaires faits dans l'un de ses poèmes) que Conon se soit présenté devant la cour française à l'occasion du mariage du roi Philippe Auguste avec Isabelle de Hainaut en 1180 et qu'il ait chanté ses chansons devant Marie de Champagne (connue pour sa relation avec Chrétien de Troyes).
Après avoir participé à la troisième croisade, Conon de Béthune part (avec son frère Guillaume) à la quatrième croisade en 1200, accompagnant les chevaliers de Baudouin, comte de Flandre, et servant d'orateur officiel. Son éloquence, sa sagesse et sa chevalerie sont louées par Geoffroi de Villehardouin (qui dit de Conon : "Bon chevalier et sage estoit et bien eloquens"). Après la conquête de Constantinople (1204), Conon de Béthune occupe plusieurs postes importants dans le gouvernement de Baudouin (puis d'Henri de Flandre et de Pierre de Courtenay) et joue un rôle clé dans la réconciliation de Baudouin avec Boniface de Montferrat et dans la bataille d'Adrianople. Après la mort de l'impératrice Yolanda de Flandre en 1219, il est choisi par les barons comme régent de l'Empire, mais meurt peu après en 1219 ou 1220 dans la ville d'Adrianople (aujourd'hui Edirne, Turquie européenne).
