Sir James the Rose (2010 Remaster)

Traditional

Oh have you heard Sir James the Rose,
The young heir of Loch Laggan,
For he has killed a gallant squire
And his friends are out to take him.

He's gone to the House of Marr
The Nurse there did befriend him,
And he has gone upon his knees
And begged for her to hide him.

'Where're you going Sir James?'Oh I am bound for a foreign land,
But now I'm under hiding.'You'll see the bank above the mill
In the lowlands of Loch Laggan,
And there you'll find Sir James the Rose
Sleeping in the bracken.['You must not wake him out of sleep, Nor yet must you afright him, Just run a dart right through his heart, And through the body pierce him.]

They sought the bank above the mill
In the lowlands of Loch Laggan,
And there they found Sir James the Rose
Sleeping in the bracken.

Then up and spake Sir John the Graeme
Who had the charge a-keeping,
'It'll never be said, dear gentleman,
We killed him while he's sleeping.

Sir James the Rose (2010 Remaster)

Traditionnel

Oh, as-tu entendu parler de Sir James the Rose,
Le jeune héritier de Loch Laggan,
Car il a tué un valeureux écuyer
Et ses amis sont venus pour le retrouver.

Il s'est rendu à la Maison de Marr
La nourrice l'a accueilli,
Et il s'est mis à genoux
Et a supplié qu'elle le cache.

'Où vas-tu, Sir James ?' 'Je pars pour une terre étrangère,
Mais maintenant, je suis caché.' 'Tu verras la berge au-dessus du moulin
Dans les basses terres de Loch Laggan,
Et là, tu trouveras Sir James the Rose
Dormant dans la fougère. ['Tu ne dois pas le réveiller, Ni le faire peur, Lance juste un dard droit dans son cœur, Et transperce son corps.]

Ils ont cherché la berge au-dessus du moulin
Dans les basses terres de Loch Laggan,
Et là, ils ont trouvé Sir James the Rose
Dormant dans la fougère.

Alors, Sir John the Graeme a parlé
Qui était chargé de le garder,
'On ne dira jamais, cher monsieur,
Que nous l'avons tué pendant son sommeil.
