about

This popular Scottish song traces its origins to the Jacobite uprisings in Scotland (1688–1746). This version was re-written by Scottish poet Robert Burns in 1791, who turned it into an anti-war song.

Lucie Azconaga - vocals, harmonium
Consuelo Nerea Breschi - vocals, bodhrán
Helen Diamond - vocals

lyrics

Ye Jacobites by name lend an ear, lend an ear
Ye Jacobites by name lend an ear
Ye Jacobites by name your faults I will proclaim
Your doctrines I must blame, you shall hear, you shall hear
Your doctrines I must blame, you shall hear.

What is right and what is wrong by the law, by the law
What is right and what is wrong by the law
What is right and what is wrong, a short sword and a long
A weak arm and a strong for to draw, for to draw,
A weak arm and a strong for to draw.

What makes heroic strife famed afar, famed afar?
What makes heroic strife famed afar?
What makes heroic strife, to whet the assassin's knife
Or haunt a parent's life with bloody war, bloody war,
Or haunt a parent's life with bloody war.

Then leave your schemes alone in the state, in the state
Then leave your schemes alone in the state
Then leave your schemes alone, adore the rising sun
And leave a man alone to his fate, to his fate,
And leave a man alone to his fate.

Ye Jacobites by name lend an ear, lend an ear
Ye Jacobites by name lend an ear
Ye Jacobites by name your faults I will proclaim
Your doctrines I must blame, you shall hear, you shall hear,
Your doctrines I must blame, you shall hear.

What makes heroic strife famed afar, famed afar?
What makes heroic strife famed afar?
What makes heroic strife, to whet the assassin's knife
Or haunt a parent's life with bloody war, bloody war,
Or haunt a parent's life with bloody war.
