Both Sides The Tweed – Capercaillie – letras

What’s the spring breathing jasmine and roseWhat’s the summer with all its gay trainWhat’s the splendour of autumn to thoseWho’ve bartered their freedom for gain.Let the love of our land’s sacred rightsTo the love of our people succeedLet friendship and honour uniteAnd flourish on both sides of the Tweed.No sweetness the senses can cheerWhich corruption and bribery bindNo brightness the sun can e’er clearFor honour’s the sum of the mind.Let virtue distinguish the bravePlace riches in lowest degreeThink them poorest who can be a slaveThem richest who dare to be free
